What? Barack Obama Proposes Formation Of Civilian Army Equal In Size To U.S. Military!
Barack Obama
A video that the MSM won’t show you. In fact the Obama campaign doesn’t have it on their website and no transcript can be found for this speech he made in Colorado Springs on July 2, 2008.
Peculiar…
Unfortunately for the Obama campaign the full speech can be had here on YouTube.
Barack said:
We cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives we’ve set. We’ve got to have a civilian national security force that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded.
So if anyone can make one of Obama’s Town Hall meetings (if he ever has one) they could ask the Messiah about that remark. Bet that he skirts the issue or just flip flops.

Mr. Obama does not seem to know what he’s talking about at times. This is one of these times. Perhaps he does not know what the word “army” means or entails.

Well, your link to the full speech isn’t real, nice try though.
Out of context this sounds pretty bad, but I’m sure thats why you didn’t post the whole thing.

ChaOS: fixed the link. Enjoy the Messiah’s full speech.

Is he suggesting a political enforcement arm. What his scarily brings to fore if my mind si images of Brownshirts or a Presidential Praetorian Guard.
I cannot beleive that I am witnessing this horror show going on before my eyes. I knew there aws a reason I was uncomfortable when they substituted History with Social Studies in our schools. Our fool youth do not recognize the danger they are buying into.
By any means necessary this man must be stopped!

Thank you for a great post! Link to whole speech works just fine.

While I do not like the man, will not vote for him, and this is not a defense of him, but what he means is basically a US “soft-power” force that the US had basically during the Cold War. This goes beyond diplomacy and diplomats. As a former DoD employee, talk of this within the community was positive and was actively being sought.
Unfortunately, UNFORTUNATELY, this is one point where I have to agree with the man. Does that make him worthy to lead? Absolutely not.

Well this outfit can become the global warming police. Speaking out against AGW? They can come and warn you. Haven’t paid your carbon taxes or cap and trade fees? They can collect. Work for an oil company? They can come and arrest you.

How is this a bad thing? Or a gaffe? This would be a wonderful development for US foreign policy, and would undoubtedly help the war on terror.
Just because it was proposed by Obama does not mean it’s a bad thing - McCain needs to co-opt this for his own.

Congress already has enough challenges with managing a standing Army. What I see is another mouth at the table for desperately needed defense funds. Has anyone thought about Rules of Engagement? The enemy will be frothing at the mouth at the prospects of a bunch of untrained civilians taking up arms on their soil.

republicans try to spin everything!! get over yourselves. we impeached clinton and he had this country in good shape.. then bush takes over 900 days of vacation and puts us in a fake war and we’re cool with it. this country is doomed.

Now, see, I thought all this time that the ability to create a ‘well-regulated’ civilian defense force such as Obama describes was exactly what the 2nd was for.
Where did I go wrong? =)

the second what?

I was shocked when I heard this. All I could think of was an Obama SS Corp. OMG! Based on online comments, so many of his supporters are crazy and threaten violence if anyone disgrees with their messiah. Obama must be stopped. He is a narcissistic, lunatic. America will suffer big time if he is POTUS.

Read what Obama said, instead of listening to the cutely-edited “Foreign Policy for Dummies” version on this site:
“As President, I will expand AmeriCorps to 250,000 slots, and make that increased service a vehicle to meet national goals like providing health care and education, saving our planet and restoring our standing in the world, so that citizens see their efforts connected to a common purpose. People of all ages, stations, and skills will be asked to serve. Because when it comes to the challenges we face, the American people are not the problem - they are the answer.
So we are going to send more college graduates to teach and mentor our young people. We’ll call on Americans to join an Energy Corps to conduct renewable energy and environmental cleanup projects in their neighborhoods all across the country. We will enlist our veterans to find jobs and support for other vets, to be there for our military families. And we’re going grow our Foreign Service, open consulates that have been shuttered, and double the size of the Peace Corps by 2011 to renew our diplomacy.
“We cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives we’ve set. We’ve got to have a civilian national security force that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded.”
No Brownshirts, no Gestapo, no Fascists.
Just common sense and diplomacy.
But no cute YouTube video.
