Obama made clear that he was a strong supporter of the draft at the ServiceNation Presidential Forum at Columbia University on Sept. 11, 2008 and I don't know why the MSM or the McCain campaign let that one slip right by. Obama on the draft speaking at Columbia:
Quote: But its also important that a president speaks to military service as an obligation not just of some, but of many. You know, I traveled, obviously, a lot over the last 19 months. And if you go to small towns, throughout the Midwest or the Southwest or the South, every town has tons of young people who are serving in Iraq and Afghanistan. Thats not always the case in other parts of the country, in more urban centers. And I think its important for the president to say, this is an important obligation. If we are going into war, then all of us go, not just some. http://www.clipsandcomment.com/2008/...ia-university/
The Obama campaign is playing down Biden's "gaffe" by saying that international crisis is common when a new president takes office. . . The point that Biden was making was not that Obama will be tested but rather some very specific decisions that Obama was going to make that would be unpopular with Americans regarding the crisis. . . He explains that it will be a decision that people will claim not to have known that he'd make. . . Although Obama said he favors the draft at the forum, it's never been in the MSM and the vast majority of people have no idea. A lot of his support is coming from people and groups who believe that Obama wants to keep us out of war and conscription contradicts that. . .

Don’t forget that in one of the debates or campaign swings Obama said that there should be a civilian force as strong and well funded as the military...no one asked what he meant by that..we have police, sheriffs, fire fighters, National Guard. So what did he mean by this? A force like those New Black Panthers led by that Shabazz guy..all dressed in black and looking menacing? They could be a sort of force he is talking about and putting that in place as a form of National Service if one does not go into the armed forces.
I was thinking about this today when I heard an ad on the radio for the Selective Service. Here would be a pool of names of young men age 18 and up ripe for his picking.
I’m doing my best, I see that you are, as well. Hopefully, your kin will do their best to get this on the front burner......
Hussein is already conducting his own foreign diplomacy - Canada, Mexico, Syria, Iran, Venezuela, Russia. (300 foreign policy advisors).

It would really be something seeing all those wide-eyed young Obama fans have those smiles turned upside down if they are drafted in wholesale numbers.
Whoever figured this out is pretty damn smart , if you ask me. If you look at some of the other statements posted here you don’t have to do much reading between the lines to see that is exactly what this ass is planning to do.
This has to get out into the media as much as possible.Drudge, Rush, Hannity, Gallagher, Ingraham, Greta, Bennett ?
I can see all his college fools running for Canada already.
Think it through. A draft serves Obama in several ways. He cleans out the military of right thinkers. He extends his radical views, government control and influence beyond 12th grade minds. It enables him to further the social engineering he has in mind. It allows him a fighting force to change the landscape and influence in Africa.
One has to wonder what just is this boy’s end game?

So start spreading it. Now.
I understand. But I would just like to see liberals in boot camp... any type of boot camp!
It starts with mandatory COMMUNEity service as a grammar school, high school and college requirement.
Give back to your COMMUNEity

Of course, Obama doesn't see it that way.
In 2004 the Democrats were trying to scare young voters into voting against Bush by fabricating the story that Bush would revive the draft. In fact, the peace-time draft was first imposed by a Democrat President and was finally dropped by a Republican (Nixon). Jimmy Carter is the one who revived registration for the draft. I think it was in reaction to the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan.
I didn’t say it was a good idea. I said what I heard is Obama’s plan and reasoning.
And what about 0bama’s civilian paramilitary force? Who gets to do that?
Gee, he’s a real prize, huh?
I agree with you 100%. You want highly motivated individuals that want to be there and feel the call to serve.
My thoughts exactly...this needs to get out and fast.....
Quote from Biden and Ask if they know Obamas position on the draft....they will be suprised!!!
Grab your uniforms Junior...only this time I am sure they will be NATO blue.
Rush and Hannity just got emails. Whether they read em is another story.

Great. A draft would mean we’ll never defend ourselves again, at least not until we’re fighting right here, which I guess would be the only acceptable use for our military in the eyes of liberals.
The "Army" doesn't have a choice.
Which will come first, the draft or reparations?
Can a president impose the draft or does the Congress have to vote it in?
