In an interview with CNN in China, President Obama opened the possibility to not running for re-election in 2012 -- something that no president has done since Lyndon Johnson.
Here's what he said:
"You know, if - if I feel like I've made the very best decisions for the American people and three years from now I look at it and, you know, my poll numbers are in the tank and because we've gone through these wrenching changes, you know, politically, I'm in a tough spot, I'll - I'll feel all right about myself," Obama told CNN's Ed Henry.
"I said to myself very early on, even when I started running for office, I don't want to be making decisions based on getting re-elected, because I think the challenges that America faces right now are so significant," the president also said.

Ping.

There won’t be a USA left, so he can’t run for re-election.
Precisely!
This is a LIE of EPIC proportion! When has he been honest about anything before? (Think campaign finance, tax pledge, promises about "his" bill when he has no bill, the list is long.)
It is a mere Publicity Stunt!
He wants his peeps to beg him to stay.
He wants to be the victim of Fox News.
He wants ... ink.
Malignant narcissists do not abdicate authority.
.
BOzo might just quit before 2012.
I have a better chance of having a sex change operation too.
Anyone remember the end of the movie, “The Candidate”?
“Now what?”
Obama lies! You cannot believe ANYTHING that comes out of his mouth, anymore.
You mean, I can’t just take people out and have them shot like dogs? Awwww.....
I’m watching 0bama now interview on Fox and he actually said “We can’t add to the Def.”
As a general rule, he says the opposite of what he means.
And even his supporters are starting to *criticize him*! Being President was supposed to be All Adultation, All the Time! It’s unFAIR!
The puppet don’t decide for the puppeteer.
I read when media asked what they discussed Netanyahu told them they would know later ( or some such.)
BTW, Rahm Emanuel was in that meeting. Why was that? Unusual,right?
I hope Netanyahu had a surprise in his briefcase for the punk,like maybe a BC or something just as damaging to keep this punk from running again. He's not to happy since the Prime Minister's meeting. Certainly punk had no teleprompter in this CNN interview. I've printed just to count the "you knows". Also he calls Iran, Iraq in his first mention about Iran.
This man has no working brain.
By the time the next presidential election takes place this country may be so far gone due directly to Obamaâs Marxist/fascist policies that there is no way he will serve another term.
It’s always “me, myself, I” with this idiot.
Sounds like Obama feels like he maybe shot his wad - and lost ...
Why would anybody believe Obama? He is a proven liar!
Sarah Palin for President.
Condi Rice for Vice President.
The winning ticket at the race track in 2012.
Book It!!
Maybe Obama saw the 2012 disaster movie and has given up all hopey-changey?
