Obama responds to repug insults

This Week: Obama responds to GOP community organizer insults

“It’s curious to me that they would mock that, when I, at least, think that that’s exactly what young people should be doing.“I worked with churches, who were dealing with steel plants that had closed in their neighborhoods, to set up job training programs for the unemployed and after-school programs for youth, and to try to deal with asbestos in homes with poor people — community service work — which John McCain has been talking about, putting country first and extolling the virtues of national service. I would think that’s what we want all our young people to do. I would think that that’s an area where Democrats and Republicans would agree.”
