Aside from that, as "Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States" according to the Constitution, he already has an army.

Is anyone else imagining a unit of Ak47 wielding therapists screaming "TELL ME ABOUT YOUR MOTHER."

Also, Sniper Dentists, they shoot out all your teeth.

Perhaps they will enlist dominatrix Dentists, to "discipline" bad teeth.

I guess my question is: when do I get my own private army? Would a pack of Chihuahuas count?

Here's another question to consider: has anyone ever been mauled to death by a pack of Chihuahuas? Because that would be terribly embarrassing. I guess on the bright side it's not something you'd have to live with.

I don't like O - but the reality is he wants them trained like a military force - meaning that they have a specific authority structure. They are set up in the same way as a military force - yet their skills (and the training set aside for) are not in military skills - aka - finding ways to kill people. These are, by every definition - doctors of some sort. Thus, I have confidence that they will fulfill the duties of their Hippocratic (sp?) oath and do no harm. Having been in existence for quite some time, this really does little more than formally set in place an authoritarian heirarchy.

There are alot of things this government is doing that is not kosher with the constitution, but this whole "health marshal law" theory has been around for a long while, and nothing ever came of it to date, nor will it.

Besides - who is gonna win - a doctor who can't take a life, or a citizen with a firearm? Keep an eye on gun control legislation!

Be afraid, be very afraid, this secret army is not just after the paranoid patriots teeth, once they have done the patriots they will be coming for you.
Come to think of it Bubblehead, this Gestapo thing you have, since they were stereotypicly famous for wearing long leather coats will this medical gestapo be coming for you in long white coats?
Oh no the government is sending men in white coats to round up those really crazy people

nice satire

I had a discussion about this over dinner with people from my work(law firm) mostly liberal or moderate, a couple conservatives.They all seemed to not like the idea of the President, no matter who he is having his own private little force who will be trained like the military but for use in the civillian world.Slippery Slope and all, could lead to a gestapo type situation.Not just about Obama for me, no President should have what he has said in the video below that he wants and apparently will have thanks to the bill.

I believe we have seen hints of the real obama but if he wins a second term, I believe he will show us the real obama because he will have nothing to lose then.Even now he acts as if he does not despite the polls, which is kind of scary, means he is driven by his ideology more than what the citizens want and what the constitution says he can do.Strange days are ahead.

Well I am sure it has happened in the past. 1942

Conservative Jew "Hitler has Doctors in the camps and they are killing people!"

Liberal Jewish guy "Oh yea like Hitler's doctors and dentists are going to kill people....You conservative Jews are always shouting fire!"



Sound Familiar? Think it could never happen here?

I am not saying It will but it is better to keep your eyes open and stop every little transgression against our freedoms and Constitution then to live in a false sense of security.

Republicans or Democrats both have wiped there back ends with the Constitution and when that happens hey should be jailed for treason!
