Obama Speaks on National Service and Signs Bill

Read more about the bill here. Bill Clinton was there for the signing, which took place at the SEED school in DC. He founded AmeriCorps. Michelle ran an AmeriCorps program in Chicago, Obama said. Rosalyn Carter, Joe and Jill Biden and Colin Powell and his wife and others were in attendance. Obama spoke about starfish and his plan to plant trees today. Obama calls Ted Kennedy "one of the finest leaders we've ever had." Indeed.
