~.: "Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do your for your country." Sorry, that's a bunch of BS. I'm more than will to support my president, but I will not serve him. He works for me. My tax dollars go to his paycheck. I will do more than my share for my country- the government is another matter entirely. This was a

The quote isn't bullshit. It's a very good quote. But it's a two way street in my mind. My country insures that I have certain rights and liberties, but I also have to make sure my country remains that way. We serve each other.

Now serving Obama? That's not how our country works. A President ISN'T a King or Emperor or Dictator. He represents our interests and our nation. He doesn't tell us what to do - we tell him, and he is supposed to use his best judgment and make it happen, along with the men and women who represent state interests in Congress, and the Supreme Court to make sure it is just and fair and not in violation of our constitution. We don't SERVE him, not even if we work for the government or enlist.

I didn't finish watching the video because it was boring to me and I get tired of people saying how they'll help by doing this or that - all stuff I already know how to do guys - but it sounds like it might have been poor word choice. Unless of course the country really has gone ignorant and thinks the Presidency is something it's not.

But I would like to make America a better place. I'm getting tired of people from other countries telling me my nation is stupid and the source of all the world's problems.

I would love to make my country a better place. I don't need a video to encourage me to do what I'm already doing to the best of my ability.

And you're right, the quote isn't crap, but in the context it was being quoted at me it was. ^^;
