Will Obama Pull an LBJ and Drop Out?
Breitbart's Big Government ^ | Mike Flynn

Posted on 05/24/2012 5:58:12 AM PDT by netmilsmom

In 1968, the political world was shocked when President Lyndon Johnson, running for reelection just four years after a landslide victory, was held beneath 50% of the vote in the Democrat primary in New Hampshire. Sen. Eugene McCarthy scored a shocking 41.5% of the vote against the incumbent President.

The result confirmed Johnson's weakness going into the November general election. Within weeks, Sen. Robert Kennedy announced he would seek the Democrat nomination for President and Johnson announced that he would not. LBJ was bowing out of his reelection bid.

Today, the Obama reelection campaign is reeling from his disastrous performance in the Democrat primaries in Arkansas and Kentucky.

How do you even know the absentee ballot flood in WI is from Democrats, or or if it is consisting of illegal ballots?

Aren’t these ballots ALL subject to verification anyway?

And given Walker has a lead with just under 2 weeks to go why isn’t it possible and even likely the enthusiasm is on the side of the Republicans? Didn’t they turn out in really HUGE numbers to vote in a primary which was essentially uncontested on the Republican side?

“Who is going to enforce it? The military? Won’t happen? The NBPP?

We heard this during Clinton and Bush43. Obama might take some china and destroy a few computers on the way out, like the Clintons did, but there isn’t going to be martial law. That’s just crazy talk.”

Well Crazy talk or not, I intend to be as ready as I can. as is my right. The same thing was said In Germany in about 1937 so you do as you wish and I will do the same. I hope I am wrong but if not....in any case I have no intention to argue anything with you.

Agreed, this forum is beginning to look like a RW version of DU with all the conspiracy nonsense.

You are right about knowing where zero stands. Hillary on the other hand is much more devious.
We have forgotten how we used to pillory Hillary.

Is Kenya a non-extradition country? If he flees post-election, the House could bring up charges of treason and fraud, indict him in providing false information for his candidacy, declare his presidency null and roll back 4 years of Hell. Obama would never see the inside of a cell since he’s a billionaire living it up in Kenya.

More pie-in-the-sky, but it’s nice to dream.

Don’t know if Kenya is a non extradition country or not.
I don’t see the house doing anything. Haven’t done anything yet and boner is holding everything back.

Plus, I really can’t see them prosecuting any dimrat after they have left office. Might be bad form and all that.

The Bush Administration gave Sheriff Arpaio access to Alien Registration files at DHS. The Obama Administration terminated Arpaios access to the Alien Registration files in December, 2011.

Obama naturalized as a US Citizen in 1983. Obama will have to withdraw from the 2012 election.

Drop out???

Not in a million years.

If the party decided to replace him on the ticket they would have to use the “jaws of life” to remove him.

“Will Obama Pull an LBJ and Drop Out?”

Not unless his handlers threaten him with death. If it’s simply his wife and kids, then the idiot would use it to get the symathy vote.

Mooch’s Marie Antoinette attitudes won’t let him/them quit.

Mantoinette doesn't actually like playing the part of First Lady at all, or any lady for that matter. She's more comfortable living in Chicago wallowing in envy than living in a white house being the target of envy. With Hitlery in the wings, she is absolutely terrified of flying anywhere in the same aircraft with Bobo.

The Undocumented Coffee Server is quite irrelevant.

The Central-Committee has already selected their Mandate-Man from Massachusetts to either begin implementation of the 10 trillion big steal, and/or start spending for another war.

“I truly believe that martial law will be declared”

Who is going to enforce it? The military? Won’t happen? The NBPP? We heard this during Clinton and Bush43. Obama might take some china and destroy a few computers on the way out, like the Clintons did, but there isn’t going to be martial law. That’s just crazy talk.

Consider, perhaps Homeland Security, ICE, & the TSA with their 450 million rounds of 40 caliber HOLLOW POINT ammo currently on order? See this

I wonder why they feel compelled to order HOLLOW POINTS when the Law of Armed Conflict (Rules of War - DoDD 5100.77, DoD Law of War Program) specifically prohibits them? If this ammo is illegal to use in a war against other sovereign enemies, who exactly is this ammo being manufactured to use against?

As a sunset in the east...so goes another birther prediction.
