Eight years in White House enough - Bush‘s wife


WASHINGTON - Eight years in the White House is enough and it is right to limit presidents to a pair of four-year terms, first lady Laura Bush said on Friday.

"I think that‘s plenty. Eight years is a long time," President George W. Bush President George W. Bush‘s wife told the BBC in an interview, on the anniversary of Bush‘s second inauguration. A constitutional amendment ratified in 1951 limits U.S. presidents to two terms in office.

Mrs. Bush also agreed with her interviewer it was dispiriting to see al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden resurface in an audiotape this week. She said she worried about her husband on his travels.

...

As for divisions within the country over the Iraq war, she acknowledged that "many people are very, very sincerely anti-war" while adding: "Everyone is anti-war. The president is anti-war. No one wants war. But no one wanted what happened on September 11 either," she said.

1. Yes, eight years is a long time for true Americans to watch

their country being slowly dismantled by a bunch of neocon freaks.

[spotbird]

9. Who thinks they will give up power?

The jokes on us.

[Laelth]

31. Good question.

I'll believe it when I see it.

2. For them

eight hours was too much.

[xray s]

3. Sorry Laura. The impeachment is going to cut your stay short

Enjoy your place in historic infamy.

[CottonBear]

4. No one but GWB wanted 9-11 . FUCK you Mrs. Bush. n/t

[joefree1]

5. Ah, Laura let us help you out

How just 7 years? A Democrat Congress can help. :)

[Nomen Tuum]

6. Why, she has to make room for Columba!

After all, those Assemblies of God preachers DID anoint Jeb with holy oil just as they did with Chucklenuts!

[Lorien]

7. Her husband is likely planning on spending the next eight years

in a palace. :puke:

[Demeter]

27. He Ought to Pack for the Hague

Lots of woolies--it's always damp there!

[Lorien]

42. If there were any justice in the world

he would have started his sentence two years ago!

[PsN2Wind]

8. Oh Yea!!!!

Just itching to get back to the "ranch". Damn brush is taking over while her top hand is running (ruining) the country.

[Lori Price CLG]

10. Eight f*cking seconds was enough! n/t

[barb162]

13. One second was too much n/t

[Writer]

14. What are you talking about...?

Time in the White House, or bedtime with W in the Lincoln bedroom? :shrug:

[Writer]

11. "I think that‘s plenty. Eight years is a long time," Laura said...

"Because if I have to survive another #@$^$^# day on two shots of dry vermouth and xanex, I'll streak the Rose Garden!"

[IndianaGreen]

12. She sounds like they are toying with the idea of a President for Life

If Bush is above the law, what's to prevent him from running again? Who will stop him? If the Democrats won't impeach him now, what makes you think they will stop him from running for a third term?

[ninkasi]

19. He'll never stop

Until the Democrats, or the courts, or the citizens stop him. He thinks he is above all of man's laws. If Ashcroft could "anoint" himself with Crisco oil, Dubya can crown himself as emperor.

"Rethinking White House Term Limits"
An Essay by President George W. Bush

In today's America, there are many fine laws that protect the rights of Americans to preserve their vast fortunes. But sadly, there are also some laws that protect the rights of terrorists to do terror. It is essential that we destroy – or at least bypass – these terrorist-helping laws, and we must do it now.

Topping off the list of these laws which support evil is the eight-year term limit for President. True, the eight-year term limit used to be an effective way to ensure that domestic regime change occurred – but that was before terrorism, when wars were short and change was a good thing. When the enemy fought as a nation, the Commander-in-Chief had the luxury of being able to invade an evil country, exterminate its people, and be holding tickertape parades before his term was over. Indeed, a Commander-in-Chief could even last eight years or less without compromising national security.

Sadly, those days are behind us. Terrorism is here for the long haul, and we need to fight it on the long-haul timeline.

In 2008, at the end of my term, everything I have built to take out terrorists at home and abroad will be at the mercy of a new Commander-in-Chief. Why should we take that kind of risk? If you were winning a football game in the first quarter, would you put in your second-string quarterback?

