Obama: If I Ran for a Third Term, I Could Win
Time ^ | 7/28/2015 | Maya Rhodan

President Obama said that if he could run for a third term he thinks he would win, while calling for African leaders to adhere to term limits during a historic speech before the African Union.

“I actually think I’m a pretty good president. I think if I ran, I could win. But I can’t,” Obama said in Ethiopia on Tuesday. ” There’s a lot that I’d like to do to keep America moving, but the law’s the law.”

If people would vote for this trash then it would be easier to understand the mess we are in.

If he runs against Jeb, he’s right.

And if George Bush could have run for a third term Obama might not have gotten his first. It wouldn't have taken much to beat Obama in 2008...and McCain gave even less than that.

And if he did run for a third term, the RINO’s would just be RINO’s and let him. Make absolutely zero effort to enforce law. They would continue to do everything that is counterproductive to their own cause and lose the election. Afterwards they’d respect obama’s third term as though nothing wrong had happened.

And above all, those self righteous arrogant POS RINO’s would just think: “SCREW AMERICA!!!”

UN Secretary—Not possible as I understand the rules—citizens of Permanent Security Council members are not eligible. Of course, you could say that rules are made to be broken or changed.

Probably make an exception for a Nobel winner.

2012 was pretty simple to explain IMHO.

4 million of us sat home rather than turn out to vote for another RINO that had been foisted upon us by the GOPe. (just try and stick us with Jeb...you ain’t seen nuthin’ yet!)

Romney would not take the fight to Obama in any meaningful way.

The Dems had successfully vilified Romney as a dog-abusing polygamist who went around shipping jobs to India and giving people cancer.

All of the Julias out there were willing to turn out and vote in swarms in order to protect their free birth control, food stamps and Obamaphones.

The sad thing is that he is right.

We have the massive vote fraud and the flooding of illegals, Which is now sanctioned by the USSC.

And we have a native population with no spiritual intelligence who also don’t have the sense to act in the interest of their own well being.

Buckeye, have you run into or heard or seen anyone who admitted staying home. I have not read a single post here where someone said they stayed home. That bothers me.

Uh oh....whenever Obama says “If I could, I would” he follows it up with an executive order doing what he says he couldn't. This is scary.

Oh no. He always floats the trial balloon about law breaking before he actually breaks the law. They are destroying Hillary under the radar because they want blacks and Democrats to beg and accept Obama running for a third term. He cannot allow the next President to have the ability to undo all his illegal executive action.

Bubba was too busy with an impeachment trial to even think about a third term.

How ironic that sounds coming from the most lawless president ever.

From the BBC back in 2001

“With only a short time left in the White House, President Bill Clinton says the American constitution should be changed to allow a president to serve more than two consecutive terms.

In an interview with Rolling Stone magazine, Mr Clinton says: “I probably would have run again.”

He is asked if he thinks he would have won a third term in office.

“I do,” he says, “but it’s hard to say because it’s entirely academic”. “

Those are the raw numbers on the 2012 election. 4 million fewer Republicans showed up to vote.

Count those registered as independents and the number is likely far higher.

I held my nose and voted for Romney because I knew a second term of Obama would be far worse. But even I am getting sick and tired of the GOP playing Charlie Brown and the Football with me by serving up losers like Dole, McCain and Romney.

If they shove Jeb Bush at me next Fall that might just be the deal-breaker as far as I’m concerned. Let the Chamber of Commerce experience four years under the governance of President Elizabeth Warren. Then they can come groveling for my forgiveness.
