RE: When you get a leader like Obama we need to think about that 22nd amendment.
The rationale behind the 22nd Amendment (ratified in or about 1947) is that the office of the presidency had grown too large and too powerful for one individual to hold for more than 8 years. I very much agree with that, and I think most other Americans -- Democrat, Republican, other -- agree with it, too.

In the pre-New Deal era, the office of the presidency was still constrained by constitutional limits, and so it was nowhere near as powerful as it is today. If the presidency could be reduced to that level (1789--1933) of power and influence today, than I would be willing to support the revocation of the 22nd Amendment. But not until then.

This would be an awful idea.

I don't hate Obama by any means, but 8 years is enough.

He wouldn't run again anyway because he wouldn't win.

Do you not understand why the SCOTUS is a lifetime appointment?

RE: When you get a leader like Obama we need to think about that 22nd amendment.
Your basic assumption is that Obama is a great leader. I don't think anyone really believes that. Even the main stream media has said that Obama has led from behind (on Lybia).

A great leader doesn't allow:
.his keystone legislation that will affect this country for generations. to be pass on straight party lines without even the other party's minimal support
.his foreign policy to be dictated by Russia (but now he has flexibility)
.the debt ceiling to carry on this long (Clinton and Reagan worked with Congress when the opposition party had control)
.his policies to be set by special interest groups (unions and greens)

And right now only 37% of the people think he is doing a good job.

The OP is the kind of stuff you see on MSNBC.

A leader? Sure, leading us off a cliff.

Ok Ok OK....

I was trying to rattle some cages this morning. I went overboard, but has anyone else heard this? A buddy of mine is convinced that Obama is going to create a crisis so severe that he's going to stay in power. I wanted to see if the "New generation" of the spin room as heard anything.

You're either as f*cked up as a football bat or you're taking the worst step ever to try and rile Republicans up... I can't tell which one.
