There is a raging storm brewing over the ever changing content of the America Serves section Obama’s president elect website http://change.gov/. The short version of the story is that at the first whiff of outrage to Obama’s required service programs web pages have been changed quicker than the sheets at the Emperors Club. The programs have been described from being called a draft to slavery.

This is how he always deals with unpleasantness. He scrubs it from his site. I'm sure he will do what he wants irregardless of the outcry. He is our fearless leader now.

The trillion dollar question: Did the Affirmative Action President fold a weak hand so he can bet his chips on better cards, or did he switch to stealth mode? There’s no way to guess, since The One doesn’t have a track record. He has no accomplishments in his career, so we can’t go by how he did things in his murky and unexplored past.

RE: RE’s Book: The Plan: In this video, Rahm discusses a required 3 month mandatory/required training for ages 18-25. It sounds very similar and ties in with BO’s idea of Civilian National Security Force.

Go to time 5:22 to start listening

Later in the video, he discusses removing the current 5 tax breaks for college and replacing them with one tax break.

Lincoln abolished slavery
Obama reinstitutes it.

The only thing that surprises me about this, is the appearance that Obama is backing down, or at least back tracking, on all his mandatory Service Corps schemes.

I really thought he was more determined than that. Maybe this means he is stoppable in his Socialist plans.

Better to overestimate your enemy, than to underestimate him. Keep the pressure on. Let the politicians know how you feel about these things. As they used to say on TV; keep those cards and letters coming in.

Change.gov may be a barometer of the truth of Jerrold Nadler’s comment that Obama “lacks political courage.”

Has this gotten any play in the MSM? (TV news, Major Mags/Papers)

His MO is to switch to stealth mode. When his Liberal positions were outed during the campaign the person asking the question was slammed backward.

"3 month mandatory/required training for ages 18-25"

The re-education camps begin.

I never saw any determination in O’s character.

He is a charlatan and an empty suit who is being used by his far more intelligent handlers and pushed along by his very ambitious wife.

When someone disagrees, he is tossed off the plane. WHen he is not worshipped properly, the culprit will never get another interview.

When someone casts a pall on the O wonderfulness, he or she is thrown under the bus.

O’s lack of any real life experience has not equipped him to deal with any form of dissention, and up until now, his keepers have been able to keep all unpleasantness from his sight.

That will end soon.
