Military to Pledge Oath To Obama, Not Constitution (Michele Chang)

"Secretary of Defense Robert Gates is extremely frustrated with
orders that the White House is contemplating. According to
sources at the Pentagon,including all branches of the armed forces, the
Obama Administration may Break with a centuries-old tradition.

A spokesman for General James Cartwright, the Vice Chairman of the Joint
Chiefs of Staff, states that the Obama Administration wants to have soldiers
and officers pledge a loyalty oath directly to the office of the President,
and no longer to the Constitution.

"The oath to the Constitution is as old as the document itself." the
spokesman said, "At no time in American history, not even in the Civil War,
did the oath change or the subject of the oath differ. It has always been to
the Constitution."

The back-and-forth between the White House and the Defense Department was
expected as President George W. Bush left office. President Obama has
already signed orders to close Guantanamo and to pull combat troops
from Iraq But , this, say many at the Defense Department, goes too far.
"Technically, we can't talk about it before it becomes official policy." the
spokesman continued. "However, the Defense Department, including the
Secretary, will not take this laying down. Expect a fight from the
bureaucracy and the brass."

Sources at the White House had a different point of view. In a circular
distributed by White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs, the rationale for
the change was made more clear. "The President feels that the military has been too indoctrinated
by the old harbingers of hate: nationalism, racism, and classism. By removing an oath to the
American society, the soldiers are less likely to commit atrocities like those at Abu Ghraib."

"We expect a lot of flak over this," the classified memo continues. "But
those that would be most against it are those looking either for attention
or control."

The time frame for the changes are unknown. However, it is more likely that
the changes will be made around the July 4th holiday, in order to dampen any
potential backlash. The difference in the oath will actually only be slight.
The main differences will be the new phrasing. It is expected that the oath
to the Constit ution will be entirely phased out within two years.

WHAT'S NEXT...IS HE GOING TO ASK THE ALLEGIANCE OF ALL AMERICAN CITIZENS &
SET HIMSELF UP AS GOD TO BE WORSHIPPED???

IF YOU'RE AS OUTRAGED BY THIS AS I AM...PASS IT ON SO OTHERS AND CALL their
REPRESENTATIVE. THIS SNEAKY FRAUD BEHIND CLOSED DOORS DESERVES TO BE
EXPOSED! "
