i dont understand how that would be possible, the limit is two terms. i could be wrong but i think there is a constitutional law that says only in the middle of extreme circumstances could additional time be gained. that could be a false statement.
If this were a dictatorship, it'd be a heck of a lot easier, just so long as I'm the dictator.

I once heard a talk on the mashed potato circuit from a former DIRNSA that our country has "nuclear missiles pointed almost everywhere in the world," and by the way "with care not to harm our own forces."

Has anyone pondered this question, lately?:
What if, when the time comes for Bush to leave office and turn over the keys to the Oval Office to his successor, he decides that he is not ready to go? Suppose, just for the sake of arguments sake, that some new "terrorist" attack or "National Emergency" should occur in the weeks either directly before or directly after a new president is elected and he decides to pen another Executive Order, claiming that the need of the country and his oath of office supercede the Constitutional mandate that he leave office after his second term. Now add in to the mix the variable that as Comander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, he directs the Joint Chiefs to use all available force to enforce his order and suppress any civil unrest.
Pretty crazy stuff, right? But is it so far out of left field that you can not for a minute imagine it happening?
That is the subject of my latest Lightcast and you can hear it here:

Tune in and then post your thoughts and opinions in my comments page;
I promise I won't be surprised or upset if you want to call me crazy or paranoid but I suspect that I am not the only person on this site who has had the same thought, though they were probably smart enough not to mention it to anyone.
Thanks for listening.
