Sweet Jesus, and he hasn’t even served a first term yet.
Proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States to repeal the twenty-second article of amendment, thereby removing the limitation on the number of terms an individual may serve as President.
Some people are expecting waaaay more than a human can be expected to deliver.

Dear God.

Please god this never happens. Every Prez is either worn out or damn near insane after 8 years as it is.
I was emailing some friends about the Chosen One the other day, to the effect that I was already finding Obamas voice irritating. Well more than irritating. threatening and rather sinister.
Bliar has obviously been giving him some tips on sheeple management.
Cop this!

I’ve just heard some bint on Channel 4 talking about “President Obama”. He ain’t prez yet, love. Calm down.
The whole sordid business reminds me of 1997. Back then, things could only get better - because hey, how hard could it be? The Tories were Nasty, and Blair was a nice smiley guy with a young family, who didn’t wear a tie and had lots of women on his benches. And what was he going to do to improve the country? Ah, don’t worry about that. Things Can Only Get Better.
Well, it turns out they couldn’t.
And now America has its very own empty suit who rose to the top from the most corrupt state in the union, and a public whipped up into a state of expectation that no mere man could ever hope to fulfill. God help them.
This train business is typical. Ooh look, he’s going to Washington on a train. Honest Abe went to Washinton on a train. That means he’s like Lincoln. Lincoln was Good. (Lincoln was a fucking Republican, but leftists don’t worry too much about minor details.)
And now this. The trouble with Obama isn’t that the usual suspects are swooning around like teenage girls in ’50s B-movies wittering about how dreamy he is while the rest of us know he’ll be bloody useless; the trouble is that the rest of us - who’ve been paying proper attention - haven’t a fucking clue what kind of a president he’ll be because he’s never actually done anything before. So it would be folly to predict a single term. But I wouldn’t be surprised in the least. There’s going to be a lot of disappointed wackos in four years’ time.
The most interesting thing to me about Jose Serrano’s bill to repeal the 22nd Amendment is that he first introduced it in 2005.
Instead of the as-yet untested Obama, consider the prospect of another 4 years of The Decider.
The mind boggles. Brrr….
I heard about this on the radio, and almost drove off the road laughing.
If the Obamessiah is unsuccesful in his efforts to heal the sick, lower the sea level, raise the dead, etc., in four years, it would be funny to watch the Republicans try once again to get this passed.
