Looking Forward to President Obama's Third Term

[Lakhota]

By Asawin Suebsaeng

Our Kenyan-born, secret Muslim president has apparently cooked up a sneaky plot to subvert the 22nd Amendment.

Barack Hussein Obama is hatching a secret plot to pull off the ultimate power grab: securing himself a third term in the White House.

Some unspecified but major event will lead to an epoch of American economic prosperity. Because it will happen under Obama's watch, he'll claim full credit and receive an unprecedented boost in approval ratings, giving him a mandate to demand and subsequently obtain a third term.

Technically, it wouldn't be unprecedented for an American politician to launch an effort to lengthen a term, or seek an extra four years. Early in President Reagan's second term, congressional allies attempted to find support for amending the Constitution to give him a chance to potentially serve a third term. And when Nixon was in office, there was a proposal to expand presidential terms to six years. Both initiatives were quickly abandoned.

Back in 1999, I remember reading conservative conspiracy theories which predicted that Clinton was planning on declaring marital in order to suspend the 2000 elections so he could stay in office.

I've never seen or heard anything comparable about Republicans.

That just shows what a bunch of dipshits they are at mother jones. i know porter stansbury - have done legal work for him and his publisher - he runs a series of these kind of things to get people to go to his websites and then get them to subscribe to his investment / financial advisory services. its a marketing gimmick and thats all.

Anyone who thinks they are real and a relfection on the political views of anyone on the right or anyone is a dope. And BTW, he is wildly successful with this and im pretty sure he can buy and sell most anyone on this site many times over (except maybe me ).

If you want to see the video i think its at Stansberry's Investment Advisory Its a joke - mother jones is showing the sophisitcation of the chinese papaer that thought the onion report on the little gook who runs n. korea was actually made sexiest man in the world
