Someone on MSNBC was mentioning a third term....I didn't hear it, someone told me.
FDR was elected to 4 terms......it could happen.
I don't believe it will happen. I just wondered what you guys were hearing.

The 22nd amendment was passed after FDR and specifically exempted FDR and Truman from its limitations.

I am sure Diane is aware of the 22d Amendment. Hell, her and John were still dancing the Jitterbug and pitching woo when it was ratified in 1951. :lol:

Two separate Congressmen have brought it up recently and she s referring to several scenarios that could be invoked to get around the 22nd amendment. This stuff was talked about with Clinton and Bush. Our current imperial prez does make you wonder?

Of course. Isn't that how Hitler kick started Naziism? And just remember confiscating guns by executive order plays nicely into his master plans. I hear tell there will be a total of 666 regulations in all announced at his press conference. Some not even related to guns. Quite a few on forced fluoridation and some to effectively enact agenda 21 as mandated by the UN.

At least we have them lard ass armchair generals ala the Tea Partiers to waddle out on main street and protect us from the Federales. I only hope that they cut down Twinkies, and on the Big Macs and fries and get into fighting shape before the coming apocalyptic showdown. :lol: :lol: :lol:

she s referring to several scenarios that could be invoked to get around the 22nd amendment.It's pretty clear that the intent of the 22nd amendment was to limit a president to two terms. I don't think the Supreme Court would buy into these loopholes. Even if they did I don't think the electorate would and it would be foolish for any political party to nominate such a candidate.

"Due to the ongoing national crisis which has gripped the nation and which shows no sign of abating, the presidential and general election scheduled for November 8, 2016 has been postponed. This situation is only tempory, and elections will be held when conditions permit. In the interim, President Obama and all other elected officials will remain in their present positions until such time as elections can be held."

2014 will be almost like 2010, with the GOP gaining House seats and retaining firm control. Possibly re taking the Senate. If there is a 2016 election, four years from today President Rubio will be sworn in. If not him, then whichever well qualified candidate received the GOP nod is in. Eight years of socialism is out.

Not only was Obama voted in, but demographics voted your boys out.

We are not the ones having a meltdown. You are and for good reason!

For this "president", a more honest and accurate oath of office would look something like this:

Hand on a copy of "the Communist Manifesto"

CJ: "Do you solemnly swear to diminish the office of President of the United States and, to the best of your ideologies, degrade, subvert, and circumvent the Constitution of the United States, so help you Marx?"

Obama could smile with a twinkle in his eye and reply, "You bet, baby."

Now that would be transparency.

Dear Abby,

My husband has a long record of money problems. He runs up huge credit-card bills and at the end of the month, if I try to pay them off, he shouts at me, saying I am stealing his money. He says pay the minimum and let our kids worry about the rest, but already we can hardly keep up with the interest. Also he has been so arrogant and abusive toward our neighbors that most of them no longer speak to us. The few that do are an odd bunch, to whom he has been giving a lot of expensive gifts, running up our bills even more. Also, he has gotten religious. One week he hangs out with Catholics and the next with people who say the Pope is the Anti-Christ, and the next he's with Muslims.. Finally, the last straw. He's demanding that before anyone can be in the same room with him, they must sign a loyalty oath. It's just so horribly creepy! Can you help?

Signed, Lost




Dear Lost,

Suck it up and stop whining, Michelle. You're getting to live in the White House for free, travel the world, and have others pay for everything for you. You can divorce the jerk any time you want. The rest of us are stuck with the idiot for 4 more years.

Signed, Abby
