Gotta leave an 8 year gap. Otherwise MooseChelle will have a more difficult time getting the nomination in 2024.

After 8 yrs of Lizzie Warren, most Americans will refer to 2009-2016 as the “good old days”

How generous of the Current Occupant. He will not stand in the way of Herself, Madame Benghazi, the Cold & Joyless, in her pursuit of the lifetime dream, Empress - er - Presidentess of the territory once known as “the United States of America.”

His job shall have been completed. The legacy will be secure.

The Roman Caesars had greater job security. Most of them ended their careers by dying while in office. Rarely ever saw a resignation or getting term-limited out.

People died early in those days.

Wow that Constitutional crisis avoided.

All he said was that he wasn't running again. That still leaves the possibility of him declaring himself Glorious leader and President for Life.

“Who was the plant who asked?”

That was my first thought as well. Bambi doesn’t say anything without a reason and I think he is already laying the groundwork. Hillary’s book tour is imploding and her numbers drop every time she opens her mouth...pretty soon there is going to be a flurry of (mostly made-up) articles about Obama’s continued popularity.

And after seeing the disgusting antics of the GOPe in Mississippi this past week, I don’t expect a word of protest out of them regarding that pesky Constitution and some obscure amendment preventing Obama from being sworn in as Emperor!

I disagree.
He knows it’s time to head out and make some serious dough.

He already has competing offers to be an MSNBC anchor or CEO of ISIS. And like BJ Clinton did for Chelsea, Baraq will have to make a grueling sacrifice and give one extra $250,000 speech to pay Malaria’s college tuition.

‘pretty soon there is going to be a flurry of (mostly made-up) articles about Obama’s continued popularity.’

I guess you haven’t been following his poll #s lately. His popularity is skidding downward, but his unfavorables are even worse. I.e.: there are very few neutral responders. Some still claim to rate him favorably, but the rest detest him. There is a nearly 13 differential right now—against Obama. He’s been underwater a very long time. Not even the MSM can spin this as him being popular, & they haven’t tried. The bloom is off Obama’s rose.

Imagine if the machine elects Hillary! and baraq tells her to go pound sand.

He better not mess with her. Her body count record is impressive.

...Michelle bars it — and you can’t change Michelle’s mind," Obama quipped.

It's her turn now, dammit.

Funny, the Constitution has not deterred him in the past.

Yeah, but think about all the folks that will miss you, Barry. What if the fundamental transformation of the country is incomplete?

The purpose of the exercise is not the destination, but the journey. Their write ins would only happen in the general election, sucking votes from Hillary.

It is statistically impossible for a write in candidate to win the presidency.
