Obama
"[T]he objective of this trip was to have substantive discussions with people like President Karzai or Prime Minister Maliki or President Sarkozy or others who I expect to be dealing with over the next eight to 10 years.
Hope we have time to get the 22nd Amendment get amended. Unless, of course, he can get elected and pack the Supreme Court with lefties, in which case they can read the byzantineley worded Amendment,
No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice.
to say that twice is actually a term of art meaning "thrice."

Perhaps it isn’t a gaffe. You cannot be president of the 50 states for more than two four year terms (barring succession the death or resignation of the previous president). Maybe in the 57 states he talked about you can be president for ten years.
Like the banned and then recalled Barbie doll used to say, “Math is tough!”
Freudian slip
Hell, with the help of his civilian force (the one that will be just as strong, powerful and well funded), he could well be in office 30 - 40 years.

So the length of the term is pro-rated depending on the numbers of states. Works for me.
Suffice it to say, if this joker gets elected, it will be a funny 8-10 years.
In his dreams.
Remember in the World War II movies where they’d try to trip up enemy spies and moles by asking them questions every American should know the answer to?
Obama’s 0-for-2.
Being a socialist, Obama is probably thinking about Lenin, who established the dictatorship of the proletariat in the Soviet Union.
Caramel colored Caesar.
Made-for-you ping
Hey Chauncey (Chance in Being There) - that can’t be right—not unless you are planning on pulling a “Koo day ta”.
Geez, this guy is arrogant. His head has swelled so big, he’s going to have to order a new crown.
He’s like a retarded energizer bunny - he just keeps going, and going.
Can you imagine the outrage if McCain had said that???
Good. Maybe they won’t let him back into the country.
Sounds to me like he's referring to THEIR longevity, as if he's gonna be in office indefinitely...
Like the impeached ex-President, he is already planning how much money he will make lobbying and giving speeches after he is out of office.
He gets an extra two years for Affirmative Action.
Hmmmm, “potatoe” - a mocking and outrage over the stupidity...”57 states” and president for “8 to 10 years”...the sounds of silence.
I don’t know who is stupider, him or the researcher on his campaign. Yes, someone can be President for 10 years. If they are the Vice President and the President dies, the VP can be president for two years and then elected to office twice. 10 years max.
But unless Obama plans on being his own VP, and then dying and resurrecting, he will not be President for anywhere near 10 years.
