67. ...and speaking of change!!
Help www.end22.com change the 22 Amendment to the Constitution of the United States. Currently the 22 Amendment limits presidential term limits to two terms. I'm not saying President Obama should be President for life, what I am saying is we the people of the US had our rights hijacked in 1947 when a Republican Congress passed this Amendment. We should have the right to elect whom ever we deem fit to lead. Can you imagine if Clinton could have run again. He would have killed Bush. Even Reagan, while I did not agree with most of his policies, would have had a chance to run again. It is widely believed the only reason we made it through the great depression and WWII is the steady leadership of FDR, he was elected to four terms. I am aware he was just sworn in, and who knows if President Obama turns out be the president we all believe he will be. But if he does turn out to be the great leader I personally think he is, we should have the option of asking him to serve us again in 2016.
