Now that it's a day later, I think I may have ranted a bit. There were a lot of really good causes there, anywhere from saving electricity to volunteering, but I really find a problem with giving one man, especially the president, godlike status. Kennedy's famous quote told us to ask what we could do for our country, not what our country could do for us (or even our president). This whole thing tries to mimic that spirit, but in the end, it seems it's only to build up the status of Mr. Obama, not to help the nation. Thanks, Bob.

Then I heard the last 30 seconds and your concerns became clear. The President represents the Country, not the other way around. My initial response was to question your concern.
