Will Obama Leave Office in 2017?

War on Terror, Homeland Security, the Patriot Act, O.I.F, a lot of things we got under Bush would have been considered "fucking silly" before he, you know, actually did them.

Some day, maybe, the American people will realize just how ruthlessly the Bushistas exploited a national tragedy as a political windfall to advance an authoritarian agenda.

Until that day comes, no President dares to undo what they accomplished. Witness what happened when Obama tried to close the prison at Guantanamo. Witness what happened when Dems tried to soften the Patriot Act. Shee-it, Sherlock- witness the skullduggery behind Bibi's speech to Congress.

Yeah Obama has been trying to roll back that Patriot Act.

And we know what happened since thanks to Snowden.

That's not what I said. I said Dems.

As the article points out, much the same happened in 2009.

While the Obama Admin can lobby for whatever they want, they'll necessarily accept what Congress allows.
 
This is the last relevant post in this thread.

That is post #9. From post 10+, the discussion is basically: "well, it was the crazy fringe on the other team that first started this specific type of crazy conversation! waaaaa!"

Guys, we are through the looking glass here, and we should all be ashamed of ourselves. 🙁

Hey! I pointed out that it was the crazy fringe on my team (to the extent I have a team) that first started this specific type of crazy conversation.

Beyond that quibble, any post including the word "crazy" is highly relevant to this thread. 😉
 
Happens with every President nearing the end of his term. Like waggy I too recall some members here predicting Bush finding a way to stay in office.
 
I believe deep in my heart that Obama is a Muslim because he's dark. I also believe that he will not cede power and there will be no election in November of 2016. He will commit a false flag attack against the US, blame it on terrorism, and say for security reasons there won't be an election. He will also suspend the constitution in the interests of national security. I believe this because I barely got through high school, work a shit job, have a shit wife, and my weak mind is as malleable as my fat stomach. I glean what little information fits into my head from absurd, almost parody-like right wing publications and talking heads. Sometimes I take the stupid shit I find online and post it on the wrong forums--ones with people who might even be college educated, and I get laughed off stage.

lol
 
I think some of the ideas Obama wants to implement are stupid, but making himself President for Life isn't one I'm worried he has.
 
I remember when the loonies on the left constructed a scenario where Bush declares marshall law, suspended the election in 2008, and stayed in power. A bunch of hogwash.

It's almost comforting that people of any political stripe can become insane though.

“Well let’s construct a scenario and see if it has even the slightest bit of believability, and let’s establish some things that we know to be true that Obama also knows.”

I wonder, what do you think? Do you guys believe that Obama is planning to stay on past his second term? There is no evidence, but...who knows! As for me, I see a zero percent chance for Obama to get a third term.

Troll jerking me/us off again.
