My reason is not based on paranoia. To state that is to imply that you willingly deny yourself the truth. He said it himself. Straight from the horses mouth.

Paranoya. There will never be mandatory service in the US. The US prides itselft in volunteerism, such as our all-volunteer military.

Obama was asking the students of A&M to participate in community service. Don't get me wrong, community service is great when it's voluntary. The thing with Obama's message is that he ultimately wants to implement this civilian national compulsory service. A&M was the first to recieve this speech because they understand that A&M is a big military school. It's incremental so you can become cpmplacent when hearing about it. Basic psychology: habituation. I expect you to connect the dots.

Okay. It's alot to explain. To put it in layman terms, These protesters realize Obama's real agenda. These American citizens are tired of Obama lying to them. If the buck stops with him why hasn't he listened to the american people. They're his boss, not the other way around. You don't ask what you can do for your president. Your president asks what he can do for his people.(At least, that's the way it supposed to be)

Oh, and there was no signicant middle class in the US until AFTER WWII when all the the new industry and technology led to suburbs and a new social class.

[ncfte11]

Right, so war builds debt, not profit. But what does the current war and economic problem (which I'm not denying) have to do with community service? Why do people have to change the issue at hand that was the reason for Obama's visit to protest random issues that have nothing to do with the message of the day--serving and helping others.

[pSychOAtDawn]

You would have to understand the basis of a free market to consider my statement. War is profit, for those who provide the resources for war(aka oil, guns, machinery). War is bad for the middle class. Taxes on the people funds the war.(this is why we also have a huge deficit, 7yr war) Cut the peoples paychecks, less to spend. Less to spend=Less consuming. Less consuming=less production. Less production=cut backs on product. Cut backs on product leads to job cuts. Reason and logic will help you.

It was WWII that brought us out of the GD more so than any Government action or the New Deal Program. The US government is to complex to come up with a real solution to any complex problem. Gridlock, filibusters, etc. are the antagonist to real solutions to America's problems- then and now.

[ncfte11]

What does a civilian national security group have to do with community service? Did it have anything to do with his visit to A&M? And when did Obama ever say it was going to be mandatory, or that even community service would be mandatory? Why can't people just agree that community service in its basic form is a good thing that we should all do sometime?

The girl relying on the statistics about on what got us out of the great depression (8:10-8:20) where she claimed the rich 1% saved the poor, is a fallacy. I have no idea where she got those numbers from. With my reasoning, increasing the size of government just increased the burden on the free market. It was in the post-wartime economy that Truman instituted massive scale-backs in government spending and regulations that helped us see a real recovery.
