Not only is the statement about "those willing to work" specious, but it seems to me that a president who plans a program that would have middle and high school students doing 50 hours of community service a year is a president who's interested in teaching students the responsibility of earning their way and not having it handed to them. His plan flies in the face of this couple’s opinion.
I realize that newspapers limit letters to the editor to a specific number of words. This might be the reason why Obama opponents never seem to find enough space for facts. However, like the couple from Boise, many seem to find enough space for poorly veiled racism.
