I don't think Obama is smart enough to even understand that NO ONE can stop him doing anything he wants!!!
The military is being decapitated bit by bit as competent and/or patriotic officers are forced out to be replaced by homosexuals and other "reliable" types and will probably present no resistance though, as a Leftist, he will remain uneasy about the military until he has reduced it to token status and replaced it internally with his new Red ArmyCivilian Defense Force. That is pretty much how it happened in Russia in 1917 and after with the difference that our own Lenin has not had to storm the Winter Palace. We elected him. Lenin reneged on all Russia's foreign commitments and even ceded territory as part of the process of eliminating the perceived threat from the military. Olenin is doing the same and probably does not oppose the "Fiscal Cliff." He can blame the gut shot to the economy on the Republicans and he cripples the military, especially the Navy. Our enemies will surge in the world and Europe will probably collapse to be overrun by Mohammedans. If invasion and occupation does not happen then the contraction will leave Olenin room to consolidate his power internally and begin to confiscate industries to "save jobs." And so it goes.
