BUSTED! -- OBAMA'S CHANGE.GOV SWITCHES MARXIST YOUTH CORPS FROM A REQUIREMENT TO A "GOAL"

Score one for the bloggers! The conservative blogosphere has brought change you can believe in.

We reported on this yesterday when Obama's presidential transition website had stated it was Obama's plan create a Marxist like youth corps and require America's youth to serve. Here's a screenshot of the site yesterday:

Obama will call on citizens of all ages to serve America, by developing a plan to require 50 hours of community service in middle school and high school and 100 hours of community service in college every year.

Conservative bloggers jumped all over this youth corps requirement. And in less than 24 hours, Obama has changed his stance. The site now looks like this:

Obama will call on citizens of all ages to serve America, by setting a goal that all middle school and high school students do 50 hours of community service a year and by developing a plan so that all college students who conduct 100 hours of community service receive a universal and fully refundable tax credit ensuring that the first $4,000 of their college education is completely free.

One could look at this change in two ways. On one hand, you could say that Obama is showing good judgment by not implementing a plan that is clearly unconstitutional and that the reason it was changed is because that realization was made. On the other hand, you could say that Obama will try and get away with anything he can and that the only reason it was changed is because it was made public. I have only one thing to say about that. Vigilance!
