#1 Political satire or predictive analysis? Many scenarios or crisis have the potential to lead to paragraph six. This is an example of just one. I see no humour at all, none!

#3 He'd be butchered. There isn't enough LEO in all the US combined that would stop the people from reasserting the Constitution.

Maybe even the Armed Forces would finally wake up and remember their Oath.

I see the world on a trajectory to World War, and I see a HOT Civil War in the US. Left against Right.

Lefties...delenda est!

#5 Maybe Obama [and his ilk] would sleep better at nights if they didn't have so much on their minds. We can help them by sending them packing in 2012. BO will have more time for basketball picks and golf. A win-win situation for all.

#6 Is the purpose of this article to make me feel sorry for this clueless pompous narcissistic empty suit under his desk in the oval office?

Memo to author:

It didn't work, if this were satire, it would be funny, since it is not satire, I just gnash my teeth and circle November 6, 2012 on my calendar. I wouldn't miss watching the election returns that night for anything.

Thank you Chris Matthews, Thank you New York Times, Thank you Daly Political corruption, Thank you Washington Post, Thank you incompetent boob Democratic National Committee for hanging this complete and utter disgrace around our collective necks for four years.

The Republican we elect in 2012 will unfortunately have four years of catastrophic damage to repair. It will be hard work and no fun I actually pity the next President for what he will have to deal with...not to mention the Republican Secretary of State, who in their right mind would take THAT job after the mess this man has created.

AMEN! Too bad none of our politicians nor bureaucrats take the oath - OR the Constitution - seriously. A housecleaning, down to the GS-12 level, is long overdue.

#8 "The constitution was amended, and the U.S. became a police state, just like Ben 'Ali's Tunisia. It matched Mubarak's Egypt in oppression, plundering and hereditary rule, and matched the regime of General [Al-Qadhafi] in populism, blood-thirstiness, and insanity.
"Obama ruled for 50 years, during which the U.S. lost its global status, its economy collapsed, and it started to receive [financial] aid. The land [crawled with] highway robbers and pirates, and the Americans wandered the length and breadth of their country looking for work. Many drowned trying to reach Somalia illegally in rickety boats.

I actually thought this was pretty funny. Biting, but funny.

#9 As I tell my future Son-in-Law who will soon be Honorably Discharged from the Marines. "You took the oath when you enlisted, nothing on your discharge releases you from that oath - it is for life, just like my was".

#11 "You took the oath when you enlisted, nothing on your discharge releases you from that oath - it is for life, just like my was".

Thank you both, sir, that I and mine live both safe and free.

#12 Zero's main support resides in just a few big cities - as New Orleans proved, major cities are easy to kill with just a little concerted effort. No internal power supplies, most lack internal water supplies, and none have over a week's worth of food. So he had better not even consider a martial law scenario or the cities will die in the process.
