Obama Is Too Incompetent To Pull Off A Coup

[TOWNHALL] The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire....
’s failed coup, combined with the disastrous disunity and polarization in the United States thanks to Barack Obama
If you have a small business, you didn't build that...
, have gotten people talking about whether it could happen here. For example, part-time law professor and full-time Instapundit Glenn Reynold has recently taken some serious looks at the issue of coups within the context of the American system of checks and balances. So what if next January Obama and his barely post-puberty band of juice box screw-ups in the West Wing decide they don’t want to leave? And the issue is even more pressing with Donald Trump sneaking up in the polls ‐ Nate Silver gives him a 34% chance of winning, which is up from the approximately 0% chance a whole bunch of people gave him a year ago, your author included. If a couple more disgruntled cop haters with totally obvious unknown motives and a few more [OMITTED] bully boyz go on kill sprees, Trump might well be our next president.

#6  He's just a front man brought out when his handlers need their mouthpiece. ValJar, etal, are the ones to watch.

One eye on ValJar, the other on Brennan. Other puppet masters will surface in time.

Don't believe it. All of Obama's "mistakes" have in in one direction, and are of the Kim Philby / Rules for Radicals variety.

P.S. Checks and balances don't exist anymore.

Yeah, but he has lots of 'help' that are fairly competent at oppressing for fun and profit.

#2  The relevant question here is "What's the opposition?". I'm not optimistic.

#1  True.

When fundraisers and political allies are the only ones appointed to actual REAL WORLD POSITIONS, there is no way you could have even come close to this.

Glad he has no movement at all in international order or dis-order now other than wasting taxpayer money on egghead idiot communist bombthrowers.

He is a waste of skin and bones. And just wait!
Stairway to Heaven by Led Zeppelin will be the closest he hears of it.
