Last Friday, President Obama made his way through Rhode Island and New York in an effort to raise money for Democrats who will be running in the coming midterm elections. Obama spoke at two events benefiting the Democratic National Committee. The first event was a closed-door round table with about 25 supporters paying as much as $32,400 apiece, and the second, was an event comprised of about 250 supporters who paid $15,000 or more per couple.

The New York Times said the following about the events that transpired:

Why not just declare Martial Law!

Suspend those pesky ol’ election things... He knows you really want him to stay in office.

And, perhaps, CW II will follow shortly thereafter. Keep your powder dry just in case.

Goes show you that if you have a lot of money it doesn’t necessarily mean you are smart. But it also goes to show you how inculcated these RAT’s are with The Won and the notion that he can just “declare” shit and it will happen.

Constitution of the Weimar Republic, Article 48 covered the declaration of emergencies.

Precisely how Chancellor Hitler became der fuehrer.

And don’t think they aren’t thinking of it.

Nobody suggested this to him. He came up with it himself. It’s his classic straw man. He raises it, modestly says “aw shucks, no.” And then waits for his minions in the national democrat/communist media/entertainment/academic propaganda complex to understand the proper signal and start pushing it.

It’s all very Stalinist.

Obama’s saving this option for a few weeks before the 2016 presidential election; then he can declare himself President for Life and kick out all remaining political opposition.

Not just “someone” who suggested it. Someone who has the influence to pay fifteen thousand dollars for the opportunity to suggest it.

That’s assuming it was actually suggested, and not (as another just said) a straw man the Obama made up to frame the idea in a presentable & suggestive form.

That poster would be complete with the symbols sitting on a rainbow arch.

He has to be internally conflicted with his competing inclinations and the demands on him from his billionaire masters combined with possible STD caused health problems mixed with innate arrogance and narcissism.

It would be fun to see foreign government profiles of him.
