Is the recount the way Obama retains power?

A lot of us have theorized that Obama is indeed power hungry and won't leave the White House willingly. Many have said he might induce some sort of conflict to suspend the election.

Could he still have something up his sleeve with this whole recount business? His staff could end up making up fake stuff that shows Russia interfered with the election, and then he'll use that to invalidate the election results. Obviously after that a lot of protests and downright riots would start from the Conservative side.

Obama could then use the civil unrest to suspend the election, declare martial law and remain as ruler (yes not leader, ruler) of the United State. Scary scenario for sure.

No shot. I honestly think he's pretty ready to get the hell out at this point.

I'm just saying, with the way this election is going with the whole recount business, is it that much of a stretch?

Even Obama sees all the Red on that Map; he pushes it to the limit, but he knows what happens if he goes beyond the line. Martial Law and de facto Dictatorship would be way beyond the limit. Hell, Glenn Beck got a HALF MILLION Patriots up on the Mall when most of this Progressive Coup stuff was just speculation. You'll see the real Reactionary line in the sand if they try to steal this Election.

Yeah at this point I think he's just done.

He'll be a pain in our arse for years. But not from the Oval.

No.

He would be removed from the White House. By force, if necessary.

He will have a Republican Senate and House. He doesn't want to deal with that.

You're presuming he'd be ok destroying the country and his legacy as one of its leaders. That's a big stretch. He appears to be the only democrat that's being reasonable post election. Why? To preserve his legacy as the first black president.

Obama is lazy and is ready as can be to leave the White House so he can take his 35th vacation.

No. Obama does not have the support of law enforcement, national guard and the US military. He would need those to enforce any retention of power. President-elect Trump could promise a blanket pardon to all members to refuse orders.

Obama does not voluntarily leave, his tenure is over per the Constitution. Once the CJ of SCOTUS swears in Trump, game over for Obama. DJT could then order the invasion of the White House and place BHO in federal prison on treason charges.

Obama has no power to remain in office. Checks and balances.

Yep. Just been twiddling his thumbs, laughing with his buddies in congress for the past few years...

Is that why his approval ratings are at a 7-year high?

And also, that guy can't wait to get out of that office!
