Boy, that’s pretty subtle—notice the outrage and focus on this from the MSM. Maybe they like the idea of King Obama. He can just fart miracles and is not even President yet!

Nice timing!

I believe this is a part of a bigger plan that may surprise us all by it's outcome.

Yup, more of the promised "Change" crap. Oh yeah, there WILL be CHANGE!

Fasten your seatbelts folks. It is going to be a long, bumpy, downhill ride.

I am with you on term limits. If these clowns were not constantly trying to get re-elected, they might actually look out for the good of the country.

But, but, but...Obama is already the best president we’ve ever had in the entire history of the Republic (if not the world), and he hasn’t even been sworn in yet.

I have been in favour of Congressional term limits since I was a wet-behind-the-ears high school student. I think that a Senator who cannot do anything of note after two terms is just flippin’ lazy or dense. Three terms should be plenty for any Representative.

I agree with you, there was more to the plan, than getting this marxist puppet in the White House, sadly, our country will never be the same ( I fear )!!!

I am sick of the stupid polls which give Obama a high approval rating when he has yet to do anything as President. It would be akin to you getting a good evaluation at work before you actually start the job.

This is fully in accord with George Soros’ strategy. Getting a socialist autocrat elected president is but one of the elements of the structure he is erecting.
For example, the first step in Soros’ campaign to eject Norman Coleman from the Senate was to get one his men elected Minnesota’s Sec’y of State, a key to stealing the election for the comedian.

"......there was more to the plan, than getting this Marxist puppet in the White House....."

Indeed, it seemed obvious to me from the beginning that the great almighty "O" was nothing more than a puppet on strings for for a hidden wizard, a dark, ominous, puppetmaster that seeks nothing more for this country but to weaken it, so that other forces in the world may increase!!!

I really don't like the looks of this at all.

Never ever forget Soros' ultimate dream of banning all guns worldwide. Rebecca Peters (Soros allie) suceeded in her campaign down under. It comes up at the UN every year I think.

Your request needs to go to the Admin Moderator to be noticed, I think.

I think you’re being too generous to them.

I propose this. Limit ALL of Congress to 2 terms, 4 years per term. After which, they are barred for a period of 10 years from running for ANY other office, OR Lobbying. The Lobbying element should have jail time attached if they are caught trying to do it during the probation period.

As for their pay, it should be not one dime higher than the national median average income.

As for Housing, let’s look to the way we house members of our Military. If “dorm style” housing is good enough for men and women we ask to make the ultimate sacrifice for their service to this country, it should be more than adequate for members of Congress. Now, if they want their own homes near DC, and they can afford it, let them pay for it out of their own pockets.

I would keep the length of terms as defined by the Constitution but limit the number of terms. I do like your idea regarding housing for Congresscritters.

Good Lord - why not simply declare America an Obamanation and declare the bastard “President for LIFE”?

Clearly - a large percentage of American have lost their freaking minds.
