Obama: Reelection rests on stimulus By: Andy Barr February 2, 2009 10:35 AM EST
President Barack Obama acknowledged Monday that the fate of his reelection four years from now likely rests on the success of the proposed $825 billion stimulus package.
“A year from now, I think people are going to see that we’re starting to make some progress. But there’s still going to be some pain out there,” Obama predicted during an interview on NBC’s “Today Show.”
“If I don’t have this done in three years, then there’s going to be a one-term proposition.”
In acknowledging that his political fortune hinges on the state of the economy, Obama urged the country to be patient in waiting for the stimulus to take effect.
“I do have confidence that we’re going to be able to get it right. But it’s not going to be overnight,” he said. “There are no silver bullets to this. The fact of the matter is that we are suffering from a massive hangover from a binge of risk-taking.”

“One and OUT, if he’s lucky enough not to be thrown OUT before the end of his term!”
My longshot prediction is that after BHO screws up a couple of international incidents, Hillary resigns as SoS and challenges him for the ‘12 nomination.
Two weeks in office and this career politician is already talking “reelection”
Awful shallow thinking if that’s what he thinks.
His alleged reelection depends on much more that the economy.
He bloody well better have done away with illegal immigration, reduced the size and scope of government and cleaned up Al Qaeda, Hamas, Hezbollah any other weirdo who want to kill us.
Geez. NBC really is his personal network.
The little drug addled cocaine sniffing community organizer is already throwing in the towel.
Obama: Reelection rests on stimulus....
Disagree——reelections depends on two items:
1) how long the media can blame and convince the sheeple that GW Bush and wall street are to blame for economic bad news
2) how long the media/Obama honeymoon lasts
duh.
Why else is obama going straight to the CLASS WARFARE HANDBOOK.
They can’t tell the truth and blame congress for FORCING the bad home loans (barney frank, chriss dodd, maxine waters) so they have to attack (gasp!) RICH PEOPLE FOR BEING SUCCESSFUL!!!!!
(s)How dare they earn money! more than minimum wage!!(/s)
Just DAMN......
Claire “the idiot” McCaskell wants the “One” to be the standardbearer for wages.
Sounds like the ‘Basic Income Guarantee’ plan from the Marxists raising it’s ugly head.
I am worried about him wanting a third term.
This may seem like a stupid question, but what are all of these advisors and cabinet members for, I understand that the big majority of them are a bunch of libs, but yet some of them have got to have some type of a brain

I’ll have to find Zero’s quote.....but he said the same thing a week ago while meeting with the GOP.
ONE AND DONE
So getting re-elected is job one for this doofus?That just fills me with confidence.
I guess president zero can’t rely on foreign contributions for his reelection campaign so he is forced to steal from our treasury in order to buy votes.
Rot in he**, you commie!!
Especially if he gets impeached.
