http://www.rightwingwatch.org/content/right-wing-outlet-obama-may-give-himself-third-term-so-he-can-go-more-vacationsAfter years of promoting the birther myth, WorldNetDaily is now embracing the conspiracy theory that President Obama will illegally remain in power after the end of his second term. WND editor Joseph Farah writes today that since Obama was pampered in his youth and never sacrificed or wanted for anything material in his life, he and his family have been living it up in the White House by going on glamorous, taxpayer-funded vacations.
Citing Obamas alleged love of vacationing, laziness and immense satisfaction from ignoring the rule of law or placing himself and his office above it, Farah concludes that there may be a strong incentive for him to make the White House a more permanent home rather than leave office.
Do you really think Obama wants to give up the most powerful position in the world and one that affords him this kind of unimaginable, excessive, non-replicable luxury? Farah asks.

Edited for clarity. Not all DUers were that stupid. Just some.

I know we ragged on him for his vacations ("Now watch this drive!" ), but I don't recall any third-term nuttery.

(51,461 posts)8. Dear WND, Here's the scoop on that from FactCheck (2014)
Q: Is it true that George W. Bush took more vacation days than Barack Obama?
A: Yes. Before his two-week trip to Marthas Vineyard in August, Obamas count was 125 full or partial days and Bushs total at the same point in his presidency was 407.
