The Republic is saved: Obama says he’ll only serve for eight years

There’s good news for those of you who fear that we’ll never get rid of Barack Obama. He has graciously consented to serve just two terms as President of the United States.

"I think I can screw things up so badly in eight years that they'll never get it fixed."

The Associate Press has the details:

Eight years as president is enough, thank you. At least that’s what Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton says President Barack Obama told her the other day.

Clinton said Tuesday that she and Obama often marvel over foreign despots who want to stay in power for decades.

She told a State Department forum that neither she nor Obama can understand leaders who refuse to transfer power and cling to office for 10, 20, 30 or 40 years.

She says she and the president joke: “Oh, my gosh. Can you imagine?”

Clinton says Obama told her, “I’m going to win re-election, and then I’m done,” a remark that drew laughter from the audience.

One can only hope his powers of prognostication are as limited as his understanding of the Constitution.

    • Actually I want him to have just one term. His arrogance to assume that will win he will win his second term is rather irritating.

  • So we could have nearly six more years of this incompetent buffoon? The republic will not survive it, there'll be economic and social collapse if Obama is reelected in 2012.

  • Heck, it feels like the doofus has been in office 8 years already. Time passes so slowly when your country is being turned into a crony-capitalist banana republic.

  • Our President of the United States, is obviously in love with himself. On his first visit to the United Kingdom, Barack Obama gives the Queen of England a handy little I-Pod as his gift from the him to her. What was in the memory of the I-Pod that draws the "just shake your head in disbelief moment". Obama put a couple of his speeches into the I-Pod so the Queen could listen to him before going to bed at night. This President is in love with himself, arrogant and self-centered. He is a complete embarrassment to the people of the United States.

  • If Oby wan had his way we would crown him and bow down at his feet, and his "family" would be raised to royalty status.

  • He would saty in power 40 ars if he could, except if it meant being competent, of course!
