"I'd rather be a really good one-term president than a mediocre two-term president," he told ABC's "World News" anchor Diane Sawyer in an exclusive interview today.

Um, maybe you should aim for one-term president and see what happens from there.

Over-reaching is considered tacky.

[RichInOC]

Well, we can arrange half of that for ya, sport...

[Guenevere]

Or, as Brit Hume suggested....if he keeps going the way he's heading, he will get neither one.

Obama: The Home Invasion Presidency

Geez!!! All the time I though when the MSM called Obamao HIP they were trying yo tell us he was sophisticated; all knowing; and aware of everything.

[Darksheare]

Of course he’s lying, he’s Barack Hussein Obama, as well as Barry Soetero, who is still ‘present’ and supposedly articulate, but somehow cannot string two coherent words together without his sockpuppet master’s hand up his backside coaching him via TOTUS.

[hoosiermama]

IMO if he ever had a psychological evaluation, number one on the list would be denial......Imagine it was necessary mechanism in order to deal with his mother and grandparents.

[Tallguy]

After Obama gets schwacked in the mid-Terms, the Dems will be ready to show him the door. He’ll pull some significant primary challenges — including one from Hillary who will resign soon. Obama will pull an LBJ & make a grandiose announcement about not running for re-election.

My 2 cents.

[Palladin]

This only indicates that his handlers have told him to be more humble publically. Privately he is still a megalomaniac.

This is just one of the subtle changes we will see in his speech and mannerisms since the Massachusetts election.

First Year: F
If he aces the next three years, his grade point average would be 3.0 which would make him a good president, but so far in the first five days of his second year, he is still earning a solid F!

[Uncle Miltie]

First, he’d have to accomplish something.

[chiefqc]

Must suck to br him.

[agrace]

That was my first thought too - somebody thinks he isn’t going to be re-elected.

[Palladin]

Yeah...all that, plus he wouldn’t have to shower and shave every day anymore.

[Darksheare]

And this proves I’ve been awake too long!
%-)

[bethelgrad]

I don’t think he’s got it in him to do more than one term anyway, even if his numbers were high.

[dr_who]

Does he promise to be a good one term president? If so, we won’t impeach the sumbich.

[dr_who]

Does he promise to be a good one term president? If so, we won’t impeach the sumbich.

“Really good” is relative. A really good marxist hell-bent on creating crisis to push their socialist/communist agenda?

“The judgment of the ethics of means is dependent upon the political position of those sitting in judgment.” Alinsky

[Hell to pay]

There is no way he will run for a second term, lest he be exposed to criminal charges for defrauding the American public. Surely one state will pass the natural born requirement to even be on the ballot, something he can’t demonstrate.

[depressed in 06]

"I'd rather be a really good one-term president than a mediocre two-term president,"

That is one of the most arrogant statement I have ever read. How dare your folks not vote a second term for the One.
