Well, doesn’t take a rocket scientist: he is married to Hummi or Humma or whatever her name is... You remember: her family is Muslime Brotherhood bigwigs, and is formerly (perhaps still is) Hillary’s little girl-toy.
These pols have been bought and paid for, skinned and stuffed, and are sock-puppets for the islamists.
The scarier scenerio is that the government controls the military, which has the best WMD's available. Unless they (the military) pull a coup, there is no citizen uprising that can stand against them head-to-head. That is why zero and company are weeding out the top brass and replacing them with ones they control.
Looks like Pre-WWII Nazi Germany all over again, but this time they've learned from their earlier mistakes...
