Retired General: Some in Military Want To 'Take Out' Obama from Presidency...

A retired three star Flag Officer recently stated he knows of certain unnamed individuals within the Armed Forces of having at least considered the possibility of an armed coup d'état aimed directly at of Barack Obama, as reported by the on-line news portal Government Executive on Nov. 4, 2013.

(GOVERNMENT EXECUTIVE) -- A former top general and current executive at the Family Research Council says members of the military have considered staging a coup d'état against president, but will not because of civilian control of the military.

"People I've spoken to would like to see the military 'fulfill their constitutional duty and take out the president,' " retired Army Lt. Gen. William Boykin told World Net Daily, a website best known for pushing Obama "birther" conspiracy theories. "Our Constitution puts a civilian in charge of the military and as a result a coup would not be constitutional. You're not going to see a coup in the military."

"I talk to a lot of folks who don't support where Obama is taking the military, but in the military they can't say anything," Boykin said.

“...would like to see the military ‘fulfill their constitutional duty and take out the president,’”

In the next sentence, he talks about the Constitution putting civilians in charge of the military.

I call BS. There’s no way the general could be that confused about the Constitution.

An Obama suck up needs to make the king believe the king’s paranoid delusions are real.

A Better Way to Get Rid of Obama

1. Offer him a golf course where he can play for free for life, one on each coast, and and additional one on each continent. 2. Name ten bath houses after him, and give him free access for life 3. Promise him he can address the nation once per year where he can us the words "I" up to 500 times, and the word "ah" up to 1000 times. 4. Promise he can have separate quarters from the diet dictator 5. Buy him a club membership that includes Soros, Bill Ayers, Louis Fharakkan, and any other people who hate the United States. 6. Have the name of Kenya changed to "Barry No Born Here". 7. Name Obama the Hawaiian state bird. 8. Declare all records of his to be sealed, then destroyed. 9. Leave some camel dung crumbs leading out of the White House three days straight (should do it) 10. Promise he can get all the free (African like) robes he wants for life. 11. Promise to name at least 500 public facilities after him. (Bathrooms and city dumps count, but we don't have to say that up front) 12. Promise his face goes on the next silver dollar. Then never make any more.

Planted story to get the democrat fascist faithful to the barricades for the coming election.

It's also a wonderful excuse for the media to use when expelling why Caliph Obama doesn't employ the military anywhere or at least not take the advice of military leaders.

Caliph Obama knows the military needs a major house cleaning since so many military leaders are obviously political, unreliable, madmen who might overthrow the Constitution just any day. Exactly the sort of horrible people the democrat machine has always portrayed them as being.

Obama is inept, and everyone knows it. Military members have to grit their teeth knowing what damage he is deliberately and naively doing with his decisions. They have sworn to protect and defend against all enemies , foreign and domestic. They know an enemy when they see one, and Obama rates as the #1 enemy of the United States.

They can't speak out while in the service, but you can bet that their time will come when they are out. Obama’s legacy will be the worst in history, and these brave service members will gladly help write the list of reasons why this will be so.

Bless them all.

I have been afraid of this scenario for several years. The Obama Administration is a mess, and everybody knows it. But if he got assassinated, then he’d become a martyr for his puppetmasters. They think his “black base” would start Civil War II, because the Old Media would deify him and turn him into a saint.
But it won’t work that way, because we are as tired of his lies and manipulations as you are. Where are the “shovel ready jobs” that were promised to working-class men of all colors? I am so JPT. I despise Obama and his handlers, but I pray for his safety. Because his fate is tied to that of our people and our nation. And by “our people” I mean Americans in the USA. All of us.

Obama is going to be with us until 2016.

America elected the guy and we deserve him and we deserve what we are getting.

The only way he will be impeached is if and overwhelming percentage of the American people demand he be impeached and the Democrats beg the Republicans to remove him.

Obama has known right from the start that he would be in open conflict with much of the American public by really in his second term due to his war from above on the middle class of America and it's institutions while in office.

If you look closely, you will find that he planned to import massive numbers of illegal immigrants to dilute the opposition vote with government dependent illegals to maintain his electoral majority despite massive opposition to his policies. He has also been working had to replace the existing military leadership with partisan, like minded Generals loyal to him

As a military officer, I administer re-enlistment oaths to enlisted and advancement oaths to officers. Enlisted personnel take an oath to obey the orders of the president, officers do not. The founding fathers believed that military officers would be the last people to defend the constitution in the face of tyranny. Officers only take an oath to defend the constitution.
