The US right's derangement over President Obama has reached a new nadir, with a columnist on the right-wing news site Newsmax calling for a military coup to solve "the Obama problem".
There is a remote, although gaining, possibility America’s military will intervene as a last resort to resolve the “Obama problem.” Don’t dismiss it as unrealistic.

Unthinkable? Then think up an alternative, non-violent solution to the Obama problem. Just don’t shrug and say, “We can always worry about that later.”
