Obama's not doing that, and has never indicated he would.

Sounds like someone on the board is a prophet. No longer is it a purely hypothetical argument, it's a platform he's using to buy your votes.
$4,000 worth of yearly tuition in exchange for community service

So ... did you wash your foot before sticking it in your mouth?
EDIT: let me emphasize the part where he says "Every student, every year". That means not the kids that do well in school and maintain a high GPA or do exceptional things in their time spent in school. Every student means the ones who slid by with a 1.8 GPA are getting $4,000/year to attend college. These are the same kids that drop out after a semester or two ... monumental waste of money. This is what happens when democrats throw money at a problem instead of using logic to fix things.
Big government = Big problems
