Economy Title: First Wookie wants businesses to waste employees time mentoring youth (CNSNews.com) – First lady Michelle Obama on Tuesday said she was “thrilled” to announce a new program that asks U.S. businesses to allow employees to spend part of the work day volunteering with young people. The program will be run by the federal agency tasked with overseeing volunteerism in the United States. “And that’s why today, I am thrilled to announce that the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS) has teamed up with several major companies to establish a Corporate Mentoring Challenge,” Obama said at a summit held by CNCS and the National Mentoring Partnership MENTOR at the Library of Congress. “This is a program calling on businesses of all sizes to allow their employees to mentor for short periods during the work day, giving kids positive role models and offering employees a way to give back,” Obama said. “And they’ve already received new commitments from leading companies who have agreed to harness their resources and help us make a difference on a very large scale. “We want to do things big,” Obama said, but did not spell out details about the challenge. The CNCS is the federal agency that oversees volunteer programs such as AmeriCorps, Senior Corps, and the United We Stand call to service introduced by President Barack Obama by video in June 2009. "The challenges we face are unprecedented in their size and scope, and we cannot rely on quick fixes or easy answers to put us on the road to recovery," Obama said in the video message. "In this new century, we need to a build a new foundation for economic growth in America. “My Administration has already begun this work with dramatic new investments in education, health care and clean energy – investments that will create new jobs and lay the foundation for lasting prosperity. But we cannot do this alone here in Washington. Economic recovery is as much about what you're doing in your communities as what we're doing in Washington – and it’s going to take all of us, working together,” Obama said. The budget for CNCS has grown from 927.1 million in 2005 to $1,149,721,000 in 2010. Obama requested a budget of $1,415,586,000 for 2011, but the Senate reduced the amount to $1,365,586,000. The first lady said that many U.S. companies are already working with local schools, and she hopes others will follow suit. “I want to encourage businesses across the country to follow this example in the months and years ahead,” Mrs. Obama said. “There is so much, so much good that we can all do here.” Other members of the Obama administration participating in the Mentoring summit included Attorney General Eric Holder, Education Secretary Arne Duncan and Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius.

#2. To: Happy Quanzaa, *Crime and Corruption*, *The Two Parties ARE the Same*, *Hypocrisy and Hypocrites*, *Economic News*, *Politics and Politicians* (#0) The program will be run by the federal agency tasked with overseeing volunteerism in the United States. Gee,big surprise! A new bureaucracy will be created and staffed by the children and relatives of Dim politicians. The senior staff positions will all be filled by out of office Dims,and ALL the funding will come from the US Treasury. “And that’s why today, I am thrilled to announce that the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS) has teamed up with several major companies to establish a Corporate Mentoring Challenge,” Obama said at a summit held by CNCS and the National Mentoring Partnership MENTOR at the Library of Congress. Yup,and every one of those Corporations are major Dim contributors,and THEY WILL BE GETTING PAID TO HIRE THEIR RELATIVES AND FRIENDS. Win/win for them and the DNC. Lose/lose for the US Treasury and the US Taxpayer,who will be paying these billionaires to do what they WOULD have done on their own dime anyway. Which will without a doubt lead to corporations that lean right signing up for this program,also. Corporations may be artificial citizens,but there is nothing artificial about their being whores at heart. They exist to make profits. That's the earth,the moon,and the stars to them. “And they’ve already received new commitments from leading companies who have agreed to harness their resources and help us make a difference on a very large scale. I don't doubt that for a instant. Other than the part where it was her idea. The First Wookie had this dropped in her lap. No way in hell that dummy came up with this on her own. She should go back to doing what she does best,growing nuclear-powered veggies to feed to children. “My Administration" "MY Administration"???? Shades of the "co-presidency" of the Clintons! ......has already begun this work with dramatic new investments in education, health care and clean energy – investments that will create new jobs and lay the foundation for lasting prosperity. ROFLMAO! What a howler! This whole thing is going to targeted towards corporations and minorities. The people at the top will all be political insiders snatching onto THEIR version of affirmative action,and all the people at the bottom of the food chain will be non-white. The VERY things that have done nothing but destroy our country since the 60's. Expecting Tan Klan members like the Wookie and Urkel to hire whites is like expecting David Duke to hire Jews and blacks. Being at a higher level of opportunity than Duke,da pres and da First Beard will have no political choice but to hire a few whites in management positions,but most of them will be Jewish or other guilt-ridden whites that "recognize the superiority of the black man",or so filled with self-hate and guilt over the bogus history of slavery they are willing to prostitute their own daughters to "make things right". I wouldn't doubt that Phil Donahue and his wife haven't already been put on the payroll. “This is a program calling on businesses of all sizes to allow their employees to mentor for short periods during the work day, giving kids positive role models and offering employees a way to give back,” Obama said. “And they’ve already received new commitments from leading companies who have agreed to harness their resources and help us make a difference on a very large scale. Just another Dim jobs program for insiders that gives local politicians more "walking around money" to spread around to buy more votes. All paid for by the US Treasury and the US taxpayer,of course. "I adore John McCain, support him 100 percent and will do everything I can to support his reelection. As everyone knows, I was honored and proud to run with him. And Todd and I were with him in D.C. just a week ago." (Sarah Palin,Dec 2009) ************************************ DID Palin say or write these things or not? (Me) I don't know or F ing care.
