So you say, but if you read the following direct quotes of Obama, your interpretation presumes more than is actually said. I think that I am (post # 271) much closer to what he actually is saying. Either way, Obama is not presidential material.
Obama said he would boost the size of the active military, but that the nation's future depends on more than just additional soldiers.
" It also depends on the teacher in East L.A., or the nurse in Appalachia, the after-school working in New Orleans, the Peace Corps volunteer in Africa, the Foreign Service officer in Indonesia," he said.
Obama reflected on how the presidencies of Franklin D. Roosevelt and John F. Kennedy both made public service hallmarks of their administration and how the nation was the better for such efforts.
" We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives we've set," he said. "We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well funded."
Obama called for greater integration with schools, so that young Americans are better prepared to be active citizens. He said he would make federal assistance conditional on school districts establishing service programs and set the goal of 50 hours of service a year for middle and high school students.
mmmmmm,,,,So,,,,Does that mean you like O’Bammy ???
You are correct. It does not seem like this civilian security force would be armed. It would be like a group of experts in their field being made available to restore a city hit by a terror attack....restored with liberal controls.
But there is nothing to stop such a group from being expanded by the next administration to become armed.
This is exactly how communism took over Hungary, Czechoslovakia, etc. Slow, incremental changes followed by a single, violent takeover where the ‘useful idiots’ like Obama would be executed.
Freepers are understanding the long-term rammifications of Obama’s plan. I doubt he would be able to take this country over. Instead, he will put the building blocks in place that can be used by the next, more liberal administration.
