A serious WTF moment - END22

This is an egregious power grab -- no wonder Obama is so supportive of the Honduran president who tried (and failed so far) to end the restriction on term limits. President for life Barack Hussein Obama? Not if I have anything to say about it... From the END22 website:

REPEAL THE 22ND AMENDMENT
Franklin Delano Roosevelt was elected President of the United States four times. FDR died early in his fourth term after serving three full, successful terms. It was his leadership that brought our great country out of Economic Crisis and War.

Congress passed the 22nd Amendment on March 21, 1947 to limit future Presidents to two terms and took the choice out of the hands of the American People, where it belongs.

History has no way of determining what would have happened to the United States if Roosevelt had been limited to two terms and had been unable to lead us out of the Great Depression and through World War II. With our current crisis, the American People need to take back their right to elect the leader of their choice. The task is too large and the risk is too great - we must act now!

The hyperbolic emphases are all theirs. What a steaming pile of crap: "lead us out of the Great Depression" Roosevelt prolonged the depression with the same kind of spending on make-work projects idiocy that Obama is trying today. I must note that the WPA did some wonderful work on the National Parks and the dam and hydro systems are still running fine. Do we see Obama doing anything there? No. It was only the entry of the United States into World War II that the factories started getting real jobs and the Federal monies started to pay for those salaries that the economy started to turn around. As a War leader, Roosevelt was basically ineffectual; fortunately, he knew this and he became the go-between between the Military and the general public -- fireside chats and all that. People like Patton, Eisenhower, Groves -- they are the ones who won the War. There is no information as to who is behind this -- the about page has the following:

Launched on January 20, 2009, the day of Barack Obama's first inauguration, END22.com was founded by a group of ordinary Americans: Democrats, Republicans and Independents, who found common ground in their belief that the Twenty-Second Amendment to the United States Constitution is unnecessarily restrictive and takes away the basic right that we may select the person of our choice to lead us.

It will be interesting to do a little digging...
