It's pretty typical of Obama's use of the language. As near as I can tell, what Obama really means when he says "mandatory volunteer work" is "optional, well-paid work". College students would be encouraged to volunteer 100 hours per year and in exchange they'd get a $4000 tax credit.-Barack Obama last week talking about his new mandatory voluteer programs.
Can someone please explain 'mandatory volunteer'? To me this says 'you have to do it and it better be for free'
