President-elect Barack Obama says there can't be any "idle hands" at a time when so many people are enduring hardships.
During a visit to an emergency homeless shelter for teens in the nation's capital, Obama said that given the "crisis" the nation is facing, "everybody's going to have to pitch in." And he said Americans are "ready to do that."

Well, I flat-out REFUSE to participate in any Government-mandated charity work. Now if it’s of my own free will, that’s a VERY different story. So what are you going to do with a refusenik, O? Waterboard me?/s;)
Unlike Zero I did 8 years of volunteering in the US armed forces.
Just like a liberal, requiring you to give your money, while they don’t and now volunteering your time when they never have.
AMEN from me. I wonder if the hussein voters realize they need to start paying taxes....... to "pitch in".
I am praying that God will visit a plague of Biblical proportions including hail, pestilence, wind, fire, lightning, and hail mixed with fire will be visited daily upon Oboomba the Usurper and all those who rejoice in his abominations tomorrow, Jan 20, in Washington DC right in the middle of his corrupt coup dtat of the formerly great USA. May Oboomba be punished mightily for his evil deeds & deceptions.
Unfortunately I don't think this will happen, however I never thought that Bush would pardon or at commute the jail terms for Ramos & Compean either. And at least he commuted the sentences. So maybe there is a glimmer of hope that God will answer the prayers of many, and not allow this arrogant prideful egomaniac Oboomba to gloat & preen in all his demonic pride & glory.
These six things doth the Lord hate, yea, seven are an abomination to him. A proud look, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked plans, feet that run swiftly to evil, a false witness that speaks lies and he that sows discord among the brethen. Prov 6:16-19. Oboomba matches every one of these to a tee. I hope & pray that God strikes down this arrogant, prideful, self-proclaimed messiah.
Does it count that I am helping out the gun industry?
I've got two middle fingers that aren't doing anything.
Yeah leave that up to the College pukes that voted for him. It’s a new way to clean-up Spring Break once and for all. ;-)
I have just caught it twice and am wondering if this is just another of the "Obama Youth Camps" type activities to indoctrinate young blacks. Under the guise of asking them to dedicate one year to serve their cities voluntarily, (and making it appear this is for building self-esteem and some sort of positive commitment to their communities) it actually seems like a sort of empowerment mission to instill fear and give them control. Throughout the commercial are words like "I have changed, etc., and it ends with one fellow saying, "I am FIERCE!"
That word blew my mind. Fierce?
Are today's youth, in Obama's world supposed to aspire to being FIERCE? Is that a trait worthy of trying to gain? Truly, I feel it is a frightening ad, and a frightening concept. Just like we saw during the campaign with the Gestapo-like youths marching in the video, this ad seems to want youth to become focused on being powerful not on being humanitarians or doing good for others out of a sense of decency, concern, or love for one another. It seems like a covert approach via the "organization" City Year to instill greater hostility and anger in black youths by encouraging them to want to be "FIERCE!"
With that choice of words as their goal for these youths - what horrors can we expect from those drawn into joining such movements as they are trained to become -- Fierce?
Thanks for the ping!
That's all in the past now. Anyone who can't pass the registration test need not apply. I will never offer my assistance to another Democrat.
I can almost envision the next "Freep The White House"! coming up soon. Just like the old days.
Arbeit macht frei, after all...

How long before the reeducation camps get set up?
Let the ones that pay no taxes pick up the trash.
ROFLMAS!!!!!!
He can go straight to hell!
Ever notice how liberals insist anybody under the age of 18 shouldn’t be allowed to work as that would be abuse of children, but now they insist children not have any idle hands and must work for free?
What happened to the lawn mowing and baby sitting work of yesteryear so a young kid could save money to go to college or buy a car?
Yes we are, and we’re planning on doing just that as soon as our tax cuts come through. After all, I won’t be paying any taxes at all, Obama promised.
