Restore the Readiness of the National Guard and Reserves

* Barack Obama will provide the National Guard with the equipment it needs for foreign and domestic emergencies and time to restore and refit before deploying. He will make the head of the National Guard a member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff to ensure concerns of our citizen soldiers reach the level they mandate. He will ensure that reservists and Guard members are treated fairly when it comes to employment, health, and education benefits.

Develop Whole of Government Initiatives to Promote Global Stability

* Integrate Military and Civilian Efforts: An Obama administration will build up the capacity of each non-Pentagon agency to deploy personnel and area experts where they are needed, to help move soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines out of civilian roles.
* Create a Civilian Assistance Corps (CAC): An Obama administration will set a goal of creating a national CAC of 25,000 personnel. This corps of civilian volunteers with special skill, sets (doctors, lawyers, engineers, city planners, agriculture specialists, police, etc.) would be organized to provide each federal agency with a pool of volunteer experts willing to deploy in times of need at home and abroad.

Restore Our Alliances

* Engage Our Allies in Meeting Our Common Security Challenges: America’s traditional alliances, such as NATO, must be transformed and strengthened, including on common security concerns like Afghanistan, homeland security, and counterterrorism. Obama will renew alliances and ensure our allies contribute their fair share to our mutual security.
* Organize to Help Our Partners and Allies in Need: An Obama administration will expand humanitarian activities that build friends and allies at the regional and local level (such as during the response to the tsunami in South and Southeast Asia), and win hearts and minds in the process.

Reform Contracting

* Create Transparency for Military Contractors: Barack Obama will require the Pentagon and State Department to develop a strategy for determining when contracting makes sense, rather than continually handing off governmental jobs to well-connected companies. An Obama administration will create the transparency and accountability needed for good governance. Finally, it will establish the legal status of contractor personnel, making possible prosecution of any abuses committed by private military contractors.
* Restore Honesty, Openness, and Commonsense to Contracting and Procurement: An Obama administration will realize savings by reducing the corruption and cost overruns that have become all too routine in defense contracting. This includes launching a program of acquisition reform and management, which would end the common practice of no-bid contracting. He will end the abuse of supplemental budgets by creating a system of oversight for war funds as stringent as in the regular budget. He will restore the government’s ability to manage contracts by rebuilding our contract officer corps. He will order the Justice Department to prioritize prosecutions that will punish and deter fraud, waste and abuse.
LOL @ Earth Needs Oil! Thanx for the belly laugh your response gave me!

Footie Fan asked:


How can you support a player that dives, never shows up in big games, is overrated by the English Media, plays in a league with no defense? He scores all his goals from set-pieces. He never gets a goal outside of the box that is not a set piece. his skills are learned. Can he get a goal like Messi did against Getafe? Anyone can do tricks and flicks and CR7 plays on a team that uses catenaccio. He failed in all of his big games (Man U -Chelsea, Milan-Man U, Barca-Man U, Portugal-France, etc). Come on, he scores against Derby and Wigan but when he plays Barcelona or Milan he can’t do anything. The UCL final will be no different. Cr7 has never won a Champions League or any award outside of England!!! How can we crown him as the best?? Messi has already won a champions league and the best under 20 player from fifa. DONT FORGET THAT HE FINISHED IN 2nd place where as CR7 finished in 3rd place for the FPOY!!!! Don’t be fooled by goals. Henry scored a ton of goals and he never won anything.

steelmanok asked:


In the state of Oklahoma can you collect unemployment if you were fired? I was fired from a sales position because I was not good enough at sales and could not hit the goals they set for me. I’m sure if I had been fired for attendance or something like that I could not collect but I just did not have the right skills set for a sales job.

Any comments would be a big help! Thanks in advanced
