Before the Obama nation start jumping down my throat, everything I am about to write came from Obama's new website http://www.change.gov/ http://www.change.gov/americaserves/ The Obama Administration will call on Americans to serve in order to meet the nation’s challenges. President-Elect Obama will expand national service programs like AmeriCorps and Peace Corps and will create a new Classroom Corps to help teachers in under served schools, as well as a new Health Corps, Clean Energy Corps, and Veterans Corps. Obama will call on citizens of all ages to serve America, by developing a plan to require 50 hours of community service in middle school and high school and 100 hours of community service in college every year. Obama will encourage retiring Americans to serve by improving programs available for individuals over age 55, while at the same time promoting youth programs such as Youth Build and Head Start. Did you catch what Obama just wrote, he will require 50 hours of community service in middle school and high school and 100 hours of community service in college every year. Require, when is it the job of government to start requiring community service from us. Can we say SOCIALISM, and I was a nut for calling him that during the election. http://www.change.gov/agenda/poverty/ Expand Paid Sick Days: Today, three-out-of-four low-wage workers have no paid sick days. Obama and Biden support guaranteeing workers seven paid sick days per year. When did it become the roll of government to make sure you have sick days. Establish 20 Promise Neighborhoods: Obama and Biden will create 20 Promise Neighborhoods in areas that have high levels of poverty and crime and low levels of student academic achievement in cities across the nation. The Promise Neighborhoods will be modeled after the Harlem Children's Zone, which provides a full network of services, including early childhood education, youth violence prevention efforts and after-school activities, to an entire neighborhood from birth to college. The federal government created the inter city projects, now the same government wants to spend more of your money to create Promise Neighborhoods. I wonder how that will work out. Fully Fund the Community Development Block Grant: Obama and Biden will fully fund the Community Development Block Grant program and engage with urban leaders across the country to increase resources to the highest-need Americans. Great more money to ACORN. http://www.change.gov/agenda/taxes/ Cut taxes for 95 percent of workers and their families with a tax cut of $500 for workers or $1,000 for working couples. Sorry Obama but that is not a tax cut, that is just giving people money. http://www.change.gov/agenda/civilrights/ End Deceptive Voting Practices Obama will sign into law his legislation that establishes harsh penalties for those who have engaged in voter fraud and provides voters who have been misinformed with accurate and full information so they can vote. Oh like ACORN right! http://www.change.gov/agenda/homelandsecurity/ Win the Battle of Ideas: An Obama Administration will defeat al Qaeda in what the 9-11 Commission called "the Battle of Ideas" by returning to an American foreign policy consistent with America's traditional values and by working with moderates within the Islamic world to counter al Qaeda propaganda. Barack Obama will establish a $2 billion Global Education Fund to work to eliminate the global education deficit and offer an alternative to extremist schools. So we are going to start paying their education, oh that will work. Next we will start paying suicide bomber not to kill themselves. http://www.change.gov/agenda/defense/ Expand to Meet Military Needs on the Ground: Barack Obama and Joe Biden support plans to increase the size of the Army by 65,000 soldiers and the Marines by 27,000 troops. Increasing our end strength will help units retrain and re-equip properly between deployments and decrease the strain on military families. Well if war is bad then we do not need more troops. What war is Obama planning on fighting with these new troops? Create a Civilian Assistance Corps (CAC): An Obama-Biden administration will set a goal of creating a national CAC of 25,000 personnel. This corps of civilian volunteers with special skill, sets (doctors, lawyers, engineers, city planners, agriculture specialists, police, etc.) would be organized to provide each federal agency with a pool of volunteer experts willing to deploy in times of need at home and abroad. Why do we need a CAC Obama? I am going to stop there but fell free to read more about the Great Obama.
