whatever happened to Obama's "civilian national security force"?

[bucs90]

Sorry bout that,



1. Well this should of made every sane person not vote for him, which I think it did, because didn't Hitler do the same thing?
2. And Obama throws this out there before he was elected, and the liberals go for it?
3. I wonder how many Jews voted for Obama?
4. Are liberals insane is the real question here, and should of been the title to this thread.

Hopey changey feel good black men can't become dictators, so it was rightfully ignored.

Had Bush called for a similar national civilian defense corp? Oh Lord....can't fathom it.

But no worries. He's hopey changey, smiles a lot and is black. All is right in the world. Or as the brainwashed children sang.....

"Barack Hussein Obama..........mmmm....mmmm....mmmm......He said it once he'll say it again, equal work for equal pay....Barack Hussein Obama.......mmmm...mmmm...mmmm" and the creepiness goes on.

Ohh about the same thing that happed to Bush who promised for the USA not to be the police force of the world and not be into nation building if he was elected.
to reduce spending, blah, blah.

Ahh the Bush card.....No longer valid.
This is Obama's watch. Deal with it.

 

[bucs90]

The Bush card has no expiration date. Thats what a failed ideology needs to keep it's credit alive, and they'll swipe that non-expired Bush card every time they've lost an argument.

Do we have Bush debt? Bush Tax cuts? Bush Pharmacy? You know it would be nice if everything expired the day a president left office, but they only believe that in fantasy land.

 

[gautama]

The right wing blogosphere moved on with their faux-outrage to another non-story.

NON-STORY MY ARSE !!!

Here is the President of the United States of America, OBVIOUSLY on record, desiring a National Military Force EXCLUSIVELY UNDER HIS OWN CONTROL !!!!!

And, the Obamarrhoidal stooges attempt to belittle this REPLICATION of HITLER'S infamous StormAbteilung that controlled every breath of Germany's citizenry as a NON FUCKING STORY !!!

SHAME ON YOUR ARSE MODBERT !!!

 

[gautama]

When politicians fail to deliver on their dumber campaign promises, I don't complain about it.

Jew Boy, You're a naive fucking idiot playing right into the hands of Obamarrhoidal stooges who are jerking you around like a mindless puppet.

If Israel had idiots like you, Israel woulda been in the hands of the Palestinian Terrorists decades ago.

Un-fucking-believable !!!

We aren't talking about building a habitat for humanity or teaching ungrateful 3rd world people how to boil water. Obama said "we need to meet national security objectives". I guess you could say the "new black panthers" meet Obama's expectations when they stand in front of voting places wearing uniforms and armed with nightsticks. Maybe that's why he instructed the attorney general not to prosecute them. Maybe B. Hussein has a community organizer's opinion of national security and that's why he hired a former leader of a looting and arson rampage to be on the "green jobs" board. Anything is possible with this crowd.

You've conflated one incident into a vast conspiracy. Are you afraid of black people or what?

Anti-uscitizen,

THAT THE FUCK DOES BUSH'S STATEMENT ABOUT THE ROLE OF AMERICA W/R/T THE WORLD HAVE TO DO WITH OBAMADINEJAD STATING, IN HIS OWN WORDS, THAT HE WANTS TO CREATE WHAT IS, IN EFFECT, A NAZI-LIKE "StormAbteilung" MILITARY FORCE FOR HIS EXCLUSIVE USE TO CONTROL AMERICA !!!

WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU BRAINLESS OBAMARRHOIDAL ARSEHOLES TRYING TO OBFUSCATE OBAMADINEJAD'S CRAZED AGENDA ?!?!?

 

[gautama]

whatever happened to Obama's "civilian national security force"?

Pretty much what he said would happen. His "civilian national security force" notion essentially amounted to three concrete things: 1) expanding AmeriCorps, 2) expanding the Foreign Service, and 3) making it easier to connect people to volunteering opportunities. Here:

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.​

So what happened to it?

Well, the AmeriCorps expansion became law only a few months after he took office:

The major provisions of the legislation are:

• Establishes four new service corps to address key needs in low income communities: a Clean Energy Corps to encourage energy efficiency and conservation; an Education Corps to help increase student engagement, achievement and graduation; a Healthy Futures Corps to improve health care access; and a Veterans Service Corps to enhance services for veterans.
  
• Increases the number of volunteers nationwide to 250,000, up from 75,000. These new service opportunities will include the expansion of existing service programs, like AmeriCorps, as well as the four new service corps focused on education, health care, energy and veterans. All service programs established under the bill will be overseen by the Corporation for National and Community Service.
  
• Increases the full-time education award service members receive in exchange for their work to $5,350 for 2010. This award would also be linked to match future increases in the Pell Grant scholarship in order to keep up with rising college costs.
  
• Establishes the Summer of Service program that engages middle and high school students in volunteer activities in their communities and allows them to earn a $500 education award to be used for college costs. Students will be eligible to participate in two terms of service and earn up to a total of $1,000.
  
• Establishes Youth Engagement Zones, a new service-learning program to engage low-income high school students and out-of-school youth in volunteer efforts that address challenges in their local communities. The program will encourage partnerships between community-based organizations and schools in high-need communities and apply real world activities to teach students about a certain topic. For example, volunteering in a homeless shelter could supplement a class about poverty.
  
• Expands opportunities for disadvantaged youth, including doubling the resources available to engage youth with disabilities, to become more involved with service and offers people of all ages and those from diverse backgrounds introduction to service.
  
