Obama's private army? (Could 'our' president feel threatened?)

Who knew that Obamacare provides for a “Regular Corps,” and a “Ready-Reserve Corps,” of officers and individuals who are appointed by the President? Commissioned officers are subject to active duty at the call of the Surgeon General. The new law provides $17.5 million in each of the first four years to recruit and train these reserves.

During his campaign, Obama said “We cannot continue to rely only on our military…we’ve got to have a civilian security force just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded. We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives we’ve set.” Beginning of Obama’s civilian security force

Section 5210 of the Patient’s Protection and Affordable Care Act (a.k.a. Obamacare) may be the beginning of Obama’s civilian security force. This section amends Section 203 of the U.S. Public Health Service Act. Why it was included in the massive health care bill is a question in search of meaningful answers. Judge Andrew Napolitano from FOX News has a few questions of his own.

The new law says “The purpose of the Ready Reserve Corps is to fulfill the need to have additional Commissioned Corps personnel available on short notice (similar to the uniformed service’s reserve program) to assist regular Commissioned Corps personnel to meet both routine public health and emergency response missions.”

The law requires the Ready Reserve to participate in “routine training” to meet the general and specific needs of the Commissioned Corps. The Ready Reserve “shall” be ready for involuntary calls to active duty. The Ready Reserve must be prepared to respond to orders from the President to go anywhere in the country, or anywhere outside the country. Posse Comitatus Act

Obama promised that when he was elected, he would “fundamentally transform America.” Perhaps voters naïvely thought that he meant ending corruption, back-room deals, partisan bickering, and the arrogance that seems to infect Washington politicians. It is clear now that what he meant was a transformation from a democratic Republic to a Marxist autocracy. ...he brought his Chicago hit squad to Washington to twist arms and pull fingernails, when necessary, to gain control over his domain.

More or less, a sanctioned militia.

[thethirddegree]

Obama needs to be impeached for abuse of power.

[IbJensen]

Well, it certainly one be a Christian militia.

The purpose of the Ready Reserve Corps is to fulfill the need to have additional Commissioned Corps personnel available on short notice (similar to the uniformed service’s reserve program) to assist regular Commissioned Corps personnel to meet both routine public health and emergency response missions.”

It has been pointed out in other threads on this subject that the word "Corps" refers to healthcare workers and that the word "emergency" is again a reference to healthcare needs. I contend that it means whatever Obama decides it means.

"...personnel to meet both routine public health and emergency response missions.”

[IbJensen]

I contend that it means whatever Obama decides it means.

In Obamaspeak it comes out 'corpse.' And that's what many of us will be when his goons get their hands on us!

[Da Coyote]

I am coming to the conclusion that sooner or later, the military will direct itself against the loon.

No other choice, really.

Here is my prediction:

When the unemployment numbers fail to drop, the malcontents and low lifes who were expecting their hand out but didn’t get it, will be encouraged to join the ‘Ready Reserve Corps’, and get three hots and a cot, weapons and training on how to ‘redistribute’ the wealth from those greedy ‘haves’ to the needy ‘have nots’, and if they won’t part with their possessions willingly, the local ‘Ready Reserve’ will enforce the ‘redistribution order’.

This is the creation of 0bama’s brown shirts who will serve him just as the SA did Hitler.

Believe it.

Looks like a budget savings target to me ...

And what's going to stop him, an oath"?

This man has brought evil to a new level.

The Kenyan is raising an army. Any patriotic American should feel free to fire upon an army of occupation. We just need to learn how to recognize the uniforms of such an army.

[Anti-Bubba182]

Probably he will staff it with ACORN, SEIU and EX CON GOONS.

[homegroan]

Black Panthers already have their foot in the door-legally.

[nolongerademocrat]

I agree. Bill Clinton is a saint compared to this guy.

[redgolum]

You didn’t think the health care bill was just about health care did you?

Little gems like this are what ends countries.

[sport]

You can bet the farm that they will make up the cadre.

[skimbell]

"...Any patriotic American should feel free to fire upon an army of occupation..."

That's how it would happen. No way the whole of American would put up with that kind of chit.

0 will never be able to staff a continental occupation army. He might get his thugs to control the larger cities but they wont do too well in fly-over country.

I do believe it. In fact you have worried me more by pointing out the likely pool from which Obama will pick his "soldiers" Thanks a lot :(
