Comment on: A Jarhead full of Common Sense

Office of the President elect?!?!

Interesting

Interesting, very, very, interesting.

:(

Great, now I have someone to call when my grass needs cutting. While in middle school I mowed my parent’s grass every week I guess that was a form of community service. Wow how times have changed, now I can call on Obama and just maybe he can send his children to cut my grass while I WORK to support my family. And maybe I’ll just send my kid’s down the road picking up trash for the community as I call from WORK to see if my grass is done. What I just wrote didn’t make a bit of sense neither does Obama’s Policy for change.

Jarhead: This is not for middle class

First, underserved schools are not found in middle class neighbrhoods, they are the urban and minority schools. So now Robinhood wants to take from the middle class and give to the poor. We can't get kids to do 50 hours of homework in a year, let alone community service.

Second, do 100 hours of community service and get $4,000 credit for school....college kids making $40.00 per hour. Most college kids don't make $4,000.00 per year, and what about the adult learner. Are we discriminated against...no longer useful in society? So, if yo are not the academically inclined and are barely literate, you can give 100 hours of community service (wash cars in a empty parking lot) and go to college for a year to take basket weaving.

Obama's mouth wrote checks that he cannot cover to win an election. Now he wants the middle class to meet his promises. There is no money, and there is no change. More handovers from the middle class, not handouts.
