8 years max is plenty. Increasing term lengths or even just the possibility to do so is a dangerous precedent. It should not happen, period.
Never ends well.

Senators/Congressman get in their lifetime, damn near impossible take out incumbents. One of them goes corrupt and they're in office their whole life, corrupt. Supreme court justices are lifetime..
Some things are dated in constitution.. They were flipping coins to decide winners of the caucuses. Don't you guys think maybe we should update/change the coin-flipping? I don't believe coin-flipping should be a determining factor for anything in this democracy.

Fake coughing in an 11 hour hearing though? Come on now!
No doubt Clinton is legitimately corrupt/crooked/unethical but she started coughing after the 10th hour (8.58pm) so excuse the old lady.
I like the other videos by that youtube user TeamWakeEmUP including this one..
Pastor Orders Female Members To Remove Underwear So God Can Enter Their Bodies
So you really think if Obama campaigned for a 3rd hell a 4th term he wouldn't win easily? A Democracy should allow the people and not the system choose whom they want to lead!

They do decide. And right now they want Trump.
I'm not going to entertain the idea of a third Obama term because it's ludicrous and will literally never happen.

There at plenty of other examples. The latter half of the video had a television interview where she pulled same nonsense. While I'm not sure the exact length of that TV interview, I'm pretty sure it wasn't much more than 11 minutes, let alone 11 hours. As I said, there are more examples, I just think the narration is hilarious on that one.

I think his foreign policy is terrible and it disturbs me how the media lets him lie over and over with no consseuqence. I think he is a charlatan surrounded with yes men and rasputin types. But you are lying to yourself if you don't think he would win a third term.

Obama's approval ratings are pretty good if I recall correctly. Hypothetically I'm sure he'd wash Hillary/Trump

The Electoral Map Bloodbath that would have happened in a hypothetical Obama vs Trump match would be hilarious.

It was 24-74 in May 2012. And he had a 47% approval rating from Gallup then. He's currently at 52%.
You are really bad at surveying politics

No one is seriously suggesting an amendment to allow Obama to have a third term. That not should happen, even Obama himself would probably no want that. Dudes need to relax
We are talking hypothetically, and Obama would wash Trump easily. Obama running means guaranteed high minority turnout, more specifically black voters. Plus his approval rating is above 50 percent, and we're not in a recession.
Obeezy might have a chance to beat his 2008 numbers. It would be a bloodbath. Hypothetically of course

The whole "is the country on the right or wrong track" question doesn't tell you a whole lot.
First of all, people who get polled view the question as a sort of intelligence test. We all know that ignorance is bliss and that smart people are more likely to be brooding so it's natural that people will want to sound smart and be negative.
Second, the country is structurally unsound and unfair. You don't have to be an expert to know that even when unemployment is trending downward and jobs are indeed being created, most wealth and income clusters at the very top.
Finally, the notion that the country is on the wrong track is vague and it is a catch all term. I think that the country is on the wrong track because big business has too much political power. A conservative might think that the country is on the wrong track because of transgendered people using certain bathrooms.
What matters is who do voters blame. In 2006 and 2008, the voters blamed Bush and the GOP and 2010, those who turned out to vote, blamed Obama and the Democrats.

His highest approval rating in years. HE literally just broke 50% a few months ago. So pretty much for the majority of second term most of the country wasn't ******* with him.

And he would have won any hypothetical election in any of the 4 years. By a very decent margin.
So I mean your point means nothing.
Also history will be very kind to his presidency.

Agree on the last sentence though
I give him credit for trying to fix healthcare. System is pretty horrible. Economic situation could have been much worse as well. There are definitely parts of his domestic agenda i like.
Don't agree with alot of his foreign policy and world view (or what i believe his world view is after 8 years and that atlantic piece and others). Shrug.
I'd probably probably miss him if trump got elected.But I have a feeling he will be the most visable ex president ever. He will not fade quietly into the sun at all. So i won't miss him because he won't go away.

I don't he will be involved in politics much after his term has ended, besides campaigning for democrats now and then
But it looks like he and his wife are gonna use his sway to fight for the same stuff he was doing before politics. So he'll still be active in civil rights, especially regarding black people and the criminal justice system

What do u mean by involved in politics. You think he will be able to stop himself from injecting his opinion into current events?

It's fairly obvious how history will judge a president after his presidency as he's leaving office.
Certain things change, but you can easily determine favorable or unfavorable historical judgement of a president as he's about to leave.
