Rush Limbaugh is suggesting that President Barack Obama and his political opertives are laying the groundwork for a third term." You have to wonder if obama is trying to lay a foundation for not being a hypocrite when he tries to serve beyond 2016" "Limbaugh told his national radio audience " I wouldn't be suprised at all if in the next number of years there is a move on the 22nd Amendment"

I really don’t think we’ll have to worry about that with Obama; but having said that, my faith in our democracy has been shaken by the Democrats’ successful attempts at stealing elections. One wonders where that slippery slope could lead to..........
With this clown the scenario you expressed must now be considered. However, his approval ratings are going down. “HE” and his Apostles may write off his desire to hold eternal office as an impossibility.
I presume by "this ridiculous thing" you are referring to a repeal of the 22nd Amendment.
Have you ever read the 22nd Amendment ... serious question.
The 22nd is explicitly worded not to apply to any president elected prior to its ratification.
There is no guarantee a "Repeal 22" amendment would have any such disclaimer.
Except for prison terms for Republicans.
Lol! Thanks for the laugh. Unfortunately, you are asking an aweful lot. I don't see it happening. Rather, I see the Amerikan public to say "Oh, he has been the most wonderful President! Let's let him stay!"
Hate to break the news to you, but the Constitution doesn't matter anymore.
At the rate he’s alienating the people he’s not eve ngoing to get a second. If he’s really looking that far ahead he’s even dumber than I thought.
The big problem is getting the sh*t back in the horse i.e. rolling back the damage this Marxist thug unleashes.
Ok Carnac. You were right. LOL
What is SOB arky?
Thanks
kinda like being on the same rowing team.
A loose stool.
Why do you think that? There is a specific exception for the sitting President in the 22nd amendment. But that doesn't mean there would be one in any repeal of it. Even under the 22nd, it wasn't when they were elected that counted, it was if they were serving when the amendment was proposed and/or ratified. But that was put in to make the amendment more attractive to Democrats, who would not have wanted Truman so limited, although in the event he, like every President, save F. Roosevelt, chose not to seek a 3rd term.
It also would have to be repealed by 75% of State Legislatures and that won’t happen.
Congress has no authority to real a Constitutional amendment no matter how many votes they have.
I like to play Wack-a-Mole
CW2, works for me FRiend
When are you going to fight? The sheer number of responses to the Michael threads versus the Cap and Trade [Climate Control Act]suggest that the American public is more concerned with a degenerate than something that will eventually cost them their freedom.
By 2016 at the speed he is moving now, obama will have everyone in one of the camps that Glen Beck says doesn’t exist.
There is another Bill in the House that when passed, will give obama total control of the food supply. That will make the gun issue moot.
And last but not least, If Americans will not fight over the Climate Control Act, they will not fight over anything.
Oh yeah, the 2010 elections are coming, we will regain control of the House then. Wrong! ACORN was just given 4 billion or more dollars to see that this doesn’t happen. Add that to a Republican Party with no leadership, no spine, and completely lacking the will to fight.
I, myself, am not going to one of obama’s camps. That means that they will kill me at my house. but when they come I will do the best I can.
I just started using the new Firefox 3.5 today (upgraded from an earlier Firefox). Hope that didn't change use of html in any way.
BTW, are you using Internet Explorer perhaps?
Explorer? Why heavens no! Uh, I use uh, Netscrape. Yeah that’s it or maybe AOL.
No, no I use some thing that is on a black screen with amber letters. That’s it.
I cant believe what a complete idiotic statement you made. First of all this has been predicted since Clinton. Second the wackos were saying that Bush wanted to be the Dictator forever. Now you are the wacko. Funny how that happened. Now lets say he does this ridiculous thing that you believe will happen...it will begin with the President AFTER Obama. Do you have any type of education at all...serious question.
Although I do remember the media saying things like Clinton and Bush running for a 3rd term - it is something that Barry would attempt to do just like Chavez. Besides we already know how he feels about the constitution, so why would he adhere to the 22nd. That ammendment is challenged every so often anyway.
