Analysis: Obama , Acorn, and the National Civilian Corps

Do you remember all that talk by Mr. Obama about a civilian national security force?

“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.”

The key words in that passage are “achieve the national security objectives.” While everyone else was focusing on the dichotomy of our US military and a civilian counterpart, the real focus should have been on the definition of what Mr. Obama believes to be our “national security objectives.”

Let’s take the aforementioned quote and put it into context by incorporating this quote by Mr. Obama:

“We are five days away from fundamentally transforming the United States of America.”

As we have witnessed over the past eight months, Mr. Obama has quite the different vision of what is and what isn’t important where the well-being of our nation is concerned. Therefore, his idea of what comprises our “national security objectives” is also quite different from what we have come to expect and understand. Truth be told, this above average Chicago machine politician has coalesced his need to consolidate power with the implementation of his agenda, facilitated by a mostly manufactured mortgage crisis and a perceived economic crisis, into a marketable set of new age national security objectives.

In the Stimulus Package Mr. Obama effectively raided the US Treasury to reward a plethora of special interest groups. If the intent of the almost trillion dollar stimulus package was to create jobs and kick-start the economy why then were millions and in some cases billions spent on:

• The San Francisco Salt March Mouse
• A magnetically levitating train line from Disneyland to Las Vegas
• Lithium battery research
• Zero emissions power plants & carbon capture projects
• Amtrak
• The National Endowment for the Arts
• “Global warming” research (even as temperatures continue to fall)
• Digital television conversion
• Medicaid
• Unemployment benefits, food stamps & earned income credits

. . . What is unquestionable about the Stimulus Bill is that in each of the instances where a special interest was served – this group is dominated by eco-zealots and unions – an Obama supportive voter block was rewarded for their campaign efforts. With much of the $825 billion yet to be spent, it isn’t hard to understand that the bulk of this “embezzlement” will be allocated to Obama supportive groups just prior to the 2010 and 2012 elections.

But with or without ACORN, Mr. Obama, the quintessential Chicago machine politician, is well on his way to adhering to the machines cardinal rules. He has attained elected office. He has consolidated power. He has rewarded his minions. And he is positioning for re-election.

Do you remember when I mentioned Mr. Obama’s quote about the “civilian national security force that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded?” Have you figured out just who and/or what organizations the “force” is comprised of yet?

Here’s a hint: “…just look for the union label…”
