Not sure of posting rules for the Post. But this is George Will doing what George Will does best.

Never in my life have I seen or experienced such an avalanche of lousy leadership. What is stunning is that we are supposed to just stand there and keep taking it, or be called racists, Koch drunk, right wing lunatics, swiftboaters, or psychopaths all wee-wee’d up who won’t eat our peas in the back of the bus.

I did a search but didn’t find it. Feel free to delete.
No criticism of you intended. We all know that FR’s search feature has limited value (not that I think we should pay for a programmer who could do better).
Not to change the subject but that quote reminded me of Pope Francis I.
I think we should all be prepared for something none of us ever could have imagined. Obama has militarized every federal agency, appointed his lapdog generals/officer corp, has the press clearly in his back pocket, and no opposition from congress to hold him and the administration accountable. I don’t know in what form it will come, but my gut tells me it will start with drone strikes and escalate from there.
I would bet that these latest “scandals”, VA, Bergdahl/Taliban swap, outing the CIA station chief, and the renewed interest in Benghazi, have him just absolutely livid to the point where he may become completely unhinged as the next shoes begin to drop.
If his democrat lackeys turn on him it is only because they fear that they will lose the chance to completely transform the US into socialist European style of government which they have all bought into but were slow playing it, but none of them expected that Obama would move this agenda so swiftly.
I hope I’m wrong...
The Nevada BLM disaster put them on notice. They can buy all the guns-n-ammo they want. Pissin in the wind.
Obama had Fundamentally changed America for the WORSE!!
What I find really funny is that the Obama situation model now mandates a new scandal to mask the last.
That is a good one. I couldn’t agree more about Pope Francis.
You are not wrong.
This should not be surprising. Anyone who studied the history of Marxist leaders and movements who achieved power at the level Obama and the Democrats have - knows that without exception - they transform the government into a weapon that is used to eradicate all opposition and the targets of such a regime.
Economic punishment is followed by Food and water used as weapons, then the criminalization and arrests begin.
What did we really think the billions of rounds of hollow point ammo, the MRAPs, APCs and machine guns were for?
The signs are all there. An iron fist and a genocide is coming.
Did no one here watch or read what Grathwol had to say what the people who got Obama into power planned to do to millions of Americans?
We suffered a velvet MarxoFascist coup folks. They are playing for keeps. The Republic is GONE. You and I do not figure into their future.
Plan accordingly.
I posted this scenario a few weeks ago.
Obama will be term-limited out of the White House in 2016, but he has already hinted that he will "stay in Washington DC" after his presidency is over.What he will do is "organize" his civilian force that will have been weaponized by the time he leaves office.
Obama will arise as a leader in exile with his own loyal military, and he will challenge the incoming President with the threat of real force at some point early in the next administration.
Thinking about it further, it explains all the weapons, ammo, body vests, and armor requests from the BLM, USDA, IRS, Social Security, NOAA, and other bureaucratic outfits not expected to be heavily armored.
When Obama is ready, he will make a loyalty call to anyone from these government jobs who supports him, and will mobilize a militarized insurgency within all 50 states. He doesn't need a centralized army, he will have enough force in each state that matters, enough to scare.
Most recently militarized...

“Unforced errors,” as they say in tennis.
The Army Records system has been broken since 1986 and has not been fixed according to this article:
and this call by Congress to the Army:
http://www.propublica.org/article/congressmen-to-hagel-where-are-the-missing-war-records
I’ve been saying for five years that there is not a single agency in government that has not been politicized by the WH rats.
The USDA will be used to stamp out all the urban and suburban homesteaders who want to grow and raise their own food as well as small independent growers. ALL food production MUST be controlled and distributed by the central government — no exceptions.
Heavy regulations with penalties will come first but there will be a lot of hold-outs, thus the need for the body armor and weapons.
That is an interesting scenario, but one that ignores some current facts that may negate the way you illustrate it.
Since Obama is flagrantly ignoring the Constitution, making his own laws by decree, circumventing all other branches of government, and doing so WITH the help of the media and the consent of Congress and the Judiciary -
- there is very little need for Obama to step down via term limits in 2016. Who will stop him? Who will challenge this defacto dictator from declaring that “The Founders would agree that in this time of crisis that we should not have any change in leadership”?? I mean did Schumer not just say yesterday that “Jefferson would agree that the First Amendment is not absolute”??
ONE major Jihadist attack or a single major upheaval event in the USA between now and 2016 - Obama would assert that excuse to remain in power ‘for the good of the people’.
I think Obama would lose any ‘legitimate-sounding’ excuse to rule if he steps down.
That said - I do not think he is concerned with being in power as much as he is concerned about taking us down and destroying us from within.
If the MarxoFascists think that they need more time to put down Americans - I think your scenario would make sense in terms of Obama continuing to aid the Marxofascists on the side with Hillary in the White House continuing the destruction.
I believe Obama is a Trojan Horse and always has been.
Some points...
1. The United States held elections during the Civil War, both World Wars, the Vietnam war, and both Gulf wars. The arguments at the time were about letting the American people decide what the direction should be? In 2004, it was about deciding whether the people supported Bush and staying in Iraq, or Kerry and changing direction. Obama should not presume that we don't want a change in leadership, he should be asking the people if they want a change in leadership. Making an argument today that the times are too tough to change leadership stands in opposition to all of our prior history.
2. Elections for President are State affairs. The answer to the question of "who will stop him" is the states will stop him. All it will take is for someone to declare their candidacy, and for states to hold their own separate elections between candidates. Once the Electoral College produces a winner, the question will be whether Obama recognizes that winner as the new President, or if he chooses to deny by force the newly elected President from taking power. Obama will not have a ruling power over the sovereign states to prevent them from holding their own elections. There are too many "red" states to expect all the governors and legislatures to just roll over and take it.
That's why I don't expect the flash point to be the 2016 election. That would be too overt and emotional. I expect the flash point to occur after the election, when Obama has a chance to organize his militarized insurgency from the staffers of the bureaucracies that he armed. All Obama will need is for the new president to begin to overturn his legacy changes, and Obama will strike.

We cannot continue to operate in a state of Normalcy Bias.
We suffered a coup.
History teaches that you cannot stop tyrants or those who perpetrated a coup by civil means.
The states could adopt and pass every Amendment in Levin’s book to stop the Federal Beast - and it will mean nothing because this regime has already demonstrated that it will not abide by the Rule of Law.
It will use force to impose it’s will and destroy anyone it thinks is a threat to itself.
Such is the nature of tyrants, and the nature of coups.
