LITTLE ROCK, AR – Bill Clinton wants to be President again and thinks The Constitution should be amended so he can run in 2012.
Former President Bill Clinton made a speech at The Clinton Library in Little Rock Arkansas. He was dedicating a bridge built on the library property. The former President gave a long speech and at the end he shocked the audience by saying he wants to run for President as the Democratic Nominee in 2012 and he wants the country to amend the Constitution in order to do so.
Clinton told the crowd that eight years is not enough time to get things done. He feels that the second term is always a lame duck term and that certain Presidents – like himself – should be allowed to serve three terms.
“When they passed the 22nd Amendment in 1947, people did not live as long. Today, President’s are healthier than ever and if we have a good one in the Oval Office, we should keep him there for at least 12 years,” Clinton told the crowd.
Clinton is going to speak to Congressional leaders to see if they can get the Amendment wheels in motion. “I know I can save this country, if the people would just put me back in office. The last time we had a surplus I was President. I can do it again.”
So, he plans on challenging Barack Obama for the Democratic nomination?
“No comment at this time,” Clinton said.
Insiders, however, are saying that Barack Obama will forgo running for a second term and step aside. That will leave an opening for Bill Clinton – or his wife!
“There may be one scenario in which Bill Clinton will run against his wife Hillary for the Democratic nomination,” said Doug Schoen, Democratic Pollster and longtime Clinton friend.
James Carville, Clinton’s fiery campaign advisor, said that he would sign on “in a heartbeat” to help Clinton win the nomination and the Presidency. “If he runs, there isn’t a Republican on this planet that will be able to win even one state,” said Carville.
Many Democrats feel that Clinton was the greatest President of the 20th Century, and perhaps the greatest President of all time. So many are getting excited about a third term for Bill Clinton.
“Bill Clinton was our first black President,” said Congresswoman Maxine Waters. “The Congressional Black Caucus would support Bill Clinton over Barack Obama – unanimously.”
Things could get very interesting in 2012.
Bill Clinton was the best! I miss the 99 cent per gallon gas that went up the minute GW was sworn into office. I don't think we can ever get back to a dominant manufacturing position again without a complete revolution. The corporations own the government.
Let bill Clinton run for president again. He had a few mishaps while in office before but he did good by the country the united states of America. We need to get back to beable to live a life with no wooeys or money problems for all us citizens here and if ur looking for a cabinet member if they will let u run I like to be a part of that we can make a new difference in this country of ours I’m in.

Go Bill. Power to the people.
Bill Clinton's presidency set the stage for the financial collapse and bailouts. Glass-Steagall was repealed on his watch. Electing him again would be a terrible idea. Stop being sentimental. Nostalgia won't do us any good. Unless he shows that he understands his mistakes and won't repeat them he's worthless to me as a president.
Thank you.
What we need to realize is the others who are in office as well. All because a person who might of been president was in the office when things got better, or worse, it does not mean they causec it.
I think we need to change the rules on those who are still in other offices that might of played a part in the down fall of things such as congress giving themselves a raise when the others in society are striving to survive.
We need to fix tghe income those in officve are able to receive, or gain, by being in office and after they ran in office because it feels like those who are in our offices take advantage of our taxs for themselves andnnot for the people…most CEOs would fire you by how silly it has become on those in offices mis using our money the people's money.
LMAO. I love all the comments where people believe this article to be truth. This is WWN, a spoof tabloid that spins the truth in order to be humorous, obscene and unrealistic.
There is some truth to this article, though. Clinton did state that he wants the 22nd Amendment changed in order to allow Presidents to run more than two terms, but he also specifies that it should not include him or any other current or prior president.
I'll do the homework for those that are ignorant and foolish enough to believe everything they read, even (and especially) when its from a news source such as WWN. Here's a real news article. Take a gander and learn what's really the truth.

