I think he would go so far as to try and eliminate the 2 term length a president has to indefinite so he can be the dictator that he wants to be. He has no intention of giving up his power to anyone. Watch and see. This is one scary man that is a danger to democracy here in America.

I really hate to be a conspiracy theorist but there is a possibility that this may be our last real election. I really believe that Obama and his most fanatical supporters believe he should become our permanent leader with no limits to his power. Just look at their view of Congess and rule through executive orders. Many believe that Congress, the Constitution, and courts are an impediment to the great visions of our imperial leader. His agenda is too important to be stopped by Congerss and the courts. Many, including Obama and his most ardent supporters, have actually said this. Our president has said that he will circumvent Congress. Bev Perdue, the gov. of North Carolina, wanted to suspend congressional elections to give the great man the power to do what is necessary to become our country's savior. These people really are frightening. I never believed I would hear these statements in the US.

Its like we have said before, We have to vote this threat to American democracy and freedom out of office. There are going to be alot of dead people voting again this time, maybe more so we have to get the word out and all of us need to vote for Mitt. Like him or not, vote for him. If we can't pull it together them we can kiss our freedom good bye in less than a year I will bet.
