    Looks like the coup is failing. Even Obama is calling on folks to support the elected government. It looks like the people of Turkey do not support this coup.

    Yes, but the folks are very anti-coup because it was happening so god damn often. They may not like WHO they elected, but they like THAT they elected.

    This doesn't seem to be a very well planned coup.
