OBAMA 2016! Because the world needs a good president...
Ok, ok, I admit to residual giddyness attendant upon watching Prez announce the appointment of, inter alia a Nobel Laureate teammate.
And even though there may be small-minded and carping cynics who smell a whiff of "today America, tomorrow the world," bear with me.
The world faces problems that can really only be solved via world government.
This guy has the chops to actually herd 200 c(ountries)ats.
Geopolitical change happens at internet speed, and we are seeing boundaries fall between classes, across oceans, erasing estrangments, bridging languages, blah blah blah...
Just because there is no job called World President today does not mean there will not be a primary in 2015.
On to Iowa!

Seriously though, if he does well, how well can we push for a third term?

a third term?
Point well taken...
It would not be too soon for the judiciary committee of the House or Senate to start hearings, more or less for public education, about how anti-democratic term limits are at their heart, why the limit was initially imposed, and how it was unnecessary (Hey, Roosevelt limited his own term...), and the like.
Then, an amendment needs to pass both houses (I think no Prez signature needed...) and goes out to be ratified.
Start today, you'll be glad for it tomorrow...
