Would Obama, use a debt default impasse to declare a state of emergency or Marshal Law ? (Vanity)

I was talking to someone about this before, he's a left winger who believes the world will collapse, the sky will fall, and all bad things will happen if the debt ceiling doesn't get raised, and it got me wondering, with so many looney lefties buying into the B.S. hype, would Obama use this as an excuse to declare Marshal Law or a state of emergency ?
I know it sounds crazy, and hell, I'm not a big conspiracy theory guy, but the media, is on his bandwagon, they are comparing the tea party to terrorists, they are predicting the end of the world on this, what is to keep Obama from declaring some kind of emergency that allows him to usurp the constitution ?
The democrats are already howling for him to invoke an imaginary interpretation of the 14th amendment (and ignoring Article 1 of the same constitution), and move ahead, in a dictatorial manner, with the media at his back, would he or will he try, to declare a state of emergency and move ahead with dictatorial powers ?

If he did, congress would have to be locked up. He would also have to request help from the UN for security forces. I seriously doubt the Goverors of the southern states would put up with this nonsense.

I don’t think there is any step too radical that he could take which would cause the lib msm to turn against him. they are all in and will do/say whatever it takes, no matter how ridiculous it may sound and they’ll do it with a straight face.

No, it will not happen. He would need the support of the military and he lacks it at this point. If tried, the tanks would roll and the Joint Chiefs would rule as a Junta until elections could be held. Not going to happen. Besides—such a move would need leadership—something Obama lacks.

You need them on CX75 P01 Shadows to make weight for IDPA. Long lead time but worth the weight.

I've been saying for 2-3 years he'll orchestrate something that will give him an excuse to declare marshal law and somehow declare himself dictator right before the election.

massive internal uprising And boy king obama is fomenting this every time he goes on TV. Listen very carefully to his words - are these the words of a unifier??
No, but neither have I seen massive riots in every major city, on a daily basis with building burned, and people dying in the streets. (which is what it would take for a president to declare martial law without being tared and feathered for it) So if that's his goal, he's failing miserably. It's kind of difficult to fomment an uprising, when your "base" tends to be shiftless and lazy and would rather sit in front of the TV with a beer, because it's just to darn hot to leave the air conditioning and go out and riot, even for Obama.

I still believe that in December, 2012, Obama will create some pretext to seize power and void the November election loss.

Still, I would monitor domestic US military movements, and particularly D.C. National Guard and adjacent state National Guards, for anything out of the ordinary. And there are multiple ways of doing this, not to mention you can take it to the banks that from within the ranks of our patriotic United States military, Loose Lips Sink Obama. There are just too many patriotic Americans to even consider carrying out an unconstitutional order from the Commander to enforce unconstitutional measures and the usurping of the powers of other Federal branches of government by the Executive Branch.
Don't you DARE shove next Wednesday as a "last chance" in our face as a fait d'accompli, Imposter Kenyan? Got it? You are playing with fire my friend.

If you expect to see riots in the streets, think about what would happen if he announced that there would be no welfare checks because the evil republicans have blocked them. Would that then give him an excuse to declare martial law?

My sincere hope is that should he be stupid enough to try something like that there would be no “marshals” willing to enforce it.

Same stories circulated about Reagan, Nixon and LBJ - there just wasn't a net to send then around the planet in milliseconds.

From what I have determined, we are still under martial law since Congress never rescinded it after 9-ll. You don't get out much, do you?
