Obama won't seek a second term?

[Nitro Express]

Some people who study presidents and other politicians are saying Obama might not seek a second term. The reason why is Obama came into office with one main goal. That goal was to transform the US into a European styled socialist styled government and he was going to sacrifice whoever and whatever he needed to accomplish his goal. Unlike other Democratic presidents like Bill Clinton, Obama doesn't seem to follow strategy to hold the office. He seems to have one agenda and he's going to push it regardless of how popular it is with the people who put him in office. Clinton on the other hand was a politician at heart who spent years of his adult life trying to get the office of president and once he had it he relished in it. Clinton loved being president. Obama does not. He turns over the actual governing to others while he simply signs bills into law and sells his agenda. He has no regard for anyone but himself and his ideology. Bill Clinton was known to be a micromanager wanting to be in every aspect of governing. Clinton even killed his wife's healthcare bill when he recognized it was not popular with the American public. Bill was out to win at all costs and was flexible to do what was necessary to keep himself in office. Obama is above doing that, in fact, he seems to think the US stage is too small for him and wants to be known as a world figure. The man also seems to loath being president when Bill Clinton reveled in it and loved it.

Many seem to think since the American people were onto Barrack Obama's plan early and this election stops his progress, there is no point for him to continue as president. Obama is failing at his primary goal. Many think he would rather sell himself as this great international figure and go around the globe getting his huge ego stroked rather than change his style and agenda to get the White House another four years.

Many of us would love to see him quit and turn it over to Vice President Biden. Biden at least is a normal scummy politician and not some holier than thou demigogue who thinks he above everything including even bending his will to get re-elected. Do us all a favor Barrack and quit now!

Unlike Clinton who would do anything to hold the office and enjoyed the office, Barrack Obama loathes having to bend to public opinion and hates being president if he has to bend his ways to keep us happy.

Mike Malloy was speculating on this last night. His idea was that Obama should issue a statement saying that he would not run again, and then declare war on Boner and Bitch McChinless.

Not a bad idea - if it clears the way for Dean/Feingold 2012.

Ford will like me saying this. Howard Dean is a real Democrat and Obama is not.

[Nitro Express]

The fact is to turn this country around we need to cut the massive spending and borrowing. Both the Democrats and Republicans have done just the opposite. The Republicans are back but we will see if they can walk the talk. The American people want the economy to come back and right now businesses aren't hiring because of the political situation. Washington has to behave in a manner where people feel there is some stability and then we will see the start of a new recovery.

I agree, this SCROTUS is an arrogant egomaniac accountable only to himself.

This is a neurosis, and neurotics are obsessed with themselves and their own desires. He'll grab at every straw to stay main DNC nominee before giving in to such an idea.

He NEVER negotiated with Republicans.

He negotiated with his own Democrats. He had too. They knew if they voted for his shit they would not be re-elected. And lookie what just happened. Obama strong-armed, begged, bribed & pleaded with these people to stick their necks out for him when everyone knew damn well they would just get their heads cut off next election.

Obamas Dems had to make a choice.

Vote with him & get whacked at election.
Vote against him & get whacked Chicago style.

[Va Beach VH Fan]

Oh, he'll run.... At this point, though, not very confident he'd win....

And the reason for that is, as GAR loves to say, is the "hoodwinking" of the American people....

Most Americans don't pay enough attention to Congress to realize that for the last two years the Republicans just said no, no, no and filibustered to everything, ignoring the FACT while their boy Bush sent our economy in the toilet, sending millions out of work .... Of course, not much got done, and of course, they blamed Obama and Pelosi.....

So now, Republicans take the House, nearly take the Senate, and unless you're immensely dense, will NEVER compromise with Obama....

Obama probably won't budge much either, probably vetoing anything that would happen to come out of the Republican House and maybe making through the Senate....

So by 2012, the typical American person will see four years of no progress, blame Obama, and thereby vote in some Republican schmuck....

And if that happens, by the way, I hope it's Sarah Palin, 'cause you fuckers deserve it.....

[Seshmeister]

He had to negotiate with his own democrats that had been bribed by insurance companies.

[GAR]

And the reason for that is, as GAR loves to say, is the "hoodwinking" of the American people....

He's dodged the business of mishandling the economy and running government leaner in bad times, for the opportunity to push thru trillion-dollar bills that would - if they were books - take at least 3 years each to research and write by teams of experts and they're still defective.

He was more interested in the banking agenda of keeping 400 trillion ghost debt floating for as long as possible, because he represents anyone but the taxpayer.

Now they want him out, did you look at how vast the Change cost him in midterms? And he's interpreting that goodwill as "people just don't listen to me" and ignores them.

Therefore, he's a bad representative and should be fired, Henry Paulsen and his crew arrested with Tim Geithner on charges of racketeering, treason and perjury to Congress and shot for theft on the largest scale ever in history. In fact the most recent conspiracy theory is, Obamas switched all the gold in the Reserve for goldplated tungsten bars, taking it all to Iran by way of India. I'd like to see a recent audit of the Reserve by the national assayer!

Good gravy, have things really become so bad that the American people deserve Sarah Palin as president?

Obama's poll and approval ratings are right where Reagan and Clinton were in the two year mark of their first terms.

I mean, never say never, but the idea that Obama won't run again doesn't seem realistic. If for no other reason than the fact that the opposition party at the moment doesn't have a candidate to put up against him with a chance of winning.

