^^
don't really see the big deal there
I would use it too given the same situation
and Linda you would too if you could afford it
your other comment makes no sense
unless you have heard he is trying to get the law changed to allow another term
even if he was it would never happen under a sitting president
Politics - Lovely Linda - 26-03-2015
No, I wouldn't use the health care system if I could afford.
I just saw alot of videos on youtube that Obama is thinking about another term.
Of course I know I can't believe everything I hear or see on youtube.

I know and the President surely knows he's Constitutionally forbidden any more terms of office. It's no mere law. This Amendment was passed as a result of FDR's popularity and length of office. The max now allowed is 10 years (2 full terms + a partially-expired term [the Prez dying or resigning, and the VP stepping up]). There's no way to cheat or subvert this amendment. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twenty-second_Amendment_to_the_United_States_Constitution I try to filter everything I hear or hear of through trusted sources from all sides. Hysterical fantasy doesn't need my help to be spread--it does fine on its own.

BTW, anyone notice Obama might be seeking a third term. Clinton tried and failed.
I think Obama might just make it happen. He has a way of hyptnotizing people.
He sure charmed the sox off those U.S. Congress Republicans... The Big Question (this week's version) was asked and answered above.
Politics - Lovely Linda - 27-03-2015
Well, we shall see what we shall see.
Like I have heard it said in the past, there is not a Dime's worth of difference in the Dems or Republicans.
Politics - Lovely Linda - 27-03-2015
BTW, hope I didn't insult anyone by what I said!!
I sure didn't mean to do so. I was talking mostly about the Politicians who work for and with him.
I like y'all guys. Even jazz :biggrin:

America is in dire need of a leader - instead of the usual suspects. Neither the Dems or the Reps have a leader among them. One that will actually stand up to big business - the ones who really run the country.

Agree that we need but it's not going to happen. All great leaders have flaws, sometimes deep ones, that will get exploited by the oppo forces. And because of the truth you told about who "owns" America, compromises need to be made on the way up that will keep any would-be leader in thrall. I'm glad I'm as old as I am because I won't see the end point of all the current forces arrayed against ordinary people. The great mass that's eternally milked. "Socialize the risks,; privatize the profits" and meanwhile hope your car doesn't disappear into a sinkhole or your home doesn't get washed away when the over-aged, under-maintained dam breaks.
