What do you think George Walker Bush was referencing in the SOTU-"army of compassion"?

Any ideas, DU?

Is that like the forces involved in George Walker Bush's "freedom is on the march" (so similar to "Arbeit macht frei")-what is George Walker Bush's "army of compassion"???

Is it part of George Walker Bush's "Global War on Terrorism"???

Help me out here, what is this "army of compassion" George Walker Bush referenced in his SOTU last night?

:tinfoilhat:

In his crooked sick mind.

"Click. Message received. Click. Destroy all humans."

It's for own good, you know.

besides himself. It's nothing but pretty sounding words. He doesn't know what true compassion is, so he can't reference anything to it.

tried to launch that at one of the other SOTU speeches?

For some reason I think it might have been floated along with the "give the Afgani Children $1" campaign. -

I'll have to go search.

I think he was trying to build his "legacy"-

:shrug:

Our fourth goal is to apply the compassion of America to the deepest problems of America. For so many in our country – the homeless, the fatherless, the addicted – the need is great. Yet there is power – wonder-working power – in the goodness, and idealism, and faith of the American people.

Americans are doing the work of compassion every day – visiting prisoners, providing shelter to battered women, bringing companionship to lonely seniors. These good works deserve our praise ... they deserve our personal support ... and, when appropriate, they deserve the assistance of our government. I urge you to pass both my faith-based initiative and the Citizen Service Act – to encourage acts of compassion that can transform America, one heart and one soul at a time.

Last year, I called on my fellow citizens to participate in USA Freedom Corps, which is enlisting tens of thousands of new volunteers across America. Tonight I ask Congress and the American people to focus the spirit of service and the resources of government on the needs of some of our most vulnerable citizens – boys and girls trying to grow up without guidance and attention ... and children who have to go through a prison gate to be hugged by their mom or dad. I propose a 450 million dollar initiative to bring mentors to more than a million disadvantaged junior high students and children of prisoners. Government will support the training and recruiting of mentors, yet it is the men and women of America who will fill the need. One mentor, one person, can change a life forever – and I urge you to be that one person.