• Establishes a new office for service opportunities for Native Americans.
  
• Expands the focus of the National Civilian Community Corps (NCCC) to include disaster relief, infrastructure improvement, environmental and energy conservation, and urban and rural development.
  
• Encourages service partnerships with other federal agencies and increases the participation of disadvantaged youth to 50 percent of program participants by 2011.
  
• Establishes an alumni corps of former participants who can be called to service during times of disaster and other emergencies.
  
• Encourages scientists, technicians and mathematicians to participate in service programs to help keep our nation competitive.
  
• Creates two new fellowships to engage social entrepreneurs, boomers and retirees, the private sector and Americans from all generations into service. Older Americans will be allowed to transfer their awards to a child, foster child or grandchild to help them pay for college.
  
  1. ServeAmerica Fellowships: ServeAmerica Fellows are individuals who propose their own plans for serving in their communities to address national needs and are matched up with a service sponsor.
  
  2. Silver Scholarships and Encore Fellowships: These programs offer Americans, age 55 or older, post-career service opportunities as well as entrance into new careers in the public or nonprofit sector. Silver Scholars will be able to earn up to $1,000 in exchange for 350 hours of service.
  
• Builds a nationwide service infrastructure through community-building investments, social entrepreneurship, and programs to support and generate new volunteers.
  
  1. Community Solutions Fund: Creates a Community Solutions Fund pilot program that awards competitive matching grants to social entrepreneur venture funds in order to provide community organizations with the resources to replicate or expand proven solutions to community challenges, including a new focus on leveraging public private partnerships in small communities and rural areas. (Examples of service organizations that were launched by social entrepreneurs include Teach for America, City Year, Citizen Schools, Jump Start, Working Today, an organization that provides affordable, portable health benefits to 100,000 Americans, and the SEED school, the nation’s first public urban boarding school.)
  
  2. Volunteer Generation Fund: Provides grants to improve the quality and capacity of organizations to work with volunteers, and to create innovations in volunteerism in the areas of recruitment, training and management.
  
• Expands the Volunteers for Prosperity program which encourages highly skilled professionals to serve internationally in targeted areas of need such as global health.
  
• Includes a Call to Service Campaign to launch a national campaign encouraging all Americans to engage in service and to observe September 11 as a National Day of Service and Remembrance
  
• Establishes the Campuses of Service to support and recognize institutions of higher education with exemplary service-learning programs and assists students in the pursuit of public service careers.

For the Foreign Service, Obama offered expansions of it in both his FY2010 and FY2011 budgets.

And as for the third prong, the volunteer.gov site originally launched as part of George W. Bush's USA Freedom Corps was replaced by Obama's serve.gov, which will connect you to volunteering opportunities to your heart's content.

The above is BULLSHIT evading Obamadinejad's TRUE AGENDA as explained by Bucs90 and Whitehall's posts some ~ 4 and 5 posts after Greenbeard's post above.

Yeah, Obamadinejad, IN HIS OWN FUCKING WORDS declares that he wants to establish a well funded force FOR NATIONAL SECURITY, well funded AND TRAINED AS THE MILITARY.....

And the Obamarrhoidal Stooges are pointing to the Peace Corps (as if the Peace Corps has anything to do with "NATIONAL SECURITY") to divert the attention from what Obamadinejad actually stated in his Presidential Campaign thus OBFUSCATNG OBAMADINEJAD'S CRAZED PRONOUNCEMENT.

And, the Obamarrhoidal stooge, editec thinks that we.....who are against Obamadinejad's predilection for an exclusive military, directly under his sole control, like Hitler's StormAbteilung.....we are the ones that are "just plain nuts".

Editec, you are an idiot.....and an Obamarrhoidal Stooge.

Oh we already have plenty of secret armies that the government can and does call on to do their dirty work, Guat.

But those have been in place since long before Obama took office.

What the hell do you think Halliburton et al, really is?

So let's recap my position, shall we?

1. I believe that there are forces within the government prepared to take on the American people if they get out of line.

2. Those secret forces aren't very secret, and they are part of the PRIVATE sector who contract with our government

3. They existed before Obama took office, but I do not doubt that he'd make use of them, too, just as any POTUS having that power might.

You got my position now, kid?

You fears are justified, but your narrative about who to fear is somewhat confused.

GreenBeard,

Your playing the Apples & Oranges obfuscating Obamadinejad's stated desire for Obamadinejad's exclusive Nazi-like SturmAbteilung under his direct control ........... with Peace Corps and a lot of irrelevant "smoke & mirrors" bullshit.

We are not buying it, Sonny.

 

[whitehall]

Let's not get bogged down in conspiracy theories about the possiblity of a "civilian army" being trained as we speak. It could be happening on a small scale, who knows about this crew? Keep in mind that Obama's homeland security chief listed returning Military Veterans as potental terror threats and left out jihad radicals. The fact that the president of the United States would make a shocking proposal like "a civilian force as well funded and as powerful as the Military" gives us a tiny window into the mind of the Chicago left wing radical thug who is living in the White House.

 

[Greenbeard]

Those of you who are stressing over this terrifying civilian army under Obama's control (which is apparently something different than what he described in detail in the speech discussing it): you understand that Obama is the commander-in-chief of the real military, right? In fact, he's sort of at the top of the entire national security apparatus.

I would assume that scares you more than the Peace Corps or AmeriCorps. But then again the things that terrify you folks are often surprising to me.
