Doesn’t the 22nd Amendment apply to Barack Obama?
Some of our friends on the left have hinted that our Fascist President George Bush doesn’t plan on leaving office quietly at the end of his term, but it was Barack Hussein Obama who plans on being president for “eight to ten years:”

Barack Obama’s Butterfly Effect
July 20, 2008 4:45 PM
Today on CBS’s Face the Nation, Sen.

“And it’s important for me to have a relationship with them early, that I start listening to them now, getting a sense of what their interests and concerns are.”

Of course, had John McCain made a misgoof like this, our friends on the left would be yelling “Senile! Senile! Senile!” “Alzheimers!” He’s too old!”
Somehow, I’m sure this won’t bother them in the least.

Well, put it this way…it doesn’t bother me as much as McCain apparently not realizing that Iraq does not border Afghanistan.

Or, you know, if the next President after Obama is Democratic - or even if he or she is Republican - Obama may continue on in finishing whatever he started with foreigners as that President’s representative.
Just because no leader in the world would trust Bush to be able to pour piss from a boot if the instructions were on the heel does not mean the same applies to Obama. We will note that Bill Clinton was engaged all over the world commenting on politics after his Presidency, including speaking to the UN Secretary General and at the Ontario Economic Summit, and headed the UN tsunami relief effort.
What the fuck is Bush going to do? Baseball commissioner?
You really are friggin’ desperate if this tripe is the best you can throw at Obama.

It.s nice to finally hear the President speak and not cringe like a soft tyranny.
