Article--
The twenty-second article of amendment to the Constitution of the United States is hereby repealed..
WHAT???? Are they trying to slip this in under our noses while we are steaming over the "Stimulus Package"?????
Just more proof all the democrats accusations about Bush where really their projecting their own desires... they claimed over and over President Bush would find some way to stay in office forever.. he didn’t but as soon as Bambi is elected, they look for a way to make it happen for him..
The big O might be lucky to be re-elected-—he’s going down Jimmy Carter Blvd.
Where’s George Washington when you need him?
Never underestimate the stupidity of the American Idol voter.
If it makes you feel better, the same amendment was proposed when Clinton was president. It got nowhere.
The mustache must be for hiding his stretch marks
Can't get more obvious than that.
...and he's burning rubber, baby! LOL
It's been posted in various forms several times. No biggie. To be fair, this "Repeal the 22nd Amendment!" fever strikes during the honeymoon of most incoming presidents. Saner heads will prevail and this bill will follow all the others into the great circular file.
This won’t go anywhere. The Dihms would be afraid another Reagan-type would get elected.
Does he get his own wheelchair?
This isn’t the first time:

Looks like that is exactly what they are attempting to do.
Dirty Ba$tards!!
Yeah, right. I’m sure 3/4 of the states (38/50) will vote to ratify it. /s
Obama’s set to make Jimmy Carter look like George Washington!
Yep. McCain won something like 29 states. No way do 16 of those join the 21 that Obama won to repeal this.
Rolling over in his grave!
President forever?....
Calm down! He’ll be lucky to last four years!