I don’t think you would – and I wouldn't either.

17. "She said she worried about her husband on his travels"

She ought to worry, he has created many enemies.

[LibDemAlways]

18. "No one wants war."

She's either a pathological liar or a bigger moron than the waste of DNA she married. Those two deserve each other.

[Media_Lies_Daily]

20. The NeoCons have been Illegally squatting in the White House....

[electricmonk]

[susu369]

25. Bush's wife - had to read to see which one was babbling nonsense

[Demeter]

26. On That We ALL Agree!

In fact, more than 5 minutes of Bush in the White House was too much.

[area51]

41. "more than 5 minutes of Bush in the White House was too much."

Got that right. :mad:

[yorkiemommie1]

49. absolutely !

[shadowknows69]

28. There's the setup

Dateline 2008
McKellan: "I think the American people know that Empor....um er...President Bush believes in term limits, but the American people also realize we're in a long term war on evil and The President's suspension of the national election is well within his consitutional powers after the recent terror attack on our soil."

[SammyWinstonJack]

33. Ah Geeze!

:-( I can envision that scenario and it's so very depressing. Think I'll go :hide: for awhile.

[54anickel]

35. I was wondering the same thing - why even bring the topic up?

It's not even an issue unless King George and his court have been plotting their next move.

[54anickel]

40. What's up with Hoyer anyway? He wants term limits repealled?

http://rawstory.com/news/2005/Democratic_leader_defends_push_to_abolish_presidential_term_limits_No_Bush_f_0705.html

The Democrats’ number two in the House, Minority Whip Steny Hoyer (D-MD) has defended a push to end presidential term limits, and told RAW STORY that concern in the blogosphere that his proposal could mean “Bush for life” is baseless.

Hoyer has introduced an amendment to the Constitution which would repeal the 22nd Amendment, which states that the president is able to serve no more than two full terms. He has submitted a similar amendment every Congressional session since 1985.

snip>

The other co-sponsors of Hoyer’s amendment are Reps. Sensenbrenner (R-WI), Pallone (D-NJ), Sabo (D-MN) and Berman (D-CA). None of the latter returned calls for comment.

snip>

Hoyer, meanwhile, sees Congress as an additional check on the president, in any term.

If the term-limit rule was repealed, he says, “sufficient power resides in the Congress and the judiciary to protect our country from tyranny.”

[54anickel]

43. Waiting for a natural disaster, contagion or terrorist attack to kick

that Doomsday legislation they passed in January into effect. That will toss out the Constitutional requirement for “a majority of each Chamber shall constitute a quorum to do business.”

Shudder to think of what they'll do once that kicks in, the entire Constitution is "on the table" at that point.

29. I'm surprised she can remember anything.

[Orsino]

36. Beats the hell out of eight years in the *rest* of BushAmerica...

[bunny planet]

37. 8 years feels like an eternity with your husband in office Pickles.

[Geo55]

38. That's right you little drone

"The president is anti-war. No one wants war. But no one wanted what happened on September 11 either," she said."

....continue to conflate Iraq and 9/11.....hubby's lil' pinhead.

[zann725]

39. Eight yeas too many, indeed! Especially to 'spirits' of our forefathers

who (in spirit at least) still inhabit these hallowed halls of the WH, shaking their heads and hands, with heavy heart...saying "Why..."HOW" did we ever go wrong?"

Jefferson, FDR and JFK/RFK would be most distressed at the current 'state of affairs' currently conducted in these hallowed halls...making mockery of Democracy, and raping our Constitution.

[0007]

45. Condi sez 8 ain't enough I want all of junior

[Moochy]

46. Is this the "emperor for life" trial balloon?

just wonderin... since they like to speak in opposites and leave us in the reality based community behind while they make new realities that we continue to study...

[MakeItSo]

47. they always say the WH is like prison

So W will have lots of practice...
