Too bad more people here don't see it this way. Truth is sometime hard to fatham I guess. Especially when it involves our dear "leader".

If you check the US spin machine against primary sources it's amazing what you'll find is made up, and then people will call you a "conspiracy theorist."

And I am amazed that cons that consider themselves good Christians can turn the other way when war crimes are committed and hundreds or women and hundreds of children are murdered in mass. What a world we live in now.

The reference was to Putin who served the then Russian maximum 2 terms and then became Prime Minister, while the laws were changed. Effective 2012, the president can serve up to 2 consecutive 6 year terms. There is no limit to the total number of terms, just a limit on successive terms.

Moot point, they are amendments TO the CONSTITUTION. They were not in the constitution until after WW2. This is not part of the topic anyway.

Yes, he such a Statesman, keep that in mind as he sends more weapons and a bomb factory/power plant to Iran. I wonder where the chemical weapons in Syria will end up
