Do you think Obama will declare martial law?
Considering the Executive orders he has signed, do you anticipate Obama finding an excuse to declare martial law so that he can set himself up as Dictator in Chief?
There have been over 900 Executive Orders put forth from Obama, and he is not even through his first term yet. He is creating a martial law 'Disney Land' of control covering everything imaginable. Some of the executive orders he has signed recently have been exposed thanks to 'Friends of Conservative Action Alerts.' They have compiled a choice list of 'Emergency Powers, Martial law executive orders': Get your headache medication out while you still can without a prescription.

your question states a lot of very scary facts but obama has been a dictator already and there are some that believe he will suspend elections

I think it is highly unlikely. In order to enforce a martial law, he would need the military on his side. Most of the military will not follow him in such an instance and would actually fight against it. However, if you want to play "what if", here is the only scenario where I could see it happening.
During the 2012 elections, Romney wins but there are some irregularities, akin to what happened in FL in 2000. Obama then gets on the TV and says that because of these problems, he will have to stay in office until it gets sorted out. Republicans cry foul and plan a demonstration in DC. Being a very strong democratic area, counter protesters show up. No one will know who fired the first shot, but a bloody clash happens, requiring the federalization of the national guard to clear the streets. Agitators would then have to be arrested including TEA party officials, political opponents, and radio talk show hosts.

If for some strange reason Romney/Ryan are elected on November 6 th, then the poor will riot,,, Obama will still be president until January 20th,,, and he will then have the opportunity to rule by martial law.
Or
if Obama wins the election and a majority in the house and the senate,,,, the right may feel revolution is their last resort before becoming a socialist totalitarian dictatorship
Or
If the economy collapses then who ever is in power will be able to use the executive orders that are already in place.

I am going to vote for "Anybody But Obama", but this type of question has been posed in every presidential election for the past 20-30 years, regardless of which party is in power.
