“We cannot continue to rely only 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.” B.H.O
The last time I read a discussion about this quote, it was promoting his idea of two years of National Service right out of high school.
"Barack Obama greets supporters after speaking at the National Council of La Raza Convention in San Diego, Calif., Sunday, July 13."
Lonewacko expressed the situation clearly:
What the Sam Hill? There’s nothing at his Service page (barackobama.com/issues/service) discussing anything near such a program. He wants to increase the size of Americorps, create a “Homeland Security Corps”, create other specialized groups, and give more power and equipment to the Reserves and Guard. But, considering that the U.S. military budget is nearly half a trillion dollars and they’ve got bunker busters and nuclear submarines and things like that, one might expect some sort of inkling of a plan.
Obama today in San Diego with admirers...
Looks like the SEC is going to start investigating rumors (on the banks)...

Of the over 20,000 Mexicans at the convention, Obama spoke to 2,000 large paying folks and they wern’t all Mexicans.
20,000 Mexicans? I wonder if they’re all here legally...
Question of the day.
There were demonstraters from both sides near the convention center.
Dr. Miller: Two different anthrax preparations were used in the attacks. The first was crude; the second used in the Capitol Hill attacks was weaponized.
John now on KFI Los Angeles.
Batchlor all indignant about the loan guarantees to Fanny Mae and Freddy Mac.
I don’t blame him, we don’t need 5 trillion more in debt for our children.

LOL. wow Truth hurts.
Talking about the US campaign now. Claims that Obama is having trouble raising money.
It is so true, it’s funny!
Now talking about the polls showing Obama and McCain virtually tied. The June Newsweak poll showing a 15-pt. Obama lead was probably invalid due to a sampling error.
