They read this forum and adjust their content to any exposure we see as damning.

Guys, I have confirmed the Obama camp has changed the text.

This is the Google cache

http://64.233.169.104/search?q=cache:f_Q-RMW-DJoJ:www.change.gov/americaserves/+obama+service&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=10&gl=us&client=firefox-a

Just 7 hours ago, it said this:

“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.”

Way watered down now compared to that.

This PDF file also has this quote:

http://www.barackobama.com/pdf/NationalServicePlanFactSheet.pdf

“In November, Barack Obama laid out a comprehensive
plan to provide all Americans with a world-class education and give our schools a substantial infusion of funds
to support teachers and principals and improve student learning. That plan conditions that assistance on school
districts developing programs to engage students in service opportunities. Obama and Biden believe that middle
and high school students should be expected to engage in community service for 50 hours annually during the
school year or summer months. They will develop national guidelines for service-learning and community
service programs, and will give schools better tools both to develop successful programs and to document the
experience of students at all levels.”

he plans on tying this to funding given to schools and developing NATIONAL guidelines on how to do it.....

They may be getting unfavorable responses in comments to the site. That means they’ll just try to hide their true agenda better.
