Absolutely. I think it we should get rid of the 'president' title altogether. Dictator or chairman sounds much more menacing to the outside world.

You don't know what impeachment is or how it works. By the time Obama serves another 4 years I don't think we will have a Constitution and impeachment won't be there along with the lack of a 22nd Amendment. Anybody who has watched him at all know that he will try to destroy the whole damned thing.

No, it went through so quickly was FDR. He was making noise about a 4th term because of WW2. His body wasn't even cold before Congress voted in term limits. If FDR had a heart attack. Damn good thing
too. No one should have 12 years. Look at how much debt Obama has put us in in just 1 term.

Sean Penn will be his secretary of state and Rev. Wright will be secretary of defense

There is nothing fake about lying under oath (perjury), witness tampering and obstructing justice.

A lot of money would have been saved if William the Impeached just told the truth instead of lying.

I'm voting Obama for a second term but I'd refuse having him in there three terms or anybody for that matter. In fact I'd approve of having one 6-year term vs two four year terms.
