This knuckle dragger is even worse. Debbie Dunnegan Waters, Missouri Official, Wonders Why Military Can't Launch Coup Against President Obama October 14, 2014 11:30 pm • Debbie Dunnegan HILLSBORO • Jefferson County Recorder of Deeds Debbie Dunnegan said Tuesday that she used a poor choice of words on a post on her personal Facebook page that some are interpreting as an attack on President Barack Obama. “I have a question for all my friends who have served or are currently serving in our military … having not put on a uniform nor taken any type military oath, there has to be something that I am just not aware of. But I cannot and do not understand why no action is being taken against our domestic enemy. I know he is supposedly the commander in chief, but the Constitution gives you the authority. What am I missing? Thank you for your bravery and may God keep you safe,” Dunnegan said in her post from early last week. The group Progress Missouri posted Dunnegan’s status on its website on Friday under the headline “JeffCo Recorder Asks Why Military Hasn’t Ousted Obama Yet,” saying that “Jefferson County voters deserve better.” Dunnegan said she merely wanted to know what oath the military took to protect the country from enemies both foreign and domestic. “I meant no ill intent toward the president. I meant no ill intent toward anybody,” she said. Dunnegan, a Republican, was elected as recorder of deeds in 2010 and is up for re-election next month. Her challenger is Mike Bone, a supervisor in the county’s circuit clerk’s office. “Something innocent and simple got twisted into a disaster because it’s an election,” Dunnegan said. She said she left the post on her page and has received many responses to it, good and bad. As for how it could affect her chances for re-election, Dunnegan said, “I think it could hurt it as much as it could help it.” Jefferson County for decades had been a Democratic stronghold, but that has changed in recent years — six of the seven County Council members are Republican, as is the county executive. But Democrats hold all but two of the elected county positions, and just one of the 12 judges is a Republican. Leah Thorsen covers Jefferson and south St. Louis counties.
