Can you believe this jerk? What an ego.This man is one step away from wanting to be a dictator.

This man is one step away from wanting to be a dictator.

Which puts him a half-step behind Bush.

uh-oh..Put the flame-resistant suit on!

On the other hand, what's wrong with the idea? I don't think he wants to become a dictator. Besides what if Bush would have thought up this idea? Wouldn't you praise him?

I won't even qualify that with an answer. Suffice to say that your statement is a 100% wrong.Unless your joking.

Nope.I want all offices to be 1 term limits.No matter who you are.

IMO the more oppressive regimes the better, there's just not enough small dictatorships to invade any more

Bill and his wishful thinking. I guess his current job isn't satisfying enough although if allowed to run he would beat Bush.

If I was American, I'd vote for Clinton again, over Bush. I thought he did quite well. It really didn't matter that he had a few interns doing some... you know... I would't be surprised if a lot of world leaders have had that type of... service. It's just it was leaked out to the public in Clinton's case.

Bah, I didn't like Clinton at all. He was a charismatic person and all, and probably would have been a great leader on his own. But he had the WORST staff. C'mon. Al Gore? What was he thinking? (Sorry Gore fans) They 'lost' a couple millions of dollars worth of jet fighter planes. And whoever breifed the guy on Osama wasn't very good at all, hence why the WTC got bombed twice. (I'm not blaming WTC on anyone but Osama and his Terrorist cronies. I'm sayiong had Bill and Co decided to blow the Taliban off the face of the earth, we would have been spared some senseless destruction. It's not necessarily one poor guy's fault either.)

Bush by himself would probably not do too well on his own (understatement). But his staff is very good (except for his PR people, who he needs to replace). He obviously has some able advisors and cabinentmen.

But extending the term limits? No, I think not. One 13 year persident is 1 too many. True, FDR was a very able leader, but he shouldn't have run for more than 8 years.

Washington set the 2 term standard, but it wasn't law until after FDR.

Bush bothers me on a lot of issues but I do see eye to eye with him sometimes.
I am not a very big fan of his staff around him though.
