Man the level of crazy that has taken over this thread is so bad I am not sure who is being serious and who is being sarcastic. The only people advocating for Obama to have a private security force have been the tin foil hat crowd. After 6 years in office he has not even started on this grand scheme of his to create a private Army.

This type of stuff is so 5 years ago, and a good chunk 10 years ago.

Oh dear: “assist full-time Commissioned Corps personnel to meet both routine public health and emergency response missions.”
Forced vaccinations, maybe? I don't know. Only thing I do know is that they're not there to protect the little guy against federalist overreach....

yeaok
hopenotfeariswhatweneed
now why is that this reminds of the story of hitlers rise to power ?
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.
You want to put some money on that? Because I heard the same thing about Reagan, Bush Sr, Clinton and Bush Jr., so this is a bet I am willing to take. Not only will Obama leave office on time he will be happy to do it so he can start making millions while writing books and giving speeches and living a stress free life. Nobody wants to stay in power in the US it is pretty much the worst job you could have.
