An interesting bit of morning reading:

It always makes me wonder with these 'overthrow Obama' and 'civil war' enthusiasts in the US, what do they intend on replacing Obama with? No-one would be able to agree on a single candidate and Congress would spend the rest of its short existence fighting itself over it. So perhaps you send in the military? Well, that's good...but do you really think they'd be willing to hand the power back over at the end of it?
Sometimes, you don't realise just how lucky you are to have something until you don't have it, in this case it is a stable 'democratic' system, and I hope for your sakes that you continue to have it because however terrible some Americans may think it to be, it is far better than the alternatives.
