Obama: I’ll Be President For ‘The Next 8 to 10 Years’?
Stop the ACLU ^ | 20 Jul 08 | Warner Todd Huston

Posted on 07/20/2008 6:34:01 PM PDT by Jay777

Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama, the reputed “Constitutional scholar,” just today said on CBS’s Face the Nation that he went to Iraq to talk to important leader that he expects to be “dealing with over the next eight to 10 years.” So, does this “Constitutional scholar” not realize that there is this little thing called the 22nd Amendment that holds a president to only two, four year terms? Um, that would be a grand total of only 8 years, Barack, not 8 to 10. Of course, the big question is, will we see this idiot gaffe race through the MSM as it would if a Republican had said it?

At the very least ABC’s Jake Tapper, one of the best political reporters in the biz, sure noticed. Tapper has a blog entry on his “Political Punch” blog all about it with an amusing side note about time travel added in just for fun.

Give him a break, he was thinking that two terms equals eight years and then he realized that there are six months before the next President takes office, but he couldn't add that fast, so he improvised and came up with ten.

I’m sure he was talking about the 57 States of America too.

But on the other hand if Obama were elected and Hillary were the VP, and for some reason Obama were unable to serve the last half of one of his terms, Hillary would be able to serve as president for up to 10 years.

It appears as if Obama is young and senile. If we're going to have a senile president, I'd rather one that had something in his noggin in the first place...that way he's got somewhere to go when he starts to lose it. McCain > Obama....simple math decision.

Am I the only one who thinks he and his surrogates are horses asses for constantly talking as though he already is elected? He and his supporters do this all the time.

Actually, another two years to handle the extra seven states is about right I would think.

After “he who we all have been waiting for” is anointed or coroneted or whatever, why should there be a need for further elections?

But when President Bush misspeaks, he’s “stupid”.

Seriously, I think he's f’ed up. The mistakes he makes are unexplainable. Something’s loose.

on top of being a clueless idiot, he is arrogant as h-e-l-l... most people would say 4-8 years... he’s assuming he’ll be reelected to a second term...

Now you are catching on! You are not the only one. There is no way Obama wins without monumental vote fraud. I think there is a good chance he will have the nomination yanked from him yet. Anyone who has an ounce of brain matter can see by now that Obamalamadingdong doesn’t! If he has indeed stopped his admitted drug use he waited far too long to do so. I am very serious.
