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.

1st term lame duck
Obama will do whatever Satan tells him to do.
He may be afraid that the birth certificate issue will be forced next time around. The republicans should make a huge deal out of showing all background papers and birth certificates and force his hand. In the back of his mind, he knows he was not born in Hawaii.
Hey, BO, LEAVE NOW! The People’s HOUSE is an open door out!
“Sarah is already my president!”
Is this how you would refer to her if you met her as President? As much as I support her, it bugs me to no end the familiarty with which people refer to her. She is a public figure and to refer to her as just Sarah diminishes her. She is Gov Palin, or Sarah Palin. She is not just Sarah. It doesn’t show much respect for her as a public figure to refer to her this way. She has earned a bit more consideration than to refer to her as if she is a best friend.
Sure, there’s also a chance that it may snow in DC next August.
I’d rather Obama left long before another three years. He hasn’t figured out those Marxist professors he gravitated to while in college were dead wrong about everything. Nit-wit.
Translated:
I will try my hardest to destroy the country in three years and leave the socialist mess for someone else to clean-up. I’ll tour the world with Gorby extolling the wonders of communism while I rake in multi-million dollar appearance fees in places like Venezuela, Dubai, Libya and China to destroy capitalism and talk down my replacement. After I re-declare my muslim faith.
I don’t believe this somehow.
???
I sure hope he checked with Shelley on that first. I don’t think she’s done partying and eating yet.
Has Barack EVER run for re-election? Or does he just move on down the road?
And there are some moves to require candidates on the ballot in different states to provide proper paperwork showing their eligibility for the office they seek.
Biden would make a better lame duck, if only because he’s funny.
Think of all the nonsensical and politically incorrect statements.
The State of the Union address would have a drummer (da da da)
The only decisions he has made has been to the destruction of the U.S. economy. The chinese, japanese, iranians and indians are all laughing at this clown. Only he actually thinks they are laughing with him, not at him.
He’ll fold us into the new UN government by the end of 2011
Lets just see what the boss has to say about this........she loves all the attention and the 27 free servants (paid for by the US taxpayers)
You are correct, Sir.
Anyone who believes a KC Star headline quoting a CNN interview with President Obama should really rethink whether or not they are qualified to exercise their right to vote.
Prezidentin’ ain’t easy!
