Obama has more problem(s) to worry about than whatever story the nut brigade is making up about him at the moment.

Hmmm, are you certain? He announces his big fix to the Obamacare problems and THEN the next day meets with the insurance industry leaders to talk it over.edit on 17-11-2013 by whywhynot because: Sp

One day our children are going to look back in history and refer back to this moment as "Obama's rise to power".
No one stood up before, and so history repeats itself.
An update on Obama’s personal army…
Because the American military swears an allegiance to the U.S. Constitution, and not to the President, could Obama’s strategy be to strip our Armed Services and shift their dollars into an all powerful civilian Army under his command? Two tips coming into CiR this week surprisingly connect just these dots and link these machinations to Obamacare funding.
On page 496 of H.R. 3590 is this quote: ” (b) Assimilating Reserve Corp Officers Into the Regular Corps. . .Effective on the date of enactment of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, all individuals classified as officers in the Reserve (civilian) Corps . . .shall be deemed to be commissioned officers of the Regular Corps.” Reserve and Regular Corps are military terms used to describe a “civilian national security force that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well funded,” says Obama in his famous Civilian Army Speech.
An article from the Marine Corps Times this week states: “The Marine Corps faces a difficult period of transition that will include shedding thousands of personnel per year, sharpening its role as a crisis-response force. . .” This means our U.S. Marine Corps is being cut by 8,000 personnel fewer “than previously planned, and 12,800 fewer than the 186,800 end strength” recommended by senior Marine analysts! This severe reduction in the Marine Corps force is the “minimum acceptable force” according to the warning given Congress by Commandant Gen. Jim Amos. “Eleven combat arms battalions and 14 aviation squadrons will be cut,” he added. This very important article, sent to CiR, details a severe force reduction in “Manpower and Force Structure,” plus procurements and even Aviation. As many as 25,000 airmen and 550 planes “would go if sequester continues.” But how come sequester isn’t affecting Obama’s Army?
It all started modestly enough. Hoping to stem the rising tide of socialism in the late 19th century, German Chancellor Otto von Bismarck decided to institute a welfare state, the theory being that finding a middle ground between laissez-faire capitalism and full-blown socialism would blunt the popularity of the latter without unduly interfering with the former. Bismarck convinced the Reichstag to create four programs: accident insurance, old-age pensions, disability insurance, and compulsory health insurance.

From the beginning of the Obama administration he was advocating for a new security force that will answer to him, even the uniforms were to be different than anything else, this was taken with scorn by the opposing party and most of the population, but because it was a few years ago that this was in the news people have forgotten.
Sadly if this is true, then his wishes has come true and he has gone ahead and do this on his presidential powers.
I wonder if most of the members of this so call security is mostly Muslim of shady background like the people he has surrounded himself with in his administration.

I just read the article you linked, and I don't expect I'll sleep well tonight.
The things going on that we know of are unbelievably counter-productive to humanity; I shudder to think of what goes on 'behind the curtain'.....

Didn't they hire more IRS agents to enforce Obamacare? True? I am truly perplexed and I think the American public deserves answers.
