The scenario I could see play out would be a popular armed coup that would overthrow Congress and the President. I would see the US military participating and leading this coup.

I never thought that I would look forward to such a day, but I am, now. How I wish that an enlightened, Pinochet type (Petraeus?) would send the Congress packing and Obozo back to his community organizing.

Send them packing?...back to community organizing? Something tells me if we were suffer something as traumatic as a coup involving our military that simply sending people back to where they came from isn't going to be a popular option.

If you think the militay would not fire on Americans apparently you have forgotten Detroit and the 82nd, the racial unrest in the South. Troops on schoolhouse steps. MLK’s death, there were troops armed and primed to move into Washington DC with orders to fire on anyone who was firing a weapon,but luckily weren’t needed.
So don’t think the military would be 100% behind you.
