On inauguration eve, Obama stresses service

we must be wise _we must stop immigration--Obama talks as though every citizen on earth can live in the USA. Facts --so far he has been idealistic--and hasnt helped poor people to supper with him

Eventually, every race is going to want their favorite people to have a day. And, who can blame them? Pretty soon, business will not be able to afford all of these imposed holidays. Why don't we do what we've done to the Christmas holiday? More specifically, we can stuff all of favorite people into one single day and call it- Diversity Day...or something.

After all, King could not have done what we're told he did, unless other great people set the table for him. Martin Luther made Martin Luther King possible. Pretty soon, we're going to run out of days!

In the same way we now have a Holiday Party, we can have a Diversity Party. Then, no one is left out; our calendars are not full.

Is it me or does anyone else out there resent Obama and cronies telling Americans to get out there and volunteer likes a new trendy concept.? I have volunteered for nonprofit and community groups my entire life. I have done it quietly because it I believe in it, not as a publicity stunt. So the Obamas will volunteer in a soup kitchen for a day for a photo op. How special. They're multimillionaires with "staff" who take care of the cooking, cleaning and drudgery of day to day life. They should have been volunteering all along.

A man who sat in an anti American, anti White church for 20 years is going to preach to me? Save it Barry!

His plan of voluntary service just might work!

My service will be to hold Obama's feet to the fire to ensure that he fulfills his promises to the LGBT community. The blackout of Bishop Robinson in the television coverage of "We Are One" was very disappointing.

Did he thank our troops who provide a service to every American every day? Just curious.

Wow, public service, what a revoluntionary idea!!

Will he be like Deval Patrick & PAY his volunteers????

Personal accountability for ones own well being and success begins in only 1,460 days.
Have they started this gentleman’s bust on Mt. Rushmore yet? He speaks a good game but like the rest, is surrounded by corruption. The only difference is that people are willing to turn a blind eye to him as they would never do to others of the same qualifications.

Another deep and insightful (LOL) puff piece from the left-wing Globe. Blog quickly. If Obumma gets too many negatives, the Globe will take down the Blog. It is rare the Globe allows any blogging for fear the curtain might be pulled back on the Media Oz that is Obama.

Geez... everyone is so negative... relax! Obama has failed in everyone's eyes already, and he hasn't even been in office! History will show that he turned this country around in the face of historic economic troubles... and then you'll all look like idiots.

And here i was thinking that community service was about personally wanting to serve your community. Has he set a national bedtime yet?

"Change"..... Could somebody please explain to me how this man managed to win an election by making a complately empty "promise"?

He is a Junior senator from the ONLY state more corrupt than Massachusetts, has no experience AT ALL, and won an election because of fickle details. People claim that he was a "good speaker" and he was able to "connect well with the people"... Hitler had those qualities. Hitler also promised "change"... (Please note that I am not comparing Obama to Hitler, simply likening Obama supporters to Hitler supporters in the 30's/40's). This man does not deserve to be president.

Th

I pray that Mr. Obama can lead this country with wisdom and bipartisanship. But quite frankly, this man scares me. He's a socialist no matter how you toss the coin. And just as a side note here, I wonder how much of his multi millions he's spreading to his fellow man.

What an elitist poser. Using the same soldiers he did everything but spit on during the campaign as a backdrop for his coming Presidency. I know you liberal tarts at the Globe will not post this, but it needs to be written anyway.

Thank you President Obama and Michelle. The "me" generation is over. From your early youth, you have demonstrated to all of us a life of service, of giving back to community. You are an inspiration to our Nation, young and old.

I never thought I would live long enough to see this day.

Thank you for honoring Martin Luther King, Jr's great contribution to our country. He is one of our Nation's true patriots.

To swimmer kennedy, do you think you may actually be expressing white privilege uncertainty, and anxiety about our fading racist institutions with resentfulness and anger? We all (our Nation's people), no matter what color or gender preference have suffered from these overt and subtle practices from our early beginnings.

I assume you were referring to Rev Wright's impassioned sermon, but I'm sure you never heard it in its entirety or thoroughly read the passages and stories from the Judaic/Christian Text (Bible) he was referring to when warning his
Congregation of the consequences that have been brought by God upon others that could also fall upon our American Empire because of its follies.
I do not think Pastor Wright is either anti American or is a Shepard of an anti white church. I believe he cares and cares deeply.
