Former President Barack Obama had to remind a raucous crowd in Newark, New Jersey Thursday that the 22nd Amendment prevents him from getting back into the White House.
At a campaign rally for New Jersey’s Democratic gubernatorial nominee Phil Murphy, attendees shouted "four more years" as Obama stood on stage addressing them. From his first appearance at the podium, the response was enthusiastic for the 44th president, who was replaced by President Donald Trump after he won the election against Obama's former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
"How's it going New Jersey?" Obama said. "Are you fired up? Are you ready to go?"
"Oh, it is good to be back in Jersey!" he said. "It’s good to be back in Newark, good to see all of you."
While he had a chance to talk over a slightly quieter crowd, he made a joke about friends in attendance.
"I got a bunch of old friends here—I don’t mean you look old, I’m saying we’ve known each other," Obama said.
Someone in the crowd shouted, "I love you!" and Obama replied, "I love you back!"
Obama tried to begin his remarks but the cheers drowned him out, and then the "four more years" chant began. They continued in unison while Murphy clapped along on stage, leading Obama to jest about that idea's questionable legality and family implications.
"I will refer both to the Constitution as well as to Michelle Obama to explain why that will not happen, but we got four more years coming up right here in Jersey," he said, referring to Murphy’s term as governor if he wins the election.

Murphy won the Democratic nomination and is expected to win the gubernatorial race to replace outgoing Republican Gov. Chris Cristie, whose approval rating has sagged to low levels. Murphy's polling lead over Republican Kim Guadagno has consistently held in the double-digits.
I’d probably settle for 20 to life at this point.

hahaha!!!
or at least a hot-foot!
“How’s it going New Jersey? Are you fired up? Are you ready to go? Oh, it is good to be back in Jersey! It’s good to be back in Newark, good to see all of you. I got a bunch of old friends here—I don’t mean you look old, I’m saying we’ve known each other.”
“Say, did you hear about the Obamacare doctor who gave a man six months to live? The man couldn’t pay his ibill, so he gave him another six months.”
“My OWN doctor grabbed me by the wallet and said, ‘Cough!’
“Then the doc called Michelle and said ‘Mrs. Obama, your check came back.’ Michelle answered, ‘So did my arthritis!’
“Then the doc says to me, ‘You want to improve your love life? You need to get some exercise. Run ten miles a day.’ Two weeks later, I called the doctor. The doc says, ‘How is your love life since you have been running?’ I said ‘I don’t know, I’m 140 miles away!’”
“I said ‘Doc, it hurts when I do this.’ He said ‘Let me consult with your Obamacare insurance carrier.’ He came back a few minutes later and said ‘Well, don’t do that!’”
“After all that running, I said ‘Doc, my leg hurts. What can I do?’ The doctor says ‘Limp! That’s not covered under Obamacare.’”
“Seriously now, Newark! Take my wife...please!!”
Either that or delusional. Of course it may be that they want Michelle to run, and Obama to use her as his sock puppet.
Actually any time in an orange jump suit.
Yes, a president can later be vice president, and he could succeed back to the presidency but only for two years (24 months).
Christie pretty much cooked it for the hapless NJ GOP!
Life plus 4
Murphy can’t possibly lose this election by less than 15 points ... which leads to the obvious question: Why are the Democrats bringing Obama here to campaign for him?
These ghettobamas are #FakeAmericans! :)
Black voters in Newark, Irvington, Orange, etc. may not be as enthusiastic about Phil Murphy as they were for Jim Johnson, the black Democratic challenger.
Constitutional ignorance is rampant in the Hussein cult.
Goes to show you how ****ed up many people are who are living off our country.
He’ll have a sex change and run as the 1st woman POTUS.
If someone is not qualified to be President they also not qualified to be Vice-President.
0bama had to go to deep blue NJ to campaign for a democrat? Are they worried?
which leads to the obvious question: Why are the Democrats bringing Obama here to campaign for him?

We better be careful.
Maybe the Libs have found someone that actually thinks.
What better move than to bring in BO when the guy is a shoo in - When he wins ‘they’ can claim BO is relevant and the ‘people’ have spoke.
IF he blows it and WE trace it back to BO, ‘they’ can say no one was all that confident in Murphy..
That IS s small crowd! And they DO look like government workers.
Disgusting piece of øbamaic enemy islamist fecal matter.
Dear Leader is just like the Hildebeast, we are going to endure this worthless narcissistic clown until he assumes room temperature.
I think they were chanting 4 more queers.
