Sounds like Congress giving us a timetable for getting something done.

CARACAS, Venezuela – President Hugo Chavez said Sunday he could continue governing until 2027 if voters do away with re-election limits because he needs more time in office to establish a socialist economic model in Venezuela.

He has previously said he could stay on as president until 2021 if his proposed constitutional reforms — which among other changes would eliminate presidential term limits, letting him run as many more times as he wants — are approved…

“I need more time in the presidency to finish this. We are only beginning,” he said on his weekly radio and television program, “Maybe until 2020 or 2027. I’d be old if I’m still alive.”

His proposals would also extend presidential terms from six to seven years, and empower neighborhood-based assemblies called “communal councils.”

Pay not attention to the dictator behind the curtain! Seriously, he’s 53-years-old. 20 years would put him at 73, and that’s if you’re naive enough to believe he’d walk out of office at that point. But, folks, have no fear. Obama wouldn’t hesitate a moment to go have tea and crumpets with this man.
