"Change": Obama taps Clinton staffer for Chief of Staff

[ChumpDumper]

I get a good feeling when board Republicans panic over things like this.

It's amazing how many people in government used to work for Fannie/Freddie

"Change"

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Wouldn't that be a positive for you internets tough guys?

wouldn't it be a negative for the 13th Amendment?

And where is Dan, a couple of years ago him and boutons were crying on this board that Bush and Cheney were going to ins ute a draft for all young folks.

Now Obama and Emanuel are talking about compulsory service and they're worshiping the development.

From what I've read, it's far from compulsory.

And isn't it funny that the sponsor was a democrat, I think it was Sh er, and all the co-sponsors were democrat. Not a single republican backed the draft bill!

I already saw a retort that "It wouldn't be mandatory." Then why is this in the earlier quote:

Emanuel and co-author Bruce Reed insist "this is not a draft," but go on to write of young men and women, "the nation will enlist them for three months of civilian service." They also warn, "[s]ome Republicans will squeal about individual freedom," ruling out any likelihood that they would let people opt out of universal citizen service.

And they correctly say the republicans will see it as an infringement of freedom. If not a draft, what is it when they acknowledge freedoms are an issue?
