Gibbs: Obama Willing to Be One-Term President to Pass His Agenda (video)

C-SPAN ^ | August 21, 2009

[Free ThinkerNY]

"He is quite comfortable with that."

[Mogollon]

1/2 term would be preferable.

[Recovering_Democrat]

Like he has a choice.

Why not save us the trouble and RESIGN, Hussein?

[fujimoh]

One year sounds better! Now is actually a good time for him to vacate office! Put Ron Paul in!

[2ndDivisionVet]

Let’s take up a collection: Offer him $10 million to leave right now!!

[Aria]

So even if we hate it and the general public realizes they were totally lied to by candidate Obama he still wants to pass his communist agenda.

At least they’re admitting who they really are.

Obama Willing to Be One-Term President to Pass His Agenda (video)

'Follow me over the cliff' is typically not the best rallying cry for getting the troops pumped up.

[green pastures]

“He is quite comfortable with that.”

Finally something we can all agree on.

[dinoparty]

This is an admission that the public doesn’t support his agenda but he will do it anyway.

Fortunately he also needs Congress (at least on domestic matters) and I think the blue dogs, and even some traditional liberals, will start peeling off in droves.

[alarm rider]

That was possbily one of the dumbest things said in a long time.

[RexBeach]

This is a lie, methinks.

[Voter62vb]

I bet Obama is freaking out even with all his horses and men around him. I bet having the “big boy pants on” is just too much for him...and the novelty, shall I say buzz, is wearing off.

Yeah, I bet he would like an out and to blame it on rascism, Rebubs, martyrism or bitter clingers.

It must be hard to be Soro’s Sheehan- especially with his own media questioning him.

[GonzoGOP]

When you start talking like that you are already a lame duck. One of the President's best tools is to ask the congresscrooks to give him something he wants now and he will help them with something they want in his second term. Like telling the blue dogs that if they back him on health care and get booted out of office because of it he will make them an ambassador or the new dog food tzar or something with a similarly large paycheck for no real work.

Once a president looks like a one term wonder he can't get anything done because he can't pay off the favors he needs.

[paulycy]

That was possbily one of the dumbest things said in a long time.

That's for sure.

If it were a good agenda the people would be happy to re-elect him after it was passed.

So what does that attitude say about the perceived quality of his own agenda?

[2ndDivisionVet]

"One year sounds better! Now is actually a good time for him to vacate office! Put Ron Paul in!"

Why not David Duke and Cindy Sheehan? Or Mitt Romney and Cynthia McKinney?

[Dianna]

This is an admission that the public doesn’t support his agenda but he will do it anyway.

My very liberal cousin has no particular problem with socialized medicine. She hates this bill, hates the way they've gone about trying to get it passed. She called to ask me if it were dead.

When I explained the reconciliation option she was FURIOUS.

One term ... as “President for Life”.
