Washington, DC President Barack Obama shocked the country this morning with news that he is running for a third term.
I cant abandon the American people now when they need me more than ever, Obama told reporters at a press conference this morning. Weve come this far as a nation, now is not the time to do something different. This is the change you wanted and this is the change youre getting.

I was so happy to see this posted on Facebook this morning followed by freakouts from a few of my family members who surmised that this is the end of America and lord god jesus is coming to get us soon.
Oh yeah, it's a joke, not real, made up, bogus....but some of these people who believe it are hilarious.

(14,449 posts)There is no way he would want to work another 4 years as president. First of all, he has aged so much in such a short time that by the time another 4 years rolled around he might look 80. He worked 8 years and deserves to go do other stuff. He would NEVER want to be President for another term or life like so many believe he does. What would the incentive be? I don't get scared "cats" at all.

(1,446 posts)People are falling for it and I am staying out of it as much as possible unless I can give a well reasoned poke to the hornet's nest. After someone commented that Obama has a huge ego that never ceases to amaze them I tacked on a comment that he must figure it is the only way to keep our troops and money from being sent to every country in the Middle East. That should kick things up a little.

Responder 1: Holy crap, Please Tell Me THIS Is A JOKE!

Me: Once they opened the FEMA camps recently and finished collecting all the necessary ammo you knew this was going to happen.

Responder 2: Really. I don't think 3/4 of congress will repeal the 22nd Amendment for this clown.

Me: If not, it is a good thing they collected all that ammo so he can keep it by force. Start packing for a FEMA camp.

Responder 2: He hasn't collected my ammo or guns.

Me: No, but he has a full arsenal at his command at this point. He certainly wouldn't make this move unless he had the backing.

Responder 2: He's no Hitler. I don't think the forces would back him.

Responder 1: Responder 2, the problem is anyone who opposes this guy is considered a racist. They impeached Clinton for getting his dick sucked. This one violates every policy or law that gets in his way and no one does shit to him. He truly is untouchable.... I am scared where things are headed in this country.

(16,254 posts)Obama is running a little ahead of schedule, right? He wasn't supposed to announce this until late 2015. Hmmm! Must have rescheduled the rest of his plans, as well.
Give it 15 minutes and then check the Freepers. In the meantime, I'll take my popcorn and go sit on the front porch so I can watch my resident Tea Bagger come tearing out of her house with hair afire.

(1,446 posts)I am going to find some FEMA camp links to add to the Facebook post I made with this article and see how that stirs things up. I could get some real red-faced anger going on by the afternoon.

(3,539 posts)We need get serious about this. Start a group or forum. Do some word smithing about the advantages of a third term. Those with good photo shop skills can put up some posters. Get a poll up here. Show our support!

Predictable responses---whining about too long to read.
Do the readers at that site realize it's satire? It's well done, but after checking a few articles, I got the joke.

Nevermind, I forgot that you ARE one of those nuts.
This is his response after I informed him that it was satire.
Only a real idiot would post something that is a lie and is aware of it, DUH!!! fact is he has in fact made such a statement but I don't blame you for doing the moon walk. What got you was the fact it isn't gonna happen combined with the fact he's Muslim. You may want to Google your statement and see just how many news outlets make the same statement that he wants to run again.
