Chris Graham: A third term?

Granted, it’s Neal Boortz, and a discredited self-styled financial guru. Oh, and Rush Limbaugh. All are musing aloud on the possibility – in their minds, certainty – that Barack Obama will figure out a way around the Constitution to seek a third term in the White House in 2016.
