Picture emerging of Obama as arrogant, bored, and 'peevish' about campaign

His students knew he was a joke. He lectured to empty rooms.

Every President tries to be re-elected as long as he is eligible. The only recent cases of Presidents voluntarily not running again are Calvin Coolidge in 1928, Harry Truman in 1952, and Lyndon Johnson in 1968, and each of them had served part of an earlier term before the one they were elected to.

The media will be determined not to let a Republican win in 2012, and I expect Obama's team to use the same sorts of dirty tricks they used to ensure his victories in Illinois (destroying the opposition candidates).

I’ve been saying for awhile, as soon as his numbers implode, he will explode and woe be it to those who will incur his wrath till they get him out of office. The only thing stopping him from turning his cohorts like Holder loose on the populace is an attempt to keep a few of his commie demmies in line. Don’t be close to the epicenter when he finally unwinds.

You’re right about state-run media. I do think they’re getting fed up a bit now though. If you read the questions from the press conference, they really tried to nail Gibbsy down on the 40% tax exemption for unions. The reason is a lot of these network people have the same Caddy plans and aren’t exempt. They are not happy and THAT will be what ultimately causes then to begin to question “the one”.

What is great is it is getting worse for him now. His church speech about himself today was pathetic. He felt so sorry for himself because of those mean people on the other side.

We need to continue to press this guy. He is falling apart.

Cammpaigning is beneath the god-child. Lo, so is democracy. It's impedes his divine will.

There is no sense of humility in this man. He truly think he is more then a man and all this is for him.

Remember when Beck got trashed for saying more or less the same thing you did? Beck was right then, and you’re right now.

“That maybe, finally, when he got to be President, this would be a job big enough to engage and hold Barack Obama’s sustained interest, because really, is there a bigger job out here?”

You, Carol Platt, are an intellectual lightweight and a moral child(at best). Based on the the above quote I wouldn't let you run a pop stand. You, Carol Platt, are OBVIOUSLEY no less the affirmative action hire that Obama was.

If I remember correctly, Calvin Coolidge decided not to seek re-election because his son had passed away.

His younger son died in 1924 during the previous election campaign. That may have been a major reason why he didn't run again but maybe not the sole reason.

Coolidge died suddenly in Jan. 1933--before the next Presidential term ended, so he would have died in office if he had been re-elected in 1928. (Of course, the pressures of office might have brought his death sooner--just as LBJ might have died in office if he had been re-elected in 1968 rather than two days after that term ended.)

Obama is the reductio ad absurdum of affirmative action.


Wait till he gets kicked out of Government housing. Humiliating.
