Main Points made by Rahm Emanuel in his book which Obama is now trying to push into policy. Makes you wonder who is running the show.
1. Page 160 New Domestic Defense Division
Rahm: It should include top security talent from the CIA, the FBI, and the ranks of state and local law enforcement.
Obama: Obamas new task force: The Team would be drawn from those with relevant experience probably from agencies such as the FBI, CIA, and the Pentagon

2. Page 58 Citizen service:
Rahm: Every citizen needs to understand and accept the essence of the American bargain: Each of us has to do his or her part. While the rights of citizenship are explicit in our constitution, the implicit responsibilities are every bit as crucial. All Americans between ages of 18-25 will be asked to serve their country by going through 3 months of basic training, civil defense preparation, and community service.
Obama: http://change.gov/americaserves/ Obama and Biden will call on citizens of all ages to serve.
HR 1388 Serve America Act See below for more information on HR1388
http://www.govtrack.us/congress/bill.xpd?bill=h111-1388
The nation will enlist them for 3 months of civilian service. Theyll be asked to report for basic civil defense training in their state or community..
Obama: We cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that weve set. Weve got to have a civilian national security force thats just as powerful, just as strong, just as well funded.
http://www.americanthinker.com/2008/07/obamas_civilian_national_secur.html
Obama will call on citizens of all ages to serve America, by developing a plan to require 50 hours of community service in middle school and high school and 100 hours of community service in college every year.

4. Page 114-115 Single Payer Health Care

Ezekiel Emanuel principle a voucher system for universal health care. A single payer system.
Obama: HR 3200
5. Page 166/page 57. Push Hybrids
Rahm America needs to usher in the Hybrid Economy, a new era of energy efficiency and innovation that can save the auto industry and the planet at the same time. We need a sweeping campaign to develop new energy technologies embracing a technology that already exists - the plug in hybrid.
Obama: Cash for Clunkers, say any more?
6. Page 105 - Electronic Medical records.
Rahm: wants electronic medical records - quality of outcomes, not just the number of procedures.
Obama: To improve the quality of our health care while lowing its cost, we will make the immediate investments necessary to ensure that, within five years, all of Americas medical records are computerized.

8. Page 137 - Complicated tax code
Rahm tax code that is complicated, burdensome, and completely at odds with their values .Under our Plan, taxpayers will have to complete only a simple, one page 1040. We want Americans to spend April at Little League games not wasting time filling out tax forms.
Obama I want every American to know that we will rewrite the tax code .and we will make it quicker and easier ., not a date that is approached with dread.

Feel free to add to the list.
Sorry folks - it’s a lot of information - I don’t know HTML code to help break it up. Hopefully you can read through it without getting a headache.
Obama’s new tax code: You make money, we confiscate it.
That’s about it - who needs complicated deductions.
*sigh* It’s gonna be a long four years...
> Obamas new tax code: You make money, we confiscate it.<
I thought it was “worship Obama or off to the gulag for you”
Fascism, plain and as horrible as ever.
Stick it up your diaper, Rahm!
The right must be thorough in defeating the left this time. We must not stop when these people cry Uncle—they must be marginalized and kept that way for all time.
They cry victim early and often so remember: A thorough, resounding, and perpetual defeat.
We should work our butts off to teach our children what the state cannot ever teach them: individual freedom above government meddling and control—freedom first!
This is far from over.
Keep up the fight!
“Know thine enemy.”
Reminds me of this oldie but goodie...
Rahm Emanuel needs to receive an offer he can’t refuse.
Their plans are becoming more clear to the general public every day. It may be a slow process, but reality is starting to set in.
Hey Rahm, we forgot the ballet!!!
Each male over the age of 18 would be required to take of up to two weeks of the ballet training to ensure the battle readiness!
Rahm's formulation of the American bargain? "Each of us has to do his or her part." That little nancy doesn't know the real American bargain: that the sacred task passed onto all generations of Americans is to safeguard Liberty. Not to be slaves to overly-ambitious politicians.

Rahm > haRm
I thought that was an interesting quote too. It certainly tells much of community responsibility/socialism. The book was hard to read through. It was full of Bush and Republican party bashing.
Thanks for the links RC.
Obama will call on citizens of all ages to serve America, by developing a plan to require 50 hours of community service in middle school and high school and 100 hours of community service in college every year. http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=80829
==============================================
NOTE Pres Obama campaigned on installing a Civilian Security Force on US soil. Rham Emanuel has been trained to organize a civilian security force as a volunteer for Sarelthe three-week Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) training program to train civilians.
Dual citizen Rahm Emanuel surely got the top White House job as Obamas COS based on his Israeli training on how to organize a Civilian Security Force. Looking at ACORNs activities, and the BILLIONS Obama has given them, ACORN is primed for (and is already acting as) a Civilian Security Force.
BACKSTORY Circa 1991 Rahm Emmanuel volunteered in a program for civilian service in the IDF, and worked on brake components for APCs and tanks in an IDF motor pool. He is lacking part of a finger and for many years went around claiming that hed lost it in actions against the enemy in a tank.
Now if Rahm fought in the military of foreign government, that would negate his American citizenship (US citizens forfeit their citizenship when they serve in the military of a foreign government).
BACKSTORY Rahm volunteered for Sarela three-week Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) training program (like US boot camp) where civilians are trained to assist the Israeli military. Civilians like Rahm lived on an IDF military base to get the proper training. A civilian volunteer, Rahm assisted the IDF during the 1991 Gulf War, repairing truck brakes in one of Israels northern bases.
Rahm's father was an Israeli who was part of the underground resistance movement under the British Mandate. FRIGHTENING STATEMENT Obama has stated that Rahm tells him "everything he needs to know about Israel."
==============================
Rahm Emanuel today is a dual Israeli-American citizen. It is not clear whether a dual citizen is permitted to serve in a high level US govt job that makes policy decisions for Americans.
Excellent information, Liz.
Rahm’s position on Israel is concerning, and disturbing considering he is a dual citizen. Obama gets all his information concerning Israel from Rahm? wow.
