Question: Why are Americans so certain there will be a presidential election in 2016 and that Barack Obama will leave office in January 2017?
Answer: Because it’s the law and because it’s American tradition.
However, we currently have a man in the White House who respects neither the law nor the American tradition of peaceful changes of power.
With regard to his contempt of the law, here are just a few examples:
•He abused his executive authority for the purpose of effectively changing immigration law, even after admitting repeatedly that he had no constitutional authority to do so. He even broke administrative law in the process, according to a federal judge who reviewed the action and ruled it was illegal. Obama’s response? He dug in his heels and doubled down in his determination to carry out his illegal plan, threatening any government employees who refused to execute his order with retribution.
•He conducted military intervention in Libya without congressional approval.
•In Operation Fast and Furious, the Obama administration ordered gun store owners to illegally sell thousands of firearms to Mexican drug dealers, resulting in the deaths of many including Border Patrol agent Brian Terry.
•He gave $535 million in taxpayer dollars to campaign contributors and lobbyists, claiming it was for a revolutionary “green energy” startup called Solyndra that would create 4,000 new jobs. The company quickly went bankrupt, after selling its product for less than the cost of production. By publicly overstating the company’s financial condition, Obama broke the same law that resulted in Martha Stewart, a private citizen, going to prison....

I bet he can’t wait to pop-smoke and haul @$$. He is wrung out. That’s why he plays so much golf - he hates the job. Heck, he probably hates having to work *at* *all*. You have to remember, he’s never really had to work in his life. Everything has been either given to him or the skids were greased just for him.
I say that as soon as he can go, he will be like the Road-Runner: “Meep-Meep” and then “Pewww”. One second he’s there, then next second, there’s just a cloud of dust about waist high and he’s over the horizon and nowhere to be seen.
I remember the hub bub about bill clinton refusing to leave office...
he did but were still not rid of him...or his wife....
Yes. Next question.
Of course he’ll go. He hates this job. He hates having to explain himself to anyone at any time.
Folks were wringing their hands about this non-issue when Clinton’s second term was up. It was stupid then, and it’s stupid now.
One way or another, he will leave office.
All of the states put him on the ballot in 2008 when he was not a natural born citizen.
Why would they not put him on the ballot in 2016?
I’ll be there with yall.
Let’s pray it doesn’t come to that.
He’ll leave.
Either Upright or on his belly draped across a horses saddle.
