Addressing a gaggle of dictators comprising the African Union in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, Obama feigned a weak lament that although he considered himself a good president, he could not run again. That pesky thing called a Constitution that his Administration has trampled on for six years was in the way. "I cannot run again. I can't run again," he sighed. Having suffered headaches from listening to a lack of veracity in his pronouncements over the years, I thought, something's not right here. What has he really done?
The answer was simple. My sense is that the strategy to retain power was likely developed during the latter part of his first term in office. He and Jarrett had been allowed to treat the Congress and the Supreme Court with disdain and disrespect, and dismiss the Constitution as little more than an annoyance. The media had applauded with abandon and encouraged them, . . of course the Constitution was an irritant to their visionary and brilliant leader.
The Re-election Plan:
The Clintons and the Obama/Jarrett cabals have intensely disliked one another. Bill believed that his pivotal support of Obama in the 2012 election would win his wife O/J's support in the future. Not a chance. Bill couldn't be believed, but then neither could Obama/Jarrett. Bill lost that gamble.
O/J knew Hillary was using an offsite server while conducting her business as Secretary of State. Did O/J complain, or whine, or order her to cease and desist? No. Was it legal? Was it right? Was it safe for the Nation? No. An off-site server to conduct affairs of State would be an insane and dangerous concept today, yesterday and a decade ago. O/J let her do it. Fast forward to 2015 . . .
A leak, apparently from the Jarrett sphere of influence, suggests that all had not been right with the 'Hillary' email system and its security. The crack expands slowly. The left tinged media doesn't really want to dig too deep, but the pure insanity of an off-site server, in her home no less, is impossible to ignore. The digging has to continue.
In comes Congress. Slow, and not too sharp on the uptake, the Republican side decides to inquire into possible breaches in national security and whether Hillary put the Nation or its uniformed men and women at risk. The digging continues and Hillary will testify, but only under her conditions, . . . she has learned a trick or two from the Ayatollah on negotiating.
Very meekly, slowly, the FBI shows up on the scene. Notice, this isn't because O/J want to get to the bottom of this. At least not obviously. Obama is busy bolstering dictators in Africa, fresh off his boosting the Castros and the Ayatollah. No, O/J are nowhere near the scene of this train wreck. They don't want it to alight too rapidly. This fire needs to be a slow burn, but incinerate, it will. Hillary is going down.
But why slowly? And why so near to the 2016 elections just around the bend?
The Republicans are fighting with Republicans. Their Congressional leadership is non-existent, and some of it actually supports O/J and their bewildering 'treaties'.

“And if he did run for a third term, the RINO’s would just be RINO’s and let him. Make absolutely zero effort to enforce law”
What law is that?
The XXII Amendment may be the worst drafted amendment in history (although there is stiff competition). It does not even say, as it should have, “The Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.”
The first couple of times you look at it, it seems clear enough: “No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice...”.
But the Constitution makes no provision for something called a “Presidential election”.
The Amendment could have easily said, “a person who has served as President for 2922 days shall thereafter be ineligible to the office”, conforming itself to the language of Article II and Amendment XII.
“Being nominated”, “Running for President”, and “Presidential elections” are all outside the Constitutional framework.
So, what does the XXII Amendment actually ban or prohibit? Upon whom does it act?
Does it mean that a State Legislature may not, in its chosen process for appointing electors, allow a twice-President to be considered? Does it mean that an elector, once appointed, may not vote for a twice-President? Does it mean that Congress, meeting in the Constitutionally-designed special electoral vote counting session, may not count votes naming a twice-President, even though Amendment I makes clear that the House and the Senate may make their own rules without interference?
I’m afraid that, as drafted, XXII can’t withstand attack from a determined enemy, which may well be what we are dealing with here.
“I don’t think he has any desire to be POTUS any longer.”
Obama’s desires are of absolutely no consequence. He is a nothing, a placeholder, a tool. He got this far in dismantling the United States only because of his status as a protected minority, and whoever may become the next POTUS, he/she WON’T be black. If Obama appears to choose to ignore the constitution and stay in power, it will be because his masters don’t want to lose this nearly perfect means to advance their aganda.
Does anyone really think that Hillary or Warren could pull off the crap this idiot has done? And his “man behind the curtain” is not going to give this up easily or willingly.
If Obama/Jarrett had a plan wouldn't they have a candidate ready and waiting?
Somebody better than Biden? Maybe they had a shot with Warren, but she didn't take it.
It's too risky to go after the front runner without a really good candidate available. It opens the door to defeat.
No I think Obama is feeling "Après moi, le déluge" right now -- After me, who cares?
Obama and his handlers are not giving up. Is anyone watching Jade Helm 2015 Martial Law (Facebook) happening now and Trident Juncture 2015 (30,000 international troops) beginning about Sep. 30 — October 3-16, 2015? These are HUGE exercises using AI (artificial intelligence) and working at night 11 PM to 4 AM. Look at the trainloads of tanks, trucks, white vans, UN vehicles, etc.
Always provided that Iran and China play nice after he leaves.
Iran is trying to provoke a nuclear holocaust to bring in the 12th Madhi, and the Chinese kind of like things such as the 21-million-person OPM hack which are pretty much unanswerable.
One Trident-armed sub can ruin a tyrant’s whole day.
Barack Obama cannot run however Michelle Obama can.
Baraq cannot run because of the Constitution.
But he routinely ignores the Constitution.
What then?
What if he just doesn’t leave?
Who will force him out?
CONgress? The supremes?
I don’t think this will end well.
Interesting question. Axlegrease has been pretty quiet.
Plouffy got a job at Uber, they paid him huge money to defeat DiBlasio’s taxi mob in NYC.
Messina was working for Cameron’s campaign in Britain.
