Quote from a speech by Obama on Jul 2:

Just as we teach math and writing, arts and athletics, we need to teach young Americans to take citizenship seriously. Study after study shows that students who serve do better in school, are more likely to go to college, and more likely to maintain that service as adults. So when I’m President, I will set a goal for all American middle and high school students to perform 50 hours of service a year, and for all college students to perform 100 hours of service a year. This means that by the time you graduate college, you’ll have done 17 weeks of service.

I would ask that you comtemplate what the Media and the Democrats would have said, if John McCain had made this speech.  The cries of “Fascist” would have been drowned out only by the references to creating a new “Hitler Youth”.
