O'bamas National Police

Since OR failed to provide the context but only a very brief video, I will:

Obama, July 2, Colorado Springs, CO: "[As] president I will expand AmeriCorps to 250,000 slots [from 75,000] 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 effort 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 clean-up projects in their neighborhoods all across the country.

We will enlist our veterans to find jobs and support for other vets, and to be there for our military families. And we're going to 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 only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that 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. We need to use technology to connect people to service. We'll expand USA Freedom Corps to create online networks where American can browse opportunities to volunteer. You'll be able to search by category, time commitment and skill sets. You'll be able to rate service opportunities, build service networks, and create your own service pages to track your hours and activities.

This will empower more Americans to craft their own service agenda and make their own change from the bottom up."

Why do you continue to propagate this? I already gave you a link that debunks this on another thread.

This is simply a small soundbyte from a larger speech. You need to take the comment in context.

You see, O'ld Regular's agenda would not be advanced if he didn't misrepresent the President's views by tactics such as this. I don't mind honest criticism of anyone. But this is pure and simple misrepresentation to lead to a false conclusion.

 

The only obfuscation is yours, OR, in your attempt to misrepresent and mislead re: the President. And who says he is a god? Certainly no one here.

 

Am I one of the "O'bamaites" you refer to OldRegular?

 

I'm not defending his stated purpose. I'm telling you that you are wrong on his stated purpose.

Will you believe the "American Thinker"? It's a very conservative publication.

Quote, "Barack Obama's recent words to promote his image as Community Organizer in Chief were not about forming a paramilitary force of volunteer brown shirts. They were about turning America into one, giant, community organizer's sandbox at enormous cost to taxpayers."

This is what I think Obama's words were about. And for the record, I'm very opposed to it.

Will you believe Joseph Farah from WorldNetDaily? He's conservative for sure.

He doesn't think it is about making a force like the "brown shirts" as you put forth in another thread. In fact, he pins the term back to Robert Gates. Yeah, the guy who was Defense Secretary under Bush and is still Defense Secretary under Obama.

 

You're hallucinating. Come back to reality.

 

Maybe Curtis will show up and call him a liar!

 

No...how about staying on topic instead of trying to divert it? You created this topic, atleast have the courtesy to stick to it.

 

No, what's interesting is that you are avoiding the topic.

I'll respond to your derailment anyway. Farah posted his WND article on August 21, 2008. In that article he says that "Last fall Gates began giving a series of speeches about the need to create a more modern State Department and a civilian national security force". Last fall means Fall 2007

The quote you gave from Obama was said on July 2, 2008.

So, are you now trying to tell me that Gates and Obama had some secret meetings prior to Gates making his statements in Fall 2007?
