This is the first move to gauge interest in not stepping down was president. Manufacture a crisis, to the point of suspending the election.
“Well, he was going to remain in Washington anyway. We’ll just let him stay until the crisis is over.”
Likely you are not much off the mark, if at all. Looks like the public is being conditioned to accept the messiah's "permanent" presence in DC, which will conveniently morph into a permanent presence in the White Hut.
Can't take the Obama out of Obamacare, so he'll volunteer to stay "only" until it is fixed (which will be never, the goal being to destroy the US and repurpose/recreate the nation into the vile image of demoncrats).
