    WILL BHO leave office in January 2017?

    I know, the question in itself is pretty out there. But is this supposition a lot more believable today than it would have been 4-5 years ago?

    BHO has acted in ways that has obviously exceeded his authority, the latest being as to Immigration. He knows he didn't have the Authority to usurp the current Immigration Laws, Laws that were passed by Congress. But he did it anyway. So in view of his actions to date, is it really that inconceivable to think that he might try and "extend" his stay in the WH?

    If we had a catastrophic event, like a 9-11, late in his Term, I could see him make an argument that "at this critical time, it is in the best interest of the American people that we not lose the continuity of our fight, and that in leaving the fight now, would not be in the best interest of the American people, nor the incoming Administration."

    The thought of this is not so extreme today. Not with this extremist President.

    That might be enough to start an uprising. I've read that there's speculation Hillary will have him as VP...who knows. Absolutely nothing would surprise me with these dem's...

    I also recall conservative talk radio pushing the point that there should not be an election in '04 because of the crisis (war) in Iraq. There was similar tin hat fear that Bush/Cheney would declare marshal law or something and suspend elections. It was quickly pointed out that we still held elections during WWII, so we don't always forget history.

    I agree it's out there. But you know what, so is BHO. At this juncture, I would not put anything past him, nothing. I think he is a power hungry narcissist who would do or say anything, and has had me thinking, so this is tyranny looks like?
    I never thought that about Bill Clinton. I knew he was a liar and philanderer, but I never saw him as a radical leftist like I do BHO. Don't recall him having a problem with the Constitution either. Clinton was a politician first, liberal second.

    Just from recall. if you search for "DeForst Soaries" you'll get various hits on postponing the 2004 election due to terror attacks. It's understandable that would cause concern of an administration staging a fake terror attack to stay in power - the tin hats still think 9/11 was an inside job. But the funny part to me was I distinctly remember Bush supporting shock jocks going with that story and claiming we *should* postpone elections given the extreme terror threat we faced. I'd guess Limbaugh, but I don't know for sure. No one took this seriously on either side except for the extremists. But the noise was loud enough that Condeleza Rice had to make a public statement refuting the rumor.

    This whole BHO staying in office nonsense has Limbaugh written all over it, BTW.

    Calm down - by "Limbaugh", I didn't mean you. I meant the guy making millions by spouting this non-sense; not someone doing it for free on a message board.

    So people like me that don't believe there is conspiracy at every turn by either the likes of Bush or Obama are horseblinded?

    If we want to talk history, think back to the multitude of historic situations where the populace was saying, "Oh, that could never happen" ...and then it did.

    History should have taught us to consider every possible scenario and prepare for all of them.

    As a sort of solace to this scenario, don't you think our military is anti-liberal? Don't you think that someone in the Pentagon would step and say, "oh no you di'int!"

    Just recollection but a vivid one, but the Rice statement in response is well documented. Just because the shock jocks says something doesn't mean it's taken seriously - it just means they have a microphone and attract attention. I don't personally know anyone that believed Bush was going to postpone or suspend elections. Likewise, I don't think anyone other than an extremist thinks Obama will attempt such a stunt.

    I didn't say that - in fact I explicitly said that Rice publicly had to refute the speculation. I said (or tried to say) that the conservative shock jocks were saying that Bush should do this and that it was justified. I remember listening to a call in show with callers falling in line saying it would be dangerous to hold an election while we were under orange/red terror alerts. The response from Rice that the US didn't stop elections during the civil war or WWII pretty much quieted the debate. But do recall the times in '04 - it had been long enough since 9/11, that people were getting over their fear and starting to realize the anti-terror tactics by the government was starting to really impact liberty. The idea that we should be prepared if a terror attack happens at election time seems rational, but it's easy to see how it could create a loophole for a bigger power grab.

    In case I'm not being clear, I'm crediting the Bush administration for doing a good job on this issue. I'm also saying the question in the title of this thread looks just as wacky as it did when it came up in '04. But I'm just a horseblinded fool and everyone here can send me a big I-told-you-so when BHO is president come Feb. 2017.

    You are a fool who doesn't have a clue about Limbaugh's show, yet believes the insanity from the koolaid providers about him. Perhaps even more of a fool if you think I believed you were ignorantly attacking me personally. Dang man, that drivel is so silly it truly is sad for our country that there are more besides you who think that way.