COME ON BACK BILL !! WE HAD A GREAT 8 YEARS BEFORE THE CHINESE TOOK OVER OUR COUNTRY. GWB LOST OUR SAVINGS AND OUR COUNTRY.
It is my opinion that Bill Clinton had a 90% success rate, and I would immediately take him back. George W. Bush had a 45% success rate. Bill Clinton left the country in tact, and just a little bit better. When G.W. Bush left office he became a wrecking ball and destroyed everything in and beyond his sight. He destroyed the country and actually had the audacity to say, "Now let's see him fix it."
…CONTINUED
Him being President Barack Obama who was left with a success rate of 30%, and he knew, as well a the country, although the country may not have wanted to admit it, that he could not untie the knots that G.W. Bush had tied. President Obama's success rate is at a -40% and falling. He will leave the White House without having accomplished anything. He was set up to fail by G.W. Bush and the country crumbled and continue to do so under his watch. He should not look forward to another term in office.
If the law is changed to allow Bill Clinton to run for the office of President again, then that will also open the door for George W. Bush, and Bill Clinton may never get in. George W. Bush is a sociopathic who has his own agenda and it definitely is not for the better of the United States. Bill Clinton is a decent thinking and caring man, I do believe he will understand and not seek to have the law changed..
Didn't Bush Jr. Suggest this for himself in about 06' ?

Bill Clinton was a fine president, and while he had personal issues, no more than many presidents we had who were beloved such as John Kennedy. Under Bill Clinton's watch the country expanded, multiple people were employed, the budget became balanced, family leave act and multiple other issues prevailed. I believe if the country started a internet petition for presidents to run a third term there is a president with FDR and other presidents. BILL CLINTON WOULD NOT BE RUNNING A CONSECUTIVE TERM, which may be a legal qualifier. GO FOR IT I'D BE THE FIRST TO SIGN.As a Democrat I've had a tough time deciding who I'll vote for this time.I believe President Barack Obama has good intentions, but we need someone to take leadership and cut through all the fighting in congress to restore the middle class.Health care is still a issue of inequality to all, and JOBS are a major issue as is housing. Bill is a great multi tasker and enlists great cooperation to tackle problems. jg
clinton was a lousy president. why in the hell he thinks he was a good one is beyond understanding. reagan was the best president in my lifetime. i am 58. ronpaul would be the next best. palin also wold do a fine job.
You're right you are 58. It's time for a change in the government.
Dana: You are a master in absurdity. What is really beyond your understanding it is anything logical, sensible and intelligent.
You are a master in absurdity. What is really beyond your understanding it is anything that makes sense.
Anyone but Obama! His intentions for us American people are not good!
John Foster for President
My family will vote for Clinton, if Clinton is not on the ballet than we will not vote this year. When Clinton was president the country was in a better position, bring back Clinton for president
I think President Clinton should definitely run for president again. Don’t get me wrong, I think President Obama is a good president, but Clinton could really get things turned around in this economy. He has done so before.
President Obama is the least respected by the Republicans than any president ever in this country. Luckily, his stature is higher than any of them could have imagined. He has been unshakable and more dignified that what they can ever conceive. Shameless and repudiation is what they deserve!
I thought Hilary would have run.
Why do you want Hilary in office? No one voted in the last Presidential nomination. Hilary is no good. If she became president, the country would go downhill with Hilary which is why she didn't win the last presidential nomination. We don't need a woman becoming president. We need a good, outstanding president. Hilary is no good.
Sandr, dont be sexist. Its unAmerican.
I'm 63. I'm a democrat. I would vote for him before anyone else. If presidents were voted in for how much they did for the country instead of stuff that should have remained personal, he'd win by a landslide.
HaHa, no he wouldn’t! He was an awful president, even if he hadn’t done the “personal things”.
Pleeeease, how can we get Bill Clinton to run again. I am disappointed in O'bama and will not vote for him. Clinton has the experience, and I believe knows how to turn our country around.
I will write him in if I can. Last election I saw no place for write ins. If we would get rid of political parties, it wouldnt be such a taboo for someone to oppose the president if they were in a similar political boat. Maybe people would accept longer terms if we focused more on the person and not the party.
I hate Bill Clinton, but anything is better than Obama.
When did you start that crap about approving my comments?
