Here’s an idea that Obama might suggest.
Separate the military into two groups...those that support the Obama government—and those who don’t (possible enemies of state).
Colin Powell could handle that nicely.
The new SS can easily be directed to remove small insurrectionist movements.
Non-progressive folks (both military and civilian) are isolated and their resources are withdrawn or blocked off.
What good is a military without funding, materiel/ammunition, and food?
Ergo, the uncooperative parts of the nation are isolated and ready for internment.
We have ammo and weapons...but we need food and water for our children.
Then the Obama SS comes along with trucks and loudspeakers...”just cooperate and we’ll give you what you need. Please don’t resist. We’ll help you. We mean you no harm. We just want to spread the wealth.”
It’s a damn big country. Logistics are against something like that.
The other problem is the economic one. It takes an economy to support the military. Cutting off a good part of the country works against that.
