It&#8217;s the latest salvo in the bizarre obsession among the group of Americans dubbed Obama-haters. But now, these Americans have the opportunity to realize their greatest fears and act out their wildest fantasies in a new online computer game called &#8220;2011: Obama&#8217;s Coup Fails.&#8221; The image advertising the game features a large picture of President Obama&#8217;s face flanked by the faces of Karl Marx, Hillary Clinton and others, with a menacing looking White House, in visual opposition to a large mass of people, soldiers, stealth bombers, and a US flag. The premise of the game is the following: after most Americans defect from the Democratic Party and vote in a Republican majority in 2011, President Obama steps in and foments a coup to steal back government. He also takes away everyone&#8217;s guns. And then the US&#8217;s second revolution is launched. In come the online players to fight Obama&#8217;s coup. Political commentator David Corn was alerted to the online game and analyzed it&#8217;s significance and meaning. <\/p>\n<p><em>GUEST: David Corn is Washington bureau chief for Mother Jones magazine and the former Washington editor of The Nation magazine for twenty years<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Read his article here: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.motherjones.com\/print\/28515\">http:\/\/www.motherjones.com\/print\/28515<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Visit the game&#8217;s website here: <a href=\"http:\/\/usofearth.com\/2011-obamas-coup-fails.php\">http:\/\/usofearth.com\/2011-obamas-coup-fails.php<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>| the entire program A golf country club near Boston this week was vandalized with the world &#8220;I&#8221; followed by an inside-out Swastika, followed by &#8220;Obama&#8221; carved into the grass near the 18th hole.
