If you think Obama will be different you are wrong, he will have the same people pulling his chain as Bush did.
    And in fact, when I comes to spending, which candidate talks about increasing government and therefore spending, Obama, and which one consistently states we need to cut spending, McCain.

    Add on that Obama's "Universal voluntary public service" plan.

    Expand Service-Learning in Our Nation’s Schools: In November, Barack Obama laid out a comprehensiveplan to provide all Americans with a world-class education and give our schools a substantial infusion of funds to support teachers and principals and improve student learning. That plan conditions that assistance on school districts developing programs to engage students in service opportunities. Obama and Biden believe that middle and high school students should be expected to engage in community service for 50 hours annually during the school year or summer months. They will develop national guidelines for service-learning and community service programs, and will give schools better tools both to develop successful programs and to document the experience of students at all levels. They will encourage programs that engage with community partners to expand opportunities for community service and service-learning opportunities, so that students can apply what they learn in the classroom to authentic situations that help the community. These programs will also involve citizens from the community engaging students in service opportunities through the Classroom Corps.

    First, I'm missing the "voluntary" part.

    Second, now besides, after school band concerts, flute & piano lessons, cross country track and the meets, chess club, play practice, and church volunteering
    I'm supposed to gas up and cart my kids for 2 hours of government mandated volunteer work per week?

    Third, when did Obama get the idea that he needs to control more of how I raise my children?

    This Obama guy makes me nervous.
