Exactly. Obama wants to bring back citizen service as a value. I think it's a good idea. We've all gotten too far away from our roots and I don't see pride of country in our children anymore. There is this feeling of entitlement and selfishness that I see nowadays. I think Bush definitely encouraged that with his borrowing to pay for two wars and when asked what Americans could do to help, he told them go spend more money. What a jerk.

We need real patriots to lead this country to regain our standing, but it's going to take 20 years to repair the damage Bush and the Republicans have done in the last 8 years.

Imagine if we funded the Peace Corps with half of what we blow on the Pentagon. We'd be LOVED worldwide.