If the economy keeps slowly ticking upward and unemployment comes down, even if it's just a percentage point, in the next two years, Obama will win in a walk.

If everything gets shot to hell, there's always a chance people will elect any quibbledick from the oppo party out of a fear reflex.

Hopefully, people will consider that the problems we face as a nation aren't such that can be solved by the usual two-party zero sum game of negative back-and-forth, nor are they problems that any one man in the WH can solve alone.

Overall, America is no longer a serious nation. Everyone is too quick to sue somebody else for a quick buck, blames everyone other than themselves for their own bad life choices, buys into the "everyone gets a gold star" mentality...a sense of being entitled to do whatever we feel like whenever we want without pondering future consequences. No sense of sacrifice for the greater good or devotion to any causes larger than one's own self.

America, by its own lessened standards of today, deserves to fail.

- both hamstrung and succumbed to threats by the Pelosi 2006 congress.

Sleazy backroom deals, buy-offs, fraud premises, promises NOT to raise taxes yet everyone's health insurance is up in double-digits.

He's only turning to liberal Democrats, and Mitch McConnell says insisting on keeping Obamacare intact is going to keep the blockade going even further.

People have rejected his brand of communism, if you doubt it's obamas policies that are the problem, just note that the GOP won Obama's old seat. not a dem.

I could tell Obama didn't care about the US or our culture when he was campaigning. He wouldn't show respect during the National Anthem or Pledge Alllegiance. He wanted the US flag off his campaign plane. It was apparent he not only wasn't one of us but seemed to loath everything we stood for.

He came in office with one agenda and one agenda only, to roll over the US Constitution and replace it with a socialist dictatorship. He didn't care how unpopular he was and showed disdain for the average American. He knew best and then after the election had the gaul to blame the voter and say we were to dumb to understand his perfect, infallable plan and he was in such a hurry he couldn't market it very good but it was basically our fault that it got derailed.

He's not going to bend or change and without absolute power the White House is going to be a miserable place for the egomaniac. He wants to be this great world figure anyways. I could see him being happier running the United Nations full time or having a position of power in the European Union. It's obvious he hates this country and if he can't dupe us into falling for his big change program, he's just going to take his ball and go elsewhere.

The guy is a nut job who should have never been elected in the first place. Obama was a costly lesson.

Obama never negotiated anything. He goes out and sells his plan and tells what lies he has to in order to sugar coat the sell. He said himself his agenda was more important than a second term and Nancy Pelosi said she didn't care if she lost some seats in the house because passing the legislation was so important. The whole thing was passed in the middle of the night on Christmas Eve and nobody ready the damn bill including Obama himself. They had the majority and were off to the races to pass as much stuff as they could and Obama thought he would get enough done where it couldn't be reversed. He thought the American public would stay duped longer.

All this crap about flags is a bit silly now, the US is over 300 years old now time to grow up a bit.

As far as Obama in Europe he's still to the right of most of our conservative parties we're just relieved you don't have a fucking retard in charge at the moment which reduces greatly the chance of a worldwide catastrophe.

If the 2012 election were between Palin and Hillary....I'd vote Hillary. As much as I hate to say it, she is the lesser of the 2 evils. She sure has been awfully quiet while the country realizes Obama was a mistake.

Republicans can win if they put up a decent candidate. I honestly don't know who that is though. I used to like Mitt, but he has been out of sight pretty much. Donald Trump? Maybe as VP. Dude is extremely smart. I used to hate him until I read his books.

[Seshmeister]

That's true, I think Obama will probably get back in if he just keeps his nose clean and the economy starts to recover a bit because chances are the Republicans are going to end up fielding a complete bozo candidate after a huge fight with themselves.

It's kind of nuts though that people are talking about the next election already. This is the reason nothing ever gets done politically in the US, everyone spends their whole time campaigning rather than actually doing something.

[Nitro Express]

Obama will have to do what Bill Clinton did and give in to the Republicans and work with them but Bill had a good economy and was not a radicle like Obama. I think Obama will stick to his guns and if he runs he will lose. It's going to be impossible to get anything done the next two years because the government will be in stalemate. Who knows what will happen to the dollar in that time. I saw this coming a long time ago. I can hunker down for awhile no problem.

I don't think Palin will get the Republican nomination. It's being openly talked about that one of the biggest challenges of the Republican Party is to get rid of her. She isn't as popular as the media makes her to be. In fact, I don't trust her, I think she has sold out already plus, she just isn't intelligent enough to be president. Obama is smart enough but sadly he thinks citizens should just be serfs to the enlightened ones like himself. If Obama was half-way honest and wasn't such a socialist elitist I would like the guy.

The death was contemplated because we both visited our uncle and once we are back home my late brother fell ill and died at spot. I later found out that our father left a sum of (6.5M,USD) Six million Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars in a box and deposited in one of the security company here in Kenya in our names. But the uncle later process on trying to change the documents to his name and it came to our notice and we have put a stop to that. Also I have contacted a lawyer who will help to secure back all the documents on my name I am just 48years old boy .

Therefore I need your help if you can assist me to have this documents be prepared so that the money can be transfer to you also you will make an arrangement to enable me get a India visa to travel out from this country to join you in your country to enable me to continue with my education so that I will have a bright future back in Harvard when I'm unemployed 2012.

Finally I plead with you to consider the danger of my life over my uncle to enable us come to a conclusion on how you can handle this to the Glory of God.

Hoping to read from you.
