No offense, but this is a pretty ridiculous assertion.
Couldn't you have made a valid point without embellishing it to the extreme? It might have been far more persuasive that way.
Public Allies brags that more than 80% of graduates have continued working in nonprofit or government jobs. It's training the "next generation of nonprofit leaders" — future "social entrepreneurs."
The Obamas discourage work in the private sector. "Don't go into corporate America," Michelle has exhorted youth. "Work for the community. Be social workers." Shun the "money culture," Barack added. "Individual salvation depends on collective salvation."
"We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded" as the military, he said.

All security forces are trained to use force. To use force you need weapons.

Your wishfull thinking discounts the entirety of what he said, you are only translating the "powerfull" and "equipped" words.

Couple all this with mandatory service and you have the Hitler youth program all over again. That is not an exageration.
You're not a pony in a parade, you should take your blinders off.

You needed to absolutely deny the civillian security force in order to create your spinned up version. Well, that is not what is on the public record.

Also Bob Barr knows Obama said mandatory service. Your spin conveniently denies this also. You can read Obama's quote there on mandatory service and Bob Barrs response to it.

The topic of the thread is the hidden corp, the Public Allies organization that Obama is to afraid too put front and center, even though he helped found it and his wife heads it. It is too controversial so he only mentions the peace corp. The leftwing media is in on his dirty little secret by covering it up also.
'd suggest that you actually take a look at Obama's issues. They're right there for your viewing pleasure on his website. Then, when you're finished, maybe you can come back and actually touch on some legitimate concerns rather than this fear-mongering.
