Just so quit now ~ no big deal! In fact, I bet you’d be much more popular if you did quit now.

Very revealing statement. It means he doesn’t care about serving people and its all about him being president. Once he achieved president he was essentially “done”. A true servant of the people would never make such a statement.

No shiite, Sherlock. Off the top of my chrome dome I can only think of one former president to run for another federal office, Andrew Johnson.

Pray that the democrats don’t decide to Martin Luther Kingize him..
The funeral would last for months maybe a year..

Babys would be named for Axlerod, Saul Alinsky and Holder..
And a Holiday named on Obamas birthday if we could ever find out when that was..

and gifts given at the future... Big Ears of Hope Memorial..

American tradition dictates that former presidents should happily assume humble positions though usually not elected ones.

John Quincy Adams served in the House after serving as President but I guess there can be no steps down for Obama.

Don’t forget the Baraq Hussein Obama Presidential Library and Choom Gang Museum - with three branches - Hawaii, California, and Chicago.

People had been predicting that if he lost it would stick in his craw so badly he’d pull a Grover Cleveland and try to come back for a non-consecutive second term.

On Dec 21, 2012, Obama will have had a little over a month to stew in his humiliating, crushing and unexpected defeat at the hands of the American people.

He’ll still be Commander in Chief.

He’ll still have the nuclear ‘football’. Just sitting there. Staring at him. Taunting him. Daring him. Double-eaten-dog daring him...

"Off the top of my chrome dome I can only think of one former president to run for another federal office, Andrew Johnson."

John Quincy Adams ran for, and won a house seat after his presidency. Taft later served as Chief Justice, which of course he didn't exactly "run for." John Tyler ran for, and won a seat in the CSA House of Representatives, but died before he was seated.

If he wins, he won’t HAVE to run for office again. He’ll be President for Life.

This pompous ignoramus. Reagan’s, Bushes’s and even Jimmy Carter’s campaign for their second term was also their last campaign. Not sure about Clinton, he’s been running for something.

It matters not what he says as he has proven beyond a doubt he will lie about anything as all modern democrats (who are now progressive, marxist communists) must do as everything they believe in has been proven wrong numerous times.

Last summer he stated he did not care if he had a second term. Cannot remember a single US president stating such during his first term. What Obama actually meant was, he wanted a second term more then anything else. And thus, look where we are.

Now he states he wont run for another public office. Since when has any ex-US President ever run for any political office ? Cannot remember a single one. So what does this mean ? He wants a third term and a fourth term and on and on. This is the American Chavez. If he wins a second term he will seek additional terms.

Begin rant:

I can’t help but think this whole Obama picture is a charade designed by a Leftist criminal mind such as the criminal mind that created, and managed the Weather Underground, William Ayers, financed by Leftist criminals such as Soros, Strong, Lewis, and others in an attempt to cripple the power of this Nation, the only major super power on this Earth that protects what freedom that remains on this Earth so they can proceed uninhibited with the goal of the New World Order they envision.

IMO It’s been a major effort by the Left since Clinton’s time. Obama is the consummate yes man. He, and his if they choose to remain in such arrangement are set for life no matter if the win, or lose as their handlers pulled all the strings. Obama just said yes, and did as he has been told to do.

I think it’s one “H” of a sting. (Cue the movie theme song “The Sting” at this point.)

Not only a sting on Americans, but the Free World. Ultimately some players should be going to trial, and then to jail, perhaps some even before the wall with blindfold.

end rant.

I hope this means he plans on offing himself when he loses.

Well, if he loses, he faces the prospect of this:

You know, deprived of free worldwide flights and vacations in Hawaii and Martha's Vineyard on other peoples' money.

Not something I would particularly relish facing, myself...

But it couldn't happen to a nicer Marxist.

Cheers!

Every president says something like that when they're running for a second term, but Obama gets positively weepy here.

Another audience that wasn't so devoted to him might just tell him not to bother.

Remember, this was the guy who also said he would take public funding for his campaign, who said he would never raise any kind of taxes on those making less than $250K a year, and who told America he never heard anything bad come out of Jeremiah Wright’s mouth.

Essentially, he is a liar. A LIAR.
