Obama says it: There's a chance he won't run in 2012

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.

Burned out already Obozo?

No, he already raided the Treasury by squirreling away about 10 percent of the Tarp money. No reason to stick around...

In other words he is going to totally wreck the place, pardon all his conspirators, and then walk away laughing. Leaving America unarmed, economically crippled, and open to subjugation by foreign powers. His job done.

He's going sign every treaty he gets his hands on, cede U.S. sovereignty and authority to the United Nations, then become Secretary General. King of the World.

Kind of like a terrorist, do as much damage as possible, then run away.

More lies..... If early in 2011, he thinks he can lie his way back into some popularity, he will run again. And he never went into this thinking he’d be a one-termer.

He said he would take public financing too. He’s lying.

I don’t believe him. If he had it his way, he’d be in office for 40 years.

There's a better chance the usurper will be serving time.

He won’t run cause he’ll have decided he’s a dictator!

This has been obvious for a LONG time.

They’ve clearly not been planning for a 2nd term, with all the commie czars & pedo czars, and whatever, it’s just NOT been normal behavior.

I hope he doesn’t run. I still think http://the-left-will-kill-obama.com is a major possibility.

Another hoax?
The narcissic fraud in the WH probably hope that people will pray him to stay!
He knows he is losing supports
