Is there anyone who seriously doubts that Obama is preparing to cancel the election and declare martial law to stop Trump?

The guy isn’t even to trying to hide his tyrannical impulses anymore.

Yeah, a free press is “healthy,” especially when it acts as a sycophantic house organ for him and his RAT party.

Of course the Non-American Free Press is frustrating, Herr Obama, my Beloved Leader of Idiots. But don't worry Herr Obama, my Beloved Leader of Idiots, the American Free Press has your back and still fawns over every lie you tell with such great oratory skills.

I don’t understand why OBUNGHOLE would find the presstitutes frustrating; they agree with everything he says and does, no matter how ILLEGAL or UN-AMERICAN.

You mean the “free press” that submits its articles to the Democrat National Committee and your White House for prior approval, don’t you, 0bama?

Seeking more media cover for what he ultimately has in mind.

It scares me what he could do.
