So How Lucky Is BHO?

[twyacht]

So at Marquette Univ, WI, today BHO touted the "need" to listen to the PEOPLE of Egypt, and resolve to a transition of CHANGE.....

It is a "historical and pivotal point in history",.........

Gee,......I wonder what would happen if we the "PEOPLE",...just kinda showed up in DC and simply, peacefully stated:

TIME TO GO BHO!!!

and instead of a "one day rally" , "We The People",....just kinda stayed around demanding "CHANGE"......

Kinda makes you go Hmmmmmm,.....

First would be the cops, then the military.

That is one ox that will never be gored.

Which way would the Military jump though ?  Your making the same stupid assumption that the anti Gorby coup plotters made in '91.
Nearly all non military coups hinge on that question and the Govt always assumes the troops will fire on the population they were recruited from.
It's not a smart bet.

Are you kidding me? He'd wait two weeks and bluster, threaten and then give a gracious speech saying "so long suckers"! Honestly, when the poo hit the fan in October of 2008 both he and McCain thought "Oh Crap!, now what"? I am reasonably certain that if he was "forced" to resign he would go willingly, thinking that his place in history as a leader who listened to the people was secured, and letting our current crisis be someone else's mess.

Did you spend your off time doing acid ? Or smoking crack ?
That egocentric azzhole would try to spin it as a show of why the people needed him to lead them until some one actually started hoisting on the rope and cut of his BS and air.

#1 WTF? Calling me stupid is uncalled for and callow....and it's "you're" not "your".   

#2 As much as it sickens me, BHusseinO is the Commader in Chief.  Our soldiers follow orders.
Look at the stupid orders they have followed in Viet Nam, Panama, etc.

The American military has killed Amercan citizens before. Remember Kent State? Didn't matter then, but it matters now?

From Wiki: The Kent State shootings—also known as the May 4 massacre or Kent State massacre—occurred at Kent State University in the city of Kent, Ohio, and involved the **shooting of unarmed college students by members of the Ohio National Guard on Monday, May 4, 1970. The guardsmen fired 67 rounds over a period of 13 seconds, killing four students and wounding nine others, one of whom suffered permanent paralysis.

Some of the students who were shot had been protesting against the American invasion of Cambodia, which President Richard Nixon announced in a television address on April 30. Other students who were shot had been walking nearby or observing the protest from a distance.

A claim of "national security" is made and orders are given - it isn't a far stretch. 

Cops in gun hating states will arrest you for having a gun even though they know damn well what the Bill of Rights says.


**"unarmed college students"  - some were allegedly throwing rocks.
That can be construed as deadly force, but they shot unarmed, non-rock throwing students as well.

If an order is illegal or immoral the obligation of the military is to refuse.  Shooting into a crowd, unprovoked, would fall under both.

Bad example, shotting into the crowd wasn't ordered action by the leadership.
Kent State students were not only throwing rocks but returning the tear gas.  Yes one trigger happy soldier popped a shot and the rest fired, since they didn't know where the shots were coming from.  At the time the shots could have been coming from the crowd. 

Vietnam and Panama are also horrible examples.  The orders at the time made sense to those giiving them and carrying them out.  You can armchair general all you want but unless you were there you can't say the orders were stupid.  Mistakes may have been made.

Dude!  Put down the caffeine and back away from the keyboard.  Calm down a little. 

He said that your assumption was stupid, not that you were stupid.  Big difference.

P.S.  If you want to spend your time nitpicking grammatical or spelling errors around here, you are going to have to quit your day job.
