A point not in dispute.

- Who is posing a threat to us that the U.S. Military cannot/should not handle?

- Who will this "force" be made up of?

- Who is the real enemy?

- Does the president know of a coming event? If not, who builds an army against an unrecognized enemy?

Like the conspiracy that doesn't exist in some of your questions. You posted it so I can only assume you believe it. So go ahead and enlighten us.

I posted the question, because the White House refuses to answer while funding a half billion dollars for it. What is it? Why do we need it?

The "Truthers" posed questions about 9/11 and the White House and every sane structural and aeronautical engineer in the country answered the questions. (No we did not blow up the Twin Towers, Yes JP8 fuel burning at that temperature for that amount of time, with that amount of weight... can bring the buildings down). etc. etc.

I want to know the answers to the questions and what does this mean?

~Just as powerful, just as strong, just as well funded.. WTF does that mean?~

How about we lend some context to the quote first.

[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.

To the sane and rational person does that sound like a call to create the modern equivalent to the SA or Gestapo or does that sound like a call to expand the Peace Corps, AmeriCorp, Freedom Corp...etc? You sound just like a truther when you post shit like "Does the president know of a coming event? If not, who builds an army against an unrecognized enemy." When put in context the quote seems rather benign.

well... a lot of your first questions can be answered by an Economics 101 term which nobody seems to have brought up... it's called shock therapy.

swift and abrupt changes to "shock" the economic system.

OK.. Here's the context you sent:

[As] president I will expand AmeriCorps...

...We'll call on Americans to join an energy corps...

...And we're going to grow our Foreign Service...

...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'll expand USA Freedom Corps...

...We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded.

(Granted I know about the Foreign Service: strengthening peace and supporting prosperity as they promote our business interests and protect American citizens throughout the world.)

So... what does that mean? How will the Peace Corps, AmeriCorps, USA Freedom Corps, and Foreign Service protect us in the event of an attack? They are mostly un-armed civilians.

[FarangBa]

For Arguments Sake.. let's just assume that what you are saying is correct. (that the President meant something else when he says Civilian National Security.. and he only means increasing AmeriCorps, PeaceCorps etc.)

Then how about these questions?

- Who is "surrounding" the President in the White House?

- Do any of the President's advisers have criminal records?

- Are the President's advisers working to better the country or something else?

- Who are the anti-capitalists in Washington?

- What roles do they have in crafting bills?

- Why does it seem every member of the Obama advisory team hates capitalism, unless those companies (like G.E.) are in bed with the administration?

- What was "STORM"? What happened to the founders, where are they now?

[FarangBa]

What about this Bill Ayers thing that we have all forgotten about because Presidential Candidate (at the time) Obama stated that he didn't really know that guy, didn't know he was a terrorist, etc.

-The Apollo Alliance claimed credit for writing the stimulus bill—why was this group allowed to write any portion of this bill?

- If the President did not "really" know the terrorist Bill Ayers that well, does he know that a senior board member for The Apollo Alliance is the co-founder (along with Bill Ayers) of the Weather Underground (the terrorist organization which bombed city buildings and assassinated police officers).

HaHa... Yes you are right... from one came many.

AND FOR THE RECORD!!!
ONLY (1) PART HAS (POSSIBLY) BEEN SORT OF ANSWERED

but I have been ridiculed for thinking that an Anti-Capitalist and an actual Communist shouldn't be advising the President about "anything" in a Capitalist country.
