Barack Obama

btw how do you know the military has staged a coup d'état? You turn on the radio in your car and all of the radio stations are either quiet or playing martial music.

Coups don't always involve guns and aren't always unpopular. In undeveloped countries it is not unusual for the army to move in when an 'elected' government is raiding the treasury.

I would argue that 2000 we saw a 'judicial coup d'etat' with the SC deciding on Bush vs Gore to discontinue vote counting in FL.

For it to be called a 'coup' one thing must happen: The head of government must be removed, or the new head of government decided by 'extra electoral processes'.

In this case that is not going to happen.

I am angry, probably angrier than most (bought only by second Johnny red in 10 years) but I still get picky about how words are used.
