Claudio. It seems that, based on so few fleshed out details we have here from both Obama and Buckley, that Obama is making his program conditional on a govt bureacracy, in this case education, to force “100 percent of its students” to do state controlled service programs. No doubt, given today’s constituencies in the teachers unions, inevitably for leftist causes.

Buckley seems in that interview to imply that his program would be volunteer only, and have no strings attached to federal funding.

I think they are both bad ideas, ripe for misuse. Obama’s from the outset, already raising flags.
