President Uribe: a third term?

Most Colombians aren't opposed to President Uribe running for office for a third term. My position doesn't matter. Uribe should groom a potential President-to-be and leave the country running as successfully as it has been. I don't want to equate Colombia to Russia, but look at how over-involved Ex-President Putin is in Russia's affairs. President Uribe could step aside and continue to influence Colombia without endangering Colombia's already fragile democratic institutions.
