Good thing my children won't be going to any government indoctrination camps (aka public schools).

In Prince Georges County, Maryland, where I graduated from high school, 50 hours of community service was a requirement for graduation. I don't see that as an issue. I'd gladly do community service if it was going to shave a few thousand dollars off of my 35,000 dollar tuition.

His plan sounds great! It will teach people to care about their communities an d that other people might have it worse than them. Plus they are getting something out of it. Its nothing like slavery! Lots of social groups require public service. I'd rather see someone get into college because of their service rather than their ability to throw a ball!

I'm surprised no one from the National Review has called for showing “A Birth of A Nation” again, so as to “inform” the public of what will happen if someone like Obama becomes POTUS.

All Obama is doing is applying the “conservative” welfare-to-work principle.

What kind of a paper is LA Times for even running this piece? What were they thinking? Tossing “slavery” around like pennies. *SMH*

I'm trying to define people who can “stretch” and, therefore, distort Mr. Obama's statements to tranform them into their “SICK” mentality. Back in the day, there was a song- “Rubber Band Man”. For now [until I come up with a different concept], I'll call them – ta-dum – “People Who Think With RUBBER BAND BRAINS”!
A point about rubber bands is that they can reach an “elastic limit” and never return to their original shape. That's where the “RUBBER BAND BRAINS” are headed. I would love to be around when they “snap”. L8R

Many of those who read and commented on this story are very anti-Obama. It's ugly over there. It makes me want to send him some $.

Sad but true; Thomas Jefferson even comptemplated this long before there was a Barack.

If people doubt the wag-the-dog pure politics of this theater, then their weave is in too tight.

LOL

First, the Columbian "rescue" and now this. Funny thing is that neither has achieved their goals of giving McCain his presidential moment.

Good for Obama for beating McCain at his own game.

Did anybody catch Brian Williams on MSNBC just now?

He said that McCain was scheduled to appear on all the morning shows today. How convenient. The same day the Iranians test their missiles. I guess he wanted the "presidential" foreign policy soapbox.

But he wouldn't have it alone, despite his best efforts.

When the missile test story broke, Barack's people scheduled him to appear on the morning shows at the last minute to discuss the situation and have his own presidential moment.

Meantime, Bush is in Japan and hasn't appeared on any network.

If people doubt the wag-the-dog pure politics of this theater, then their weave is in too tight.

He's far off, sandalstraps. He's over the cliff.

Slavery is our prison system, now run by private corporations in many jurisdictions. Let's hear Goldberg talk about that.

Oh, you'd be surprised. Some people hate Obama so much — people who ordinarily would disagree with something like this or anything the Right says — that they will co-sign this garbage.

It's really sad. This election has really exposed the pettiness in people.

Hey Rikyrah,

Can you add Al Giordiano's "The Field" to the blog list and This Week with Barack Obama?

Thanks.

LOL, but seriously many people think that if Obama is elected, blacks will get “brand new” and start getting uppity attitudes with them and white people will be forced into slavery for revenge. These people seriously think that.

Isn't this just another attempt to inject a subliminal torpedo into the political dialogue?

There are moments – and this is one of them – when I can only shake my head at the ridiculousness of some of these right-wing pundits. They're all freaking nutcases!
