It sure looks seems to me that his heroes are totalitarian dictators, both communist and muslim.
Whatever. We know how to make it un-happen, too.
No, càn’t happen.
This drek isn’t even worth reading.
If I recall, the president is OUT no matter what on inauguration day.
The house would select a new president at that point.
Honestly, if he did. I really don’t think the public would rise up and stop him. The people that would have to go to work, take care of their kids, and be upstanding citizens. It wouldn’t be worth it to enough people to get out in the streets. A state or two might secede, but that’s probably it.

There is no way that would happen, but I would not be surprised to see a bipartisan effort to repeal the 22nd Amendment.
You're right. The public is more interested in what's on cable TV, and whether or not they can cover this month's utility bills. But the Supreme Court might just weigh in...even the liberal justices might object.
And the military and the Secret Service might get a bit, shall we say, frisky. All the makings of a good novel.
But Obama will not provoke such a scenario in the first place. He is, at his core, a lazy and risk-adverse person. He will retire. And then he'll spend the rest of his life alternating between golfing and lecturing us on talk shows.
I could swear I read a few years back, Lyndon Johnson looked for a way to make a martial law presidency

The house would select a new president at that point.>>> any incoming nukes would target government buildings not golf courses. He is safe.
“we are all well aware the Constitution limits the Presidency to two consecutive four-year terms of office”
The limitation doesn’t say anything about *consecutive* terms. It is 2 terms, period.
First clue the author is clueless.
Bring it, Buckwheat. We’ll see how this works out for you.
You’re not the first person to say that. My late grandfather told me that he had third-hand information that Johnson got hot intel on some big domestic Communist plot or another and it made him awful jumpy for awhile.
I read this a few years back but, have been unable to find it.
Fascinating and breathtaking that is was even considered.
Exactly. Patently ridiculous.
The rigged system doesn't work that way. 0bama is simply a useful pawn of the Establishment, and will leave the stage when his time arrives, ostensibly to be replaced by a new pawn (Hillary).
That's how the system works. The regime is perpetuated, while subordinate individual tools come and go, having served their purpose.
For 0bama to attempt such silliness would produce an instant Constitutional crisis, replete with a near certainty of armed insurrection. It's simply not going to happen. The elite don't need to accomplish their goals like that. There's too much unpredictability and risk.
There are enough real Tyrannical scenarios to worry about, without indulging such paranoid fantasies.
Solution: Vote Trump!
More like Nero, working towards Hillary’s Caligulawless.
If Obama wanted a third term he wouldn’t be out raising money for his presidential library.
Being a former president is where you make the really big money.
Ain’t going to happen, no how, no way. If it were attempted
this country would come to a screeching halt and the left
would finally see how the right institutes a REAL
“occupy” movement.

Bammy wants to semi-retire to golf and part-time job as UN sec General...
