Could US President Barack Obama win a third term in office? He's convinced that he could, but he would really rather not.
Obama used his own history of electoral success to rib African leaders who overstay their welcomes by refusing to leave office after their terms expire. In his speech Tuesday at the African Union headquarters, he conceded unfamiliarity with that concept because as a second-term US president, he is constitutionally barred from running again.
"I actually think I'm a pretty good president," Obama said. "I think if I ran, I could win. But I can't!"
That's just fine with the president. Obama said he was looking forward to leaving behind the trappings of office, including his presidential security detail, and having more flexibility to do things such as travel to Africa after he leaves the White House. He said that while he was still relatively young, he thought a new president with new insights w0uld be good for the US.

Better year round weather than Calgary, stable government (compared to here) and how hard can it be to learn Spanish (Mexicans can speak it after all!) </joke guys, joke>
“Hey, if I just declare myself dictator, I won't have to run again! I can do the old Caesar bit. I'll get some shill like Marc Antony...maybe Mitch McConnell,to give me the laural wreath.
I'll refuse of course, the first coupla times, but unlike Caesar, I'll accept it the third time.
There will be much cheering!
Hey, Michelle, whaddaya think about “Obama Caesar”?
If he runs again he will win. There is no Constitutional bar to his running again and his people control the vote count and the citizenship/voter numbers. The Constitution was overridden entirely by the Supreme Court and Congress in the last 6 months.
If he did, serious trouble would result.

Uruguay has a very large European population. Montevideo is a very modern city. I think Americans can retire there as long as you have a minimum income of $1500/month and a clean criminal record.
Believe me, as it is obvious that the Ruling Class are bent on turning America into a totalitarian Third World crap hole, I have given serious thought to becoming an expatriate.
Shows just how sick he is.
Sadly you are right, he would probably easily win. But that says more about American citizens then Obama.
It doesn't matter. They've used our own freedoms to destroy us.
dissociation + negative hallucination + amnesia = out of touch with reality
Can we swap him out for one of those African strongmen? Anyone but Mugabe or Zuma would probably do a better job.
I take it then that the election stealing apparatus is still intact and operational.
Well Ohio and Florida are the keys.
The Dems have shown remarkable skills in vote counting both places, despite having Republican Sec of State.
