Obama will encourage retiring Americans to serve by improving programs available for individuals over age 55, while at the same time promoting youth programs such as Youth Build and Head Start.

Most retired folks work small part time jobs anyway and or volunteer to stay busy. People who have worked hard all their life have a hard time staying all day watching tv.... but i dont really understand that phrase about the older people either..lol
