The White Houses late-week release of an executive order has sent the online community into an uproar, worried that President Obama had secretly provided himself means to institute martial law in America.

Sorry for the typos. Must be this keyboard. :^)
Considering the source I am not too worried as WND does not have a very good track record in my opinion.
Please, we can only hope he tries to suspend the election. It would be the end of the Demon-rat party.
Can he do it? Yes. Will he do it? He is dumb enough to do so
As much talk as the GOP at the Fed level puts out...when it comes to countering Obama...they wimp out (ObamaCare, Birth Certificate/Eligibility). Same with those who are posting on here that allude to Obama doing such as “Conspiracy Theory”...same ones who gave Obama a pass on eligibility. The Fed Level GOP, and their supporters, would roll over for Obama
The one thing that would prevent an Obama Exec Order to suspend elections is that the State and local jurisdictions do have a lot of rights when it comes to conducting elections. and, tend to have more backbone to stand up to Obama. Also, there would not be enough manpower to enforce an Obama X Order dealing with the election
Simply...Obama probably would not get away with an X order dealing w elections...but only a fool or liberal would think he would not try...and no one Fed Level will stop him.
Even if knuckled head Obama did declare a nationwide martial law ....
Do you actually think such a thing could be implemented...?
When it is all said and done we are a nation of 50 sovereign states....DC declare Martial Law and a vast majority of the Governors would ....yawn....
Really this whole thread should be pulled for sheer stupidity of the idea...
You forgot to annotate your remark as sarcasm.
Consta-what? What is that?

Section 1. The executive Power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America. He shall hold his Office during the Term of four Years, and, together with the Vice President, chosen for the same Term, be elected, as follows Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors, equal to the whole Number of Senators and Representatives to which the State may be entitled in the Congress: but no Senator or Representative, or Person holding an Office of Trust or Profit under the United States, shall be appointed an Elector.
The Congress may determine the Time of choosing the Electors, and the Day on which they shall give their Votes; which Day shall be the same throughout the United States.
No. The vote goes on, as scheduled.
The idea that this nasty incompetent fool could take military control is laugh provoking.
The messiah has allowed international tankers into NY harbor to deliver gasoline as an invite to the jihadists and a recipe for a terrorist attack and an excuse to institute martial law and postpone elections, just saying.
go back into hiding.......your negativism is not needed nor wanted and its highly suspicious of Dumbunderground....
My reaction at the time was that he wouldn't, not because he lacked the desire or the scruples, but simply because he didn't believe he would be able to get away with it.
My sense here is much the same. If Obama felt he could somehow implement and get away with it, he would not hesitate to do so, but I suspect at present, the most sober of his advisers would caution him against even attempting it.
Besides, they've been working on their election fraud plans far too long to let them be for naught.
Beware Blog Pimps, all it does is drive site traffic and line their pockets. Once the election is over they will change with the prevailing breeze and go in a new direction.
Folks you need to understand how the Internet is different from MSM. They live and die with advertising, as we say “go where the eyes are” With the explosion in use of the Internet and Smartphones and digital media distribution it is no surprise to me what is going on here.
When you visit these sites they make money, period. You may (or may not) find useful info here but if they can keep you coming back with the latest version of “porn” then they are working you like a cheap whore. Alexa, the main ranking service for web site traffic is what motivates them and as long as you feed the Lion they will keep pumping the crap.
This is reality and the wave of the future but you have to look at their track record, are they acting like a store checkout magazine with the latest hot gossip or are they a solid source of trusted info? It is the same decision, now made digitally about deciding to buy or not buy a copy of the NYT and trusting them to drive what you think.
This is my business and much more beyond it, but as long as you act like an animal that likes to be sheared on a regular basis they will keep doing the same thing.
Have you actually read Obama’s Executive Order, dated March 2012?
Here it is from the WH:
Sounds like you posted after your third martini, so I will forgive your hurtful and rude comment, just this once.
if the storm hit the shores on election day he might have had an excuse. But not now. He isn’t king he needs other people to back him on something like that.
My remarks are not sarcastic.
Thank you for posting that information—I was trying to find time to look it up.
