To my friends in the United States…

by Matt Johnston on July 4, 2008

In the United States, Independence Day, commonly known as the Fourth of July, is a federal holiday commemorating the adoption of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776, declaring independence from the Kingdom of Great Britain.

You know what, even in spite of this, we’d still take you guys back.

Only kidding! Enjoy the fireworks and BBQ guys! Miss you all…

Can you just take HIM off our hands?!!?

You had your chance 4 years ago.
I guess this is WHY you limit leaders to 2 terms.

Over here we don’t have a limit, but by the time a leader gets to a third term we just want a change anyway. Takes an exceptional one to go further.

Hm, let me think. Third-term PM’s…

MacDonald: Resigned.

Baldwin: Resigned. Twice.

Churchill’s second term was a two-month caretaker government.

Thatcher: Resigned.

Blair: Resigned.

Only Churchill was voted out, and he doesn’t count.
