Obama, Bush Hold Forum at Texas A&M

President Obama and former President George H.W. Bush will visit Texas A&M University to tout community service.

Obama came to the campus Friday after being invited by Bush to speak at a presidential forum on community service as part of his "Points of Light Institute Forum".

The event also honors the 20th anniversary of Bush's "thousand points of light" volunteer service movement he first mentioned in his 1989 inaugural address. The program also builds on Obama's "United We Serve" call to all Americans.

University officials set aside an area a block away in a park for conservative groups who were protesting Obama's visit to the campus. Most of the protesters aren't interested in what the President has to say about community service, there are here to voice their opposition to his plans for things like healthcare reform.  Bush, however, says Obama's visit is not about politics, but "about the importance of service to our communities and our country."

There were a few shouting matches at the protest area between those who are opposed to the President and those who support him, but nothing more than verbal disagreements.
