Well folks, are you ready for another 4 (8) years of Billary? I thought that we did away with kings and queens over 200 years ago when some people decided that they did not want that kind of government any more. By the time we get rid of Billary, perhaps Chelsea will be ready to run.
Maybe we should just save time and trouble and amend the Constitution so that the presidency is passed around among two or three designated families. I am sure that the Kennedys will apply to be included if they ever get any who are not drunks or spendthrifts.
Seriously folks, I think it should be considered. I am going to write up the amendment right now. Maybe I can get a grant from the Bush/Clinton/Kennedy Foundation.

It is all about CHANGE CHANGE CHANGE. That is why Barrack Obama should be elected president. You hit the nail on the head with this post - Barry O is the best choice for REAL CHANGE!
King Bill, Queen Hillary and Princess Chelsea. I like it. Some times you need to give up a little to get the experience everything thinks they need. Looks like the aristocrats are still in charge and will be for a long time. So much for democracy.
I don't support an amendment, it is not necessary since it happens already. If we made it an amendment then people may wake up and see how a few families already control our country - and then it may change.
Change is needed - vote RON PAUL - a strict constructionist of the Constitution. An amendment is NOT what the Dr. orders.
The post was not intended as an endorsement of Obama, Paul, or anyone else. Frankly, like many Americans I have not made up my mind who I will support, but I know that it will not be Billary.
So far in this campaign there has been very little discussion of the "dynasty" issue. I think the phenomenon is the same as the endless Hollywood remakes of successful films from the past. Financial backers are willing to invest only in proven commodities. Certainly, there is risk in supporting or contributing to a candidate with no name ID.
Other than GW Bush, we have only one example of a dynastic presidency and that was John Quincy Adams a long time ago. Roosevelt does not count because Teddy and Franklin were distant cousins, they were from different partys, and were probably as different ideologically as any two presidents could be. Interestingly, there is only one known photograph of Theodore and Franklin together.
Finally, I have a question. Is there anyone who seriously believes that offered the choice between Billary and Obama, any great number of black voters will choose Billary? After over 200 years of struggle to rise from slavery and attain equality with whites (still not fully achieved) will any black voter not choose Obama who is the first black candidate in history to have a real chance? What do you think? Isn't this the "elephant in the room" in the campaign?
