Too funny.. maybe this is why so many people still don't think he is a US citizen. Damn foreigners immigrating from Hawaii taking up all our jobs.

you know, Millard Fillmore never technically left the White House but lived out his remaining years behind some crates in the basement after Franklin Pierce took over. His body was actually found some 20 years later by US Grant while he was down there trying to find one of the bottles of whiskey he had hidden from himself.

Who would oppose Obama 3rd term?

True Americans see that he does not have any love or patriotism to America at all. If he stays, there will be a civil war. We will not and should not allow him to shred one more piece of the Constitution.

Right wing Obamaphobes; always a ray of sunshine.

There was the same sort of speculation from the loony left in the last years of Bush's presidency. It didn't happen then and it won't happen now. I doubt anyone in their right mind would want to be president more than two terms anyway. Ex president is a much less stressful occupation than president is, and often even more lucrative.

Well he does all the time. Why should the 22nd be any different?

The people who would stop that though would be the Democrats who have been clobbered in state and national elections. They can't afford more Obama.

As much as you tightie righties like to jerk off over the idea of Obama declaring himself supreme ruler and dictator for life so you can hide in the woods and shoot at people in another civil war, it ain't gonna happen.

Funny, I don't recall a lot of similar comments when the lefties were saying Bush was going to cancel the elections in 2008 and that the House was passing legislation to repeal the 22nd Amendment.

By Republicans - which came back to bite them big-time in 1988 when they were sadly unable to nominate what was left of Ronald Reagan to a third term.

LOL. Presidents were not restricted to 2 terms until the 22nd Amendment which was ratified in 1951. Prior to that, numerous Presidents ran for a 3rd term but only FDR succeeded and was elected 4 times. This was just 70 years ago.

I started warning people about a month or so ago that this old meme was going to start showing up.

Bush was going to declare martial law and put people in FEMA camps.

Clinton was too.

Reagan ditto.

wnd.com is a crackpot website regurgitating the same old crap to drive website traffic and make profits from gullible folks.
