A video that the MSM wont show you. In fact the Obama campaign doesnt have it on their website and no transcript can be found for this speech in Colorado Springs.
Peculiar
Unfortunately for the Obama campaign the speech can be had on YouTube. (Video Included)
(Excerpt) Read more at stuckon-stupid.com ...
Just stupid.
This man is becoming a carbon copy of Woodrow Wilson.
He wants to make us a police state.
Kerry was a statesman compared to Barry.
That guy is nuts.
Would that be a Civilian army without guns??
More like that crazy Austrian with the funny mustache.

Can see it now. Liberals running to Canada to escape serving in Obama’s army..ha
Show Prep Ping.
Actually, Woodrow Wilson's American Protective League came before the Gestapo.
And Woodrow Wilson was the first fascist, that other fascists that followed, admired.
1.2 million taxpayer-paid Community Organizers......So Obama can do for the nation what he did for Chicago (which is absolutely nothing).
Well, you gotta give him credit for realizing that it’s gonna take FORCE to get the productive to continue to support his idea of ‘fairness’.

Barack is victim again of another "poor phrasing" (and with a TelePrompter, no less).
Gosh, it's so-o-o-o darn hard to say what you mean.
Not if Jesse J. had his way...that guy would be nut-LESS!
Either the media purposely scrubbed that section from the printed transcript or, more likely, BHO veered away from his prepared remarks on the teleprompter and was" talkin' out the side of his neck" for a minute, revealing what he would really like to implement.
"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."
somebody’s got to make a commercial based on the ‘improvements’ he made in Chicago.
(Gov. planning to call out National Guard)
The video has been pulled from you tube. replaces with another video.....
Ah, I opined that Hillarycare would lead to only politically correct persons getting appointed to medical school by the government. Looks like Obamacare will do that one better by adding a Goon Squad for coming after Christians.
I’d say the odds are good that if he becomes President, there will indeed be a civilian army. In fact, there already is a civilian army, and if you’re between the ages of 18 and 45 you’re a member.
SAVING FOR LATER, THANKS.
Actually, he’s becoming a carbon copy of Josef Stalin.
Also from the transcript:
“I wrote letters to every organization in the country I could think of. And one day, a small group of churches on the South Side of Chicago offered me a job working to help neighborhoods that had been devastated by steel plant closings. My mother and grandparents wanted me to go to law school. My friends were applying to jobs on Wall Street. Meanwhile, this organization offered me $12,000 a year plus $2,000 for an old, beat-up car. And I said yes.”
But, why didn’t he serve for free in Americorps or another service organization?
Post #9 video valid at this moment. Section of speech in question is at 16:41 into the video
Americorp is such a rip-off: they pay a stipend, so they can pay less than minimum wage ($6.90/hr), the supposed health insurance they offer would take up most of that stipend, and you only get it for full time positions,which are very rare. How anyone could afford to serve full time is beyond me. But the administrators of it get paid quite well.
To register each and every lazy tax parasite in the country to vote, and bus them all out for elections and liberal street demonstrations and such. That's what community organizers do.
Making this a federal program isn't national service, it's national suicide.
Jobs for his brothers. More affirmative action. He is obviously not black enough to realize his brothers in the hood don’t want jobs. Otherwise carjackings, muggings, rapes, and black on black shootings wouldn’t be their main activity. Generations born and raised on the welfare and food stamps. What makes this idiot think they would want to work.
What the hell is a civilian army?
Here’s a direct link to the video on YouTube:

I assure you, THIS IS NO GAFFE.
The Obamaführer means exactly what he says. Be sure to save a copy before it gets pulled, which will be soon.
Not for long....
An "Obamarmy" - Scary stuff, indeed.
The Limbaugh account belonged to someone spoofing the real deal. That account has been banned. If there is a FReeper account that belongs to anyone on Rush’s staff, I’d sure like to know so that we can send him material to consider for show prep. You’re right, this thread would be perfect.
Ah, Snowball and Napolean want to take the puppies away for their own protection! How wonderful.
Actully, I’m almost certain Rush persues here for show prep...
The Denver Post’s headline says
“Full transcript of Obama’s prepared remarks”
which sort of plays it both ways and thereby manages to miss, twice, in one headline.
See here: http://www.denverpost.com/ci_9765136
“1.2 million taxpayer-paid Community Organizers......”
Well, sure. Haven’t Americorps and the Peace Corps solved poverty here and around the World?
These people won’t have anything to do, except stick their nose in other people’s business.
That is a 400 billion dollar ticket, but worse.....is he really proposing a Gestapo. Will they have an Air Force, an Army equipped with tanks, canons, missils, etc. What will be their mandate? That is what he said....'just as well funded, just as strong",....I have never heard a politician make such a statement. This should cinch the election for McCane.
I’m sure of it too. More than once or twice, he’s actually read FR thread comments on his show. Still, it would be nice to be able to ping someone on his staff to relevant threads that might otherwise be overlooked. I remember one of his staff, I think it might’ve been Dawn, used to post here. But, back when the oxycontin scandal broke, some FReepers were posting really really ugly stuff about Rush. The staffer defended him for awhile, and then asked the mods to delete her account. I felt so sad for her.
On one memorable occasion, Rush used the phrase “barf alert” on his show.
We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we have set. We have got to have a civilian national security force that is just as powerful, just as strong, just as well funded. -Barack Obama July 2, 2008
I think Obama uses broad analogies and has no clue that it makes no sense in reality. They try to put together phrases for the cadence of it and play with vague notions.
I be he couldn’t even tell you what he meant...or what the person who wrote it meant, because it probably doesn’t “mean” anything.
Which, in a way, is worse than if he meant it.
