Sounds like a good problem to have. Too bad McCain isn't turning out the same sorts of crowds. Gotta give it to you for trying hard to put an evil spin on this one, though. You're nothing if not inventive!
But the problem here is that he's forcing his ideals on other people. So imagine if 80,000 unemployed wanted tickets. They would have an obvious advantage over those who have to work.

It's almost as if, like one person said paraphrased, Obama doesn't realize that the working class has to class, they have families and may not be able to even spare the 6 hours but still want to go to the stadium and support him.

To put conditions on things you have to do if you wish to catch a glimpse of him in person is a bit cocky.

You know, Cuba will dictate conditions also if you wish to remain alive ie: they tell you what you must do for your career/life. Do we really want someone who tries to enforce their ideals, whether good or bad (and I think contributing 6 hours of community service would be beneficial to most people), onto us as similarly communist nations force their decisions onto it's residents? I know the comparison is extreme but it is meant to be extreme.

There are similarities to his thought process and what I stated about Cuba. Though it is seemingly innocent on the surface and it appears he just has good intentions... it is those good intentions that are dangerous. America is about free will and oppurtunity. It's not about doing what someone DICTATES you to do :thumbsup:
