This is also why we need to put a term limit on ALL political seats. Why would only the president have a limit on number of terms served? Political office should not be a life long position of power. This sort of thing is not much different than being a king. Because how much power does 1 Senator really have? Or 1 Representative?
And it's not like once elected, they are there for life. They still need to be reelected once every 2 or 6 years, depending on the job.
President has a whole lot more power than any one person in Congress.

Especially when he takes every opportunity he can to bypass Congress.

95% is the standard and is referenced in the latest IPCC report. On my phone but I can quote that later, if you'd like.
And, no, King. That's not how it works.
95% is the standard for a lot of experiments, but Floppy seemed to be referencing the entirety of anthropomorphic climate change research as if it were a single hypothesis with 95% confidence. I highly doubt that's the case. Since we like to throw random percentages out, why not include the 97% of 63% of 28% of all climate science "studies" out there that say that global warming is man made.
To the defenders of the religion, that's nearly 100% (97%), while us realists understand that it's more like 17% (97% x 63% x 28%). Point that out to the zealots, and you suddenly become a denier.
That's... not how math works. I don't know what's worse, that you don't know 4th grade math or the 3 people who gave you [+] also don't know 4th grade math....
I guess either you are trolling (highly likely) or you are a byproduct of the American education system and are trying to prove how failed the system really is...

If you are a billionaire you have more important things to worry besides hair.

If I were a billionaire, I'd just wear a wig made out of rolled-up money to save me the hassle.

If I were a billionaire, I'd just wear a wig made out of rolled-up money to save me the hassle. It's also a convenience because you never have to worry about paying for stuff.
Only thing you would have to worry in that case is going bald.

What is this "my side" horsecrap? I've never voted for a Democrat in a national election and would never vote for a candidate by party affiliation. I've said I like Sanders, which I do, for his honesty and refusal to play with PACs, not for his sociopolitical views. Which are coincidentally the same reason I despise trump.
You have a very consistent record of defending claims made against Democrats and attacking Republicans. You claim there are legitimate problems with certain Democrat leaders, but only ever mention them when pressed. You freely insult Republican leaders on a regular basis. I can't go off of how you vote or how you see yourself, I can only go off of the dynamics of your posts in these forums. If you want to shake the stigma of partisanship, you have to actually try instead of making us take your word for it.
He claims that he took the time to go write-in Mickey Mouse last election. *cough*****cough*
He hammers the 'right' side of every issue then when he loses every debate he says 'well I haven't given my actual point of view' like he's Socrates or something.

I'm still pretty sure you would not have said that if Bush was still president....

Obama has a rather subpar approval rating for a president in his last year. I highly doubt that he would win a 3rd term either. Clinton probably would have, and so would Reagan.

Obama's 27th quarter - 46%
Bush's 27th - 35%
Average president 27th - 51%
Gallup.
Were you trying to prove me wrong or something? Par is another term for average. 51% is average. Obama is at 46%, therefore he is sub par. Comparing him to dubya isn't doing you any favors. Clinton's and Reagan's numbers were in the 60s, and H.W. Bush was at 56% and he still lost reelection.

Yeah, and Jimmy Carter averaged 45.5%. You're not making your case very well, and average doesn't mean squat for reelection compared to the final term percentages.

This is a freaking percentage, it isn't some subjective nonsense. His approval rating fits the very definition of sub par. You're having a defend-o-bot cpu overload, let it go.

Never mind it was he first week in office, and it had dropped ever since.
Also never mind that Bush had an approval rating of 90 once also.

Despite that 90% he still averaged 49.6% overall. And still is doing better than Obama.

Your assertion is sub par. That's the best you can come up with?
