Obama: Is a Hitler comparison fair?

Remember Hitler Youth? The SA (Storm Troopers)? The civilian goon squads that Hitler put on the street to beat up anyone they chose in order to destroy opposition. Obama is planning an Obama Youth. “We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we’ve set,” he said Wednesday. “We’ve got to have a civilian national security force that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well funded.”

LGF has the gory details. This son of a bitch may be really dangerous with a Democrat Congress in his pocket. Wow. There is also a link to the source called the Exurban League which looks to be a dam good blog who is also running picture at left above with a more detailed report. VOA has the same report, here.
Late add: just checked out the blog. It's terrific. Go there and check the one titled Put Ze Iraq Policy Back in honor of flip flopping. Great.

Reminds me of a book I read back when, "The New Elite", by Levin, I think.

He described the new elite as insular to an extreme, listening to no one but themselves, or people just like themselves. They go to school with themselves, they marry themselves. They would take power just this way, but not out of lust for power, but because they see themselves as the best people for the job- don't all their friends say so? Well meaning despots. He also said that they would find out very quickly, that rougher hands would take over what they started, once they had encroached on liberty. Like Hitler used the Werhmacht, perhaps?
