Obama will look even more lost until some action is taken just like Trump is proposing.
@beastmode: If you listen to the conspiracy theorists on the far Right they'll tell you that Obama's people already have this as a master plan where he'll enact martial law, bring in UN peacekeepers, and suspend the next Presidential election. Â
Prior to Katrina and the Boston Marathon bombing I would have laughed wholeheartedly at such nonsense.  I still don't believe it will happen, but I'm no longer laughing.  Of course the National Guard was sent into NOLA for search and rescue, but they went in pretty heavily armed and no one outside the immediate area really said boo about it.  Police and military heavily armed and in a tactical posture moving through neighborhoods in an American city enforcing a curfew and we were ok with that because it was what?  For the overall good?  Like that's not a slippery slope. During the man-hunt that followed the Boston bombing, residents in the area received reverse-911 calls telling them to shelter-in-place until the authorities could get control of the situation.  As with NOLA, a curfew was set and enforced.  Again, no one pushed back.  No one raised a flag.  Everyone just sat quietly in their homes like they were told without questioning upon whose authority those directions were given because it was for the overall good.By definition neither are martial law, but setting a precedence where the government at any level can set a curfew on free adult Americans on US soil gives me pause, if not outright concern. 4951
