   I don’t know what the exact future holds if Washington is attacked with nukes or incapacitated due to a natural disaster — such as a tsunami or a floor collapse at a strip club

   I shall make it my patriotic duty to visit all of DC’s strip clubs to make sure they are uh….up to code.

   No no. You don’t have to thank me. We all have a role to play in our nation’s security. I do, however, take donations. A few folded up ones or maybe a fiver would be nice.

   Those shadow government plans and secret sites have been around for at least a couple of decades. The ironic thing is, as a junior Senator from Illinois, Obama wouldn’t have been able to get the security clearance neccessary to know the details.

    Umm….
    Security is not my area of expertise…but, why would the area to which officials will be moved, in the event of a terrorist strike, be made public?

    Is it a good idea to tell terrorists where you’ll be going?

    Is it being done as a feint?
    Would terrorists actually go for the “fake”; i.e., be fooled into attacking the publicized, phony place?
    Are terrorists that predictably stupid?

    You ain’t getting none of my hard earned money until I see your pole dancing routine! Here I picked a song for you.

    “Shades of night are falling and I’m lonely
    Standing on the corner feeling blue
    Sweethearts out for fun
    Pass me one by one
    Guess I’ll wind up like I always do
    With only

    Me and my shadow
    Strolling down the avenue
    Me and my shadow
    Not a soul to tell our troubles to
    But when it’s twelve a clock
    We climb the stair
    We never knock
    ‘Cause nobody’s there
    Just me and my shadow
    All alone and feeling blue
    And when it’s twelve a clock
    We climb the stair
    We never knock
    ‘Cause nobody’s there
    Just me and my shadow
    All alone and feeling blue”

    Obama is more then welcome at my house. I have a computer and will glad to tell him regularly that while it may not look like it he is in fact running a shadow government. Its so shadowy it appears he is doing nothing but even that is for his protection.

    Shhhh, its a “shadow” government Mr. Obama.

    I fail to see why people are getting chuckles over these kinds of developments: e.g. “isn’t it ironic that just a few months ago … etc.” and that kind of smug rubbish.

    * America is the source of all the world’s evils.
    * National security is not an Obama/Democrat Party concept.
    * All of these measures therefore will be maintained and directed solely against the American people.

    Golly gee, I wonder how this apparatus will be used and what future events might necessitate its use. Hmmmmmm . . .

    BARACK OBAMA: …When you rush these budgets that are a foot high and nobody has any idea what’s in them and nobody has read them.

    RANDI RHODES: 14 pounds it was!

    BARACK OBAMA: Yeah. And it gets rushed through without any clear deliberation or debate then these kinds of things happen. And I think that this is in some ways what happened to the Patriot Act Porkulus. I mean you remember that there was no real debate about that. It was so quick after 9/11 inauguration that it was introduced that people felt very intimidated by the administration.

    Obama, you speak of thyself.

    This is the return to the way things were during the Cold War. The Military Office also had an extensive succession list if the nuclear war that never came arrived and killed most Federal officials. Perhaps they’ll re-start the SAC under Cheyenne Mountain, re-start the Congressional shelter at the Greenbrier Resort and the POTUS one under Camp David.

    FEMA could be replaced with a new civil defense command and no one would complain.

    I think this administration is much more mundane. A 55 gallon drum of botox submerged off a pier in San Fran, a bicycle and a Google Map of an escape route from St. Louis to East St. Louis for the Pizza Guy, and an abandoned shopping cart full of Momjeans under an overpass in Virginia will get these guys through…

    The White House has taken on a wider role in forming a backup government in case a crisis forces officials to leave Washington.

    This has always been the case. During the State of the Union Address all but one Cabinebt Sec is in attendance. Why? Should the unthinkable happen, there is someone in charge.

    Moreover, there are safe rooms, bunkers if you will, in the WH and at the VP residence. Yep, there are safe places to conduct the business of Government.

    Much ado about nothing.

    Agreed.
    Understood.

    But why the need to mention even the one?

    Why not just shut up and let the enemy guess about every possibility, instead of every possibility minus one?

    But, I understand your (good) point.
