In 2012 he said he wouldn’t volunteer for another four years before changing his mind getting re-elected until 2016. In Iceland we do not have any maximum term laws for presidents. In a 2005 speech in Britain he famously said “you ain’t seen nothing yet” when talking about Iceland. He himself travelled a lot for single companies abroad on their private airplanes to talk about how great Iceland was and the Viking blood our investors have allowing them to become filthy rich. His wife is a billionaire owner of a family jewellry company who said in 2008 after our handball team got silver in the Beijing olympics games the equivalent of “Iceland is not a small country, it is the biggetest country in the world”. He did it twice with the Icesave laws following our economic collapse, in 20,both of which were felled by the public. He was our fifth president (we became independent from Denmark in 1944) but the first one in Iceland’s history to use a law that allows him to refuse to sign a law passed by parliament and making a referendum on it.

I was at a farm so I didn’t have a chance to write this sooner which is why those news are a bit dated. It was a major shift for both with the post-movie time jump and introduction of Serpentor. I hope you talk about the new seasons of the Transformers and GI Joe cartoons in the next couple weeks when they debut in the next couple weeks. It was the first movie they ever let me go to by myself, probably because they could not stand it anymore, but it was the perfect escape for me. Thankfully this movie came out and my parents took me once a week for probably the 4 weeks it was in the local theater. I was kinda lucky in that my parents made good money and knew how rough it was by spoiling me with toys mainly Transformers and GI Joe, but I still missed my friends. My dad worked for a small private college and we lived on campus, so I had no opportunity to make friends before school and really, once school started, it was rough being the new kid. I was 10 and just moved from a small town to Philadelphia, literally after my last day of school in 4th grade. Thanks for all the Transformers:The Movie love this week.
