Republican Paul Broun is fearing the worst when it comes to President-elect Obama. According to Broun, “It may sound a bit crazy and off base, but the thing is, he’s the one who proposed this national security force. I’m just trying to bring attention to the fact that we may-may not, I hope not-but we may have a problem with that type of philosophy of radical socialism or Marxism.”

Referring to an Obama speech in July where Broun said the candidate called for a civilian force to take some of the national security burden off the military, “That’s exactly what Hitler did in Nazi Germany and it’s exactly what the Soviet Union did.

When he’s proposing to have a national security force that’s answering to him, that is as strong as the U.S. military, he’s showing me signs of being Marxist.”

“We can’t be lulled into complacency,” Broun added. “You have to remember that Adolf Hitler was elected in a democratic Germany. I’m not comparing him to Adolf Hitler. What I’m saying is there is the potential of going down that road.”

Obama’s camp has declined to comment on Broun’s over-the-top accusations.

Getting ready for his big move to the White House is Barack Obama, who I am applauding. On November 4th, he gave the world their hope back. Feeling lost, ignored and powerless for eight years, America is well on its way to being united once again. While we began to feel as if our voices didn’t matter, we now have proof that they do.

Although I am confident Obama is going to lead us in a much better direction, we the people have a lot of hard work to do. This Friday, November 7, 2008, Obama spoke to the world yet again, explaining that while he is still not “officially” president, his first goal is to “act swiftly to resolve [the financial challenge].

“Immediately after I become president, I will confront this economic crisis head-on by taking all necessary steps to ease the credit crisis, help hardworking families, and restore growth and prosperity,” said Obama. “I’m confident a new president can have an enormous impact.”
