It's just entertaing watching those US Presidential Debates:D

The 4 year two term limitation was to limit the power and inherent corruption that comes with that power. FDR could have remained president indefinitely due to the power he had amassed. He crippled the country with his policies, but had instilled too much fear in the people for them to vote him out.

What you saw really wasn't a debate, in my opinion. It was more of a question and answer drill and some of the questions were ridiculous--in an effort to be more modern and acceptable to young people, the moderator asked such silly and unimportant questions such as "Coke or Pepsi" and "Elvis or Johnny Cash"--who the hell CARES?! We have 4 year terms to limit the damage one person can do. We've almost been financially destroyed by this current administration. We also have allowed 2 terms maximum so that a good president can continue his success. However, we haven't had one that deserved two terms--or even one--in a very, very long time!

LetranKnight25, I too try to watch the debates. I use them to get a better feel for the candidates. Watching their body language, eye contact, etc can help to either reinforce, or change my mind about a candidate. I do have to agree with you, though, they were certainly rushed in their answers and that did not do much for fair and reasonable debate, at least in my opinion. I did find it interesting to watch their responses and to see which would try to avoid the questions, avoid eye contact, etc though. While I understand that they were not given much time for their responses, and they did want to get their various positions out, some of the candidates tried to get off subject on some of the harder questions. I also agree completely with one of your earlier responses, what difference and importance is what soda, music, or even pizza crust the candidate prefers when you consider the seriousness of our country's current economic state, deficit, national debt, and unemployment rates? And we mustn't forget the state of the housing market........**SIGH**

hi, you're right,even me really loved to watch those scenes,i love to hear those messages and debates of each political people,last year when the president position was open and those who want to occupy it was debating on what they can do and what they give to the people of our country,because they were fighting and argued for that position.

they are planning to have a Presidential in 2012 while the world will gonna end in 2012 also? hehehehe anyway, who's the lucky guy will win for their next presidential election, it is still a good president that are capable to run the most powerful countries in the world.... no matter who's elected and win, they are all fitted to be the next president...
