Obama: 'I Don't Have Time to Waste. The Clock Is Ticking.'
The Weekly Standard ^ | Mar 12, 2014 | DANIEL HALPER

Posted on 03/12/2014 9:34:50 AM PDT by Cheerio

President Obama knows that his time is almost up. It's a point he's making to liberal Democratic donors to get them to donate generously in this year's mid-term election.

At a Democratic fundraiser last night in New York City, President Obama said, "I hope you will all step up because, although I'm very optimistic about our long-term trends, the notion that we would waste two years in further inaction rather than move boldly on a path that I think all of us in this room agree on -- we don't have time to waste."

The president continued, "I don't have time to waste. The clock is ticking. There’s less than two years left -- less than three years left. I want to squeeze every last little bit of work that I can during the remainder of my term so that, looking back, I'm going to be able to say that we left everything on the field and every single person I could help in this office -- which is such an incredible privilege -- I helped."

Does anyone honestly believe that the WH Clown thinks this is going to be his last term? After the whipping the RATS are going to take in 2014, the RAT squeals will be heard for the repeal of the 22nd Amendment in earnest this time.

I’ll lay money on it that he will either try to repal the 22nd amendment or declare martial law in the next two years to extend his presidency.

He’s frantically trying to figure out how to declare martial law and suspend the 2016 elections. If he can crash the currency or something I’m sure he’ll do it.

I think all of us who are actually pay attention to what is going on senses that the progressives think that this is their moment, and that they will go to any lengths to see their agenda through. They will never give it up willingly, and certainly not through the quaint process of fair elections.

Obama has armed practically every branch of his civilian army, less the teachers of course.

But yesterday’s win in FL of Jolly is enough to cause reflection.

What won't happen - the squeals or the Amendment? Of course the Amendment will not happen prior to Nov 2016, but do you still think he will leave the White Hut? He changes laws willie nilley and shreds the Constitution weekly. Why should the 22nd Amendment apply to him? He will have Holder issue an opinion, and then just issue an EO. Preposterous? He record on following his oath of office is plain for all to examine.

I want to squeeze every last little bit of work vacation that I can during the remainder of my term so that, looking back, I'm going to be able to say that we left everything on the field golf course and every single person basketball game I could help play while in this office -- which is such an incredible undeserved privilege -- I helped won!"

I hope those donors think long and hard about losing more election money after the Sink-hole loss yesterday.

If he was to cause what you believe he may, it will prompt a revolt for certain.

...or he can just sign an Executive Order extending his 2nd term indefinitely.
