To clarify what Senator Biden said recently, Barack Obama says "...a period of transition in
a new administration is always one in which we have to be vigilant..." and "...We have to be mindful that as we pass the baton
in this democracy that others don't take advantage of it..." [statements made in Richmond, VA, before a panel of foreign policy and military experts]
If I were a conspiracy monger, I might think Senator Obama implies that any democratic transition is a bad thing. And, at the risk of further "fear mongering," one could further conclude that these statements are a premise to setting up an Obama for life Presidency. I'm sure that sounds absurd, but with a Democrat "super majority," could the 22nd amendment be repealed, allowing Obama to serve as President for more than eight years (think Fidel Castro, Hugo Chavez, or the late Saddam Hussein)? Just something to think about as we also vote for Senators and Representatives in less than two weeks.
