"Senator Barack Obama's appearance with Oprah Winfrey at
Obama's campaign has given away all the free tickets for the 10,000-seat arena, Jen Psaki, campaign spokeswoman, said yesterday.
But that's nothing compared with the crowd expected in Columbia, S.C., for a Obama-Winfrey rally Sunday morning. Yesterday, the Obama campaign announced it had moved the event from Colonial Center, which Psaki said seats about 18,000, to Williams-Brice Stadium at the University of South Carolina, which has a capacity of more than 80,000.
Winfrey and Obama plan to begin their Iowa tour Saturday."
And, you, sir, are NO JACK KENNEDY!
"Obama invokes JFK, issues a 'call to serve'"
Barack Obama paid homage yesterday to one of his political heroes, John F. Kennedy, in a major policy speech of the primary campaign.
Addressing students at Cornell College in Mount Vernon, Iowa, Obama issued a "call to serve." He proposed doubling the size of the Peace Corps from 7,800 volunteers to 16,000 by its 50th anniversary in 2011; expanding the size and mission of the AmeriCorps program; engaging retirees in service and volunteer programs; and creating a national online network - modeled on Craigslist - that would connect volunteers to potential service opportunities.
"To restore America's standing, I will call on our greatest resource - not our bombs, guns, or dollars; I will call upon our people," he said.
You're in the Army now, kids!
Rival John Edwards has created a program called One Corps that links campaign organizing with service projects, and Chris Dodd has unveiled a national service program that includes an expansion of the Peace Corps and AmeriCorps."
Yeah, ALL the WAR CANDIDATES want a DRAFT!
Cast that vote carefully, moms and kids!
Maybe you ought to just vote for Ron Paul instead!
He isn't going to draft your sons and daughters, Oprah viewers!
