Obama Forever

Obama Forever, is the the change you voted for?

A resolution, H.J. Res. 5, was introduced into committee on January 6, 2009 which seeks to repeal the 22nd Amendment to the Constitution, thus removing term limits for U.S. presidents.

Yes, you read it right. Democrat Representative Jose Serrano of New York wishes to allow unlimited terms for President Obama.

Thepresidential term limit was ratified as an amendment to theConstitution in 1951. However, our founding fathers adhered to theprinciple of a two-term limit on their own accord. The only presidentthat served more than two terms was Democrat President FranklinRoosevelt, who served four non-consecutive terms.

Shall we go theway of the Venezuelan dictatorship? Venezuelan dictator Hugo Chavez and President Obama both expressed opposition to the recent ousting ofHonduran President Manuel Zelaya, calling it a coup, rather than alegal overthrow of a president who was violating Honduran law andattempting to change their constitution to permit him to stay in officeindefinitely. The action had gone through the proper legal process, wasvoted on by the Honduran Supreme Court and Congress, and had thesupport of the majority of the people.

According to an AP report,Obama stated, "We believe that the coup was not legal and thatPresident Zelaya remains the democratically elected president there. Itwould be a terrible precedent if we start moving backwards into the erain which we are seeing military coups as a means of politicaltransition rather than democratic elections," he added. "The region hasmade enormous progress over the last 20 years in establishingdemocratic traditions. ... We don't want to go back to a dark past."

What’she afraid of? Why would Obama side with a tyrant rather than the peopleof Honduras? Could this “precedent” be a threat to his future plans?

TheAP article also reports that Obama said the United States will "standon the side of democracy" and work with other nations and internationalgroups to resolve the matter peacefully. What does this mean – "workwith other nations and international groups"? Does this mean he intendsto intervene in the results of the Honduran political process inousting their tyrant?

I am outraged by our president’s support for a power-hungry tyrant over the will of the people.
