BARACK OBAMA: Now, let me be honest with you, I do not understand this.
I am in my second term. It has been an extraordinary priviledge for me to serve as the president of the U.S.
I can not imagine a greater honor or a more interesting job. I love my work.
But under our constitution, I can not run again.
I actually think I'm a pretty good president -- I think if I ran I could win. But I can't.
So there is a lot that I'd like to do to keep America moving, but the law is the law.

Sadly, however, he is probably correct. No one on the Democrat side could challenge him, and it is hard to imagine one of the GOP challengers being able to beat him right now.

...And yes, he would probably get the nomination and win again.
Sadly, I think history will show him to be one of the worst things America has done.

I would like to beat him [}:)]
I would pay to watch and assist if necessary which I doubt would be necessary.
The more I read about him and the more I witness his beliefs, ideas and actions, the more I believe he is an "Anti-Christ".

My problem is I don't think I could stop.
The Libs/Progressives are no problem. He knows there is a chance he can pull it off as long the current batch of Rhinos are still in power

I'd buy a ticket to that show.
Is it two or three hours long?
The ultimate narcissist.
Sums it up perfectly.
What is down right frightening is there are people out there that would vote for him.
You can bet the ranch he has the third term rattling around in his head and how to get around the Constitution. Valerie Jarrett and his back door schemers are working out how to go about it right now

Notice he didn't say in which direction he would keep the country moving.
Regarding the current President serving as President again, it's not hard to find a way this can be done within the Constitution. The 22nd Amendment prohibits the President from being again "elected" but says nothing about him serving as President again. That is a deliberate distinction.
The 25th Amendment states a Vice President becomes President when a sitting President is unable to serve. It also sets further line of succession.
Were President Obama at some later date elected or to otherwise become Vice President and the sitting President unable to serve, he could serve as President until the next election. Unlikely to happen, most newly elected Presidents don't want to share the stage with a former President. BTW, becoming VP is not the only way it could happen. Were he to become Speaker of the House, President Pro Temp of the Senate, Secretary of State - those are all very high up in presidential succession.
I don't think it would be difficult to make the case that Congress restricted election only, not serving.
Simple, easy way to stay president. It's coming.

I honestly would vote for Hitler or the devil himself, before I would vote for this POS

I would too and I've got Jewish in my background.
He would win again
Unfortunately you might be right [V]

He does not lack in self-confidence, does he?

I'll vote for him again...
