surprisingly i don't dislike this choice made by obama.
anyway i was looking around the internet on this guy and ran across this:

rahm emanuel[/u] ]
It's time for a real Patriot Act that brings out the patriot in all of us. We propose universal civilian service for every young American. Under this plan, All Americans between the ages of eighteen and twenty-five will be asked to serve their country by going through three months of basic training, civil defense preparation and community service. ...
Here's how it would work. Young people will know that between the ages of eighteen and twenty-five, the nation will enlist them for three months of civilian service. They'll be asked to report for three months of basic civil defense training in their state or community, where they will learn what to do in the event of biochemical, nuclear or conventional attack; how to assist others in an evacuation; how to respond when a levee breaks or we're hit by a natural disaster. These young people will be available to address their communities' most pressing needs.
remember obama has talked about all citizens doing their part in their communities. i don't know if they will push for this or not, but just wanted to know what ya'll think of this.
plus feel free to add more to this thread about rahm since i titled it after him.
