If you can find a reputable website to show otherwise, I'd actually like to see it, as I teach this type of stuff and if there's an exception I'm unaware of, I'd like to know. :)
But of course, this is off topic from the main point.

No sense worrying. Even Assassin's grammar is wrong sometimes. (See the neither/nor versus neither/or discussion above).
You have an interesting point about a second term President without fear of re-election. However, I would opine that most big ticket items historically occur in the first 100 days of most administrations. Moreover, President Obama is unlikely to have a Democratic Congress by his side at any point in the next four years presuming he wins.
I'm not entirely sure Romney would be much different. He may streamline government operations some, but I'm not sure he will really touch the third rail entitlements spending.
