July 17, 2008 Another inconvenient truth down the Obama Memory HoleThe staggering implications of another embarrassing Obama statement would remain unexplored, with the public record obscured, were it not for a video clip of one of his speeches posted to the web and alert internet journalists. As first developed by World Net Daily's Joseph Farah, the story is about what the candidate said in Colorado Springs on July 2nd:
Published transcripts of the speech in the Wall Street Journal and Denver Post did not include the remarks, which apparently were added to the prepared transcript. Another instance of the dangers of letting the candidate deviate from the teleprompter? In the MSM, only the Chicago Tribune publicized the remarks. But the size implications of a force that's "just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded" as the United States Military went unremarked upon. This would truly be a mass organization, apparently a new kind of security force. Ed Morrissey at Hot Air explores what else Obama could have meant. But if this remark ever requires response, I suspect he will admit to "poor phrasing" and claim he meant "ample" funding. But that would require someone beyond the blogosphere to publicize it. This is a golden opportunity for talk show hosts. Even if he claims it was poor phrasing, the sweeping nature of the phrase "just as powerful, just as strong" seems to offer some sort of window into the candidate's mind. There is a hint of regarding the military as the "other" against which to compare the new forces. Inherent in the words "just as" is an unmistakable sense of catching up and balancing out. If these new civilian security forces ever march into an Obama rally carrying torches, whatever color their shirts, I am out of here. Hat tip: Clarice Feldman

Well I wouldn't bother getting too uptight about it. Bill Clinton said he is going to campaign for Obama, so you can pretty much kiss Obama's candidacy goodbye. Say hello to President McCain.

Every national savior requires his "protection squadron," doesn't he?

Or, funding parity could be achived by cutting the military budget???

What other political environment has anything resmbling a Civilian National Security Force? Obviously Homeland Security is not enough, nevermind, FBI, ATF, CIA ... on and on.
This is an increasingly frightening man.

Seems to me that Barry Hussein has been hanging out with the Farrakhan gooons a little too long!
Any chance his autobiography is another Mein Kampf?

As I mentioned to a friend today, I'm going to start printing off and having handy these types of articles as conversation pieces. And - no offense intended - I'm not talking about the AT pieces, but those in the MSM and documents produced by the Obama campaign.
With all of the scrubbing that takes place at the Obama website, it may be prudent to do this sooner rather than later. I know, there are always archive copies out there, but there's nothing like words on paper - something concrete - to show and tell about.
Cheers.

Thomas, right on!
But don't you mean the Obama Memory Black Hole?

chillingly similiar to the Nazi brown shirts.

Please keep beating the drum about this. It's the most frightening thing so far amidst all the promised horrors announced by this self-adulating candidate.

I think he'd better explain that comment fully...I'm NOT cool with anything that smacks of the 'Sturmabteilung'.
Who commands it? Who controls it? Who does it answer to? Where does it fit within the framework of the Constitution? Where does it's funding come from?
And that's the beginning of my questions.
And no, 'Hope and Change' are NOT satisfactory answers.
