Dinah Lord: H.J. Res 15: Rep Jose Serrano (NY-Demonrat) Wants to Remove Presidential Term Limits.

Ole! Happy New Dictatorship from Rep. Jose Serrano!

I used to pooh-pooh all those tin-foil hat whispers about the Constitution being amended to allow President Barack Hussein Obama to become PRESIDENT FOR LIFE.

Then today, I saw this.

WTF?

I calmed down a bit after checking out the Congressman's Facebook page - evidently this is nothing new for him. He's been trying to lay the foundation for a dictatorship in this country since 1997.

Seems to me if anyone needs term limited out - it's Rep. Serrano.

In 1990, Serrano won a special election for the seat vacated by resigning U.S. Congressman Robert García with 92% of the vote.^[3] He has never won re-election with less than 92% of the vote,^[4]^[5] in what is considered one of the safest seats in Congress.

What did I tell you? Looks like the congressman is a huge Hugo Chavez butt-boy:

Serrano was a critic of the Bush administration's approach to handling President Hugo Chávez of Venezuela. In 2005, while the Venezuelan President was in New York City speaking before the United Nations, the congressman invited him to his district to speak to his constituency.
