CHARLESTON, SC—After spending two months accompanying his wife, Hillary, on the campaign trail, former president Bill Clinton announced Monday that he is joining the 2008 presidential race, saying he "could no longer resist the urge."
"My fellow Americans, I am sick and tired of not being president," said Clinton, introducing his wife at a "Hillary '08" rally. "For seven agonizing years, I have sat idly by as others experienced the joys of campaigning, debating, and interacting with the people of this great nation, and I simply cannot take it anymore. I have to be president again. I have to."
He continued, "It is with a great sense of relief that I say to all of you today, 'Screw it. I'm in.'"
In a show of respect, Clinton then completed his introduction of Hillary Clinton, calling her a "wonderful wife and worthy political adversary," and warmly shook her hand as she approached the podium. A clearly shocked Mrs. Clinton got halfway through her speech about the nation's obligation to its children before walking briskly offstage.
A spokesman for Sen. Clinton's campaign had no comment...

What's most hilarious about that is we all know the ONLY thing that really stopping this from happening is the 22nd Amendment.
HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! |

FDR was in office for 4 terms and ended up dying half way through his 4th one. He was the only president I ever knew for the first 12 years of my life. I just took it for granted that he would always be there - our great white father.  |
