Why would anyone think that someone would ever want to be the POTUS for more than 8 years? It has got to be a crappy job with life threatening pressure. Just look at the pictures of Presidents before and after two terms.

I truly believe that at the end of the second term, the president breathes a sigh of relief that his party can't pressure him to run again.

Since this is a forum on the Internets Tubes, the argument can't be considered legitimate unless there is a quote from some old dead guy.

Made me look! I was going to make a crack about a guy with a starched collar being called "Marty", but now I just gotta get a haircut like that!

Ignorant of the constitution? Oh, whoever you are, you just have no earthly idea, ill let that one slide. I am well aware of the constitutional term limits, you are are obviously ignorant not understanding the situation.This is someone who ignores the constitution so it's not a stretch to think he would push for another term.Would it be legal? no but since when does obama care abotu legal means? never. Assuming we are safe because the constitution says so is blissful ignorance when it comes to anything to do with BHO.

Lesson learned: spread out your trolling. Make yourself a troll calendar, as it were.

You know in my life I have found out more often then not the most intolerant people on this earth are the ones who call themselves "Liberal". I still don't understand why they can be so close-minded when someone disagrees with them.

Everyone, please try to remember Bubbles is ostensibly in law school and therefore is much more knowledgdeable than we mere mortals on matters of government and law, particularly constitutional law. After all, he is going to take a bar exam after his studies and, when he passes it, he will be a full fledged member of a noble profession...

Wait, he still has to pass a bar exam?...

Never mind;...we're safe...

<O>

No, but it will be, by somebody. Possibly me.
