The Marxist "label" is done....it's over. There's not much chance the Repubs will be continuing using that false term much longer. It held no water.....as the holes in the accusation carried with it,no substance.
It is not a "Label".
Here is a citation to back up the Marxist/Socialist/communist views of YOUR next President.
as report by the CHICAGO TRIBUNE July 2, 2008 and also the CONGRESSIONAL QUARTERLY.
Obama promised to increase AmeriCorps slots from 75,000 to 250,000 and pledged to double the size of the Peace Corps by 2011.
"We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set," he said Wednesday. "We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well funded."
He said he would make federal assistance conditional on school districts establishing service programs and set the goal of 50 hours of service a year for middle and high school students.
For college students, Obama would set the goal at 100 hours of service a year and create a $4,000 annual tax credit for college students that would be tied to that level of service.
Obama said he realizes there will be skeptics, but stressed that greater public service will make the nation safer.
"Our destiny as Americans is tied up with one another," he said. "If we are less respected in the world, then you will be less safe."
