As far as those ... "surrounding him still have enough common sense ...", name 1.

Well, I understand your perspective.

By common sense, I mean they are smart enough to figure out that if Zero attempted anything like that, it would be all over for them.

Maybe I meant self-interest.

It’s self-preservation and power perks.

I don’t see Nancy Pelosi or Dingy Harry or the rest of the dem majority letting Obama usurp their authority.

And I don’t see Obama trusting the military enough to try using them in a coup.

And it’s far too late to raise his private brownshirt army.
