"It's because you have an obligation to yourself. Because our individual salvation depends on collective salvation. Because thinking only about yourself, fulfilling your immediate wants and needs, betrays a poverty of ambition. Because it's only when you hitch your wagon to something larger than yourself that you realize your true potential and discover the role you'll play in writing the next great chapter in America's story," he says."

Sounds good to me. Lets bring back the draft!!

our [evil] money culture

The first post money President? Wonder how that will work out.

Funny thing about money, it never sticks around where it isn't welcome.

"You can take your diploma, walk off this stage, and chase only after the big house and the nice suits and all the other things that our money culture says you should by"

I suppose Obama will give up his big house and nice suits really soon right? Probably right after Al Gore gives up his large house and private flights to reduce CO2 emissions.

But I hope you don't. Not because you have an obligation to those who are less fortunate

And of course becoming a politician is a much better way to help out society than actually producing something...
