Obama wins Presidential debate

When I said Obama would seek a third term… They called me a conspiracy theorist, they said it couldn’t happen, that the 22nd Amendment makes it impossible. But as I explained on live radio years ago, “he could have a proxy… while he remains in control of the administration much like Putin did in Russia.”
