This is about the time Barack Obama becomes bored with his job.
He's in his second year as president, and he's discovered that even with all the powers of office, he can't do everything he wants to do, like remake America. Doing stuff is hard. In the past, prosaic work has held little appeal for Obama, and it's prompted him to think about moving on.

According to the book, the majority leader invited Obama to his office for a talk. "You're not going to go anyplace here," Reid told Obama. "I know that you don't like it, doing what you're doing." Reid suggested Obama run for president. Obama had been a senator for all of 18 months at the time.

As he became frustrated in each job, Obama concluded that the problem was not having the power to do the things he wanted to do. So he sought a more powerful position.
Today he is in the most powerful position in the world. Yet he has spent a year struggling, and failing, to enact far-reaching makeovers of the American economy. So now, even in the Oval Office, there are signs that the old dissatisfaction is creeping back in.

But throughout his life, his reaction to frustration has been to look for a bigger job. What does he do now?

The Roman Senate used to applaud Caesar too.
Next stop: “King of the World!”
"The reason this isn't working is you people are too dumb to see how brilliant a plan I am offering you."
great graphic!
This NEW info is from GAME CHANGE...THOSE REPORTERS, Halperin and the other guy, should have reported this BEFORE the election!!!!
You are correct, he is indeed a lazy sumbitch.
He believes that his role as president is to merely identify broad initiatives, and then let the underlings do the heavy lifting and scutwork. the lazy Obama does little original thinking - his initiatives are all old, leftist, racist goals that he learned about in late night discussions at the universities.
Nope—After one term as POTUS, he will become Secretary General of the UN. Obama will “imagine” that he has more power there, but he will have far less. Its easy to be smart later...
Maybe it’s time for a Putsch?
I seriously do not get the point of that.
Obama is the worst kind of politician: he loves power for power’s sake. Obviously he is not the first politician with those sensibilities, nor will he be the last. But most pols (even Dems up to about 1970)were at heart Americans and understood their own country. Obama doesn’t understand America at all. He sees it like Howard Zinn saw it: a cruel place, ravaged by the free-market, that needs a Marxist overhaul to achieve “social justice.”
Obama has done lasting damage to this country through his destructive policies, and he's established himself as an extreme radical, who's more in tune with Karl Marx and Stalin, than he is with Washington, Jefferson, and Reagan (or even Clinton, for that matter).
American Presidents leave much more than a record of governance behind when they're gone. They leave lasting, and very real impacts upon the direction and health of the nation and its people.
It will be impossible to ignore the after-effects of Obama's presidency, and very hard for many people to differentiate those ill effects from his image. He has become the face of everything that Americans reject about the entitlement class of minorities.
Americans had largely grown out of, or matured beyond the point of identity politics, and had risen above the prejudices of yesteryear, but racist opportunists like Obama and other race hustlers wouldn't let it die. Oh no. "The struggle" could not be allowed to die before they could profit from using the majority population's natural impulses of regret and shame against them.
Obama was elected by the American people as a final act of atonement for the sins of past generations against black Americans. That he has gone on to prove himself to be anything but "post racial", but instead, the exact opposite, is doing more to re-ignite the old divisions, prejudices, and grievances, than anyone could have imagined.
Elections have consequences. The legacy that Obama leaves for men that fit his general profile, and for black men in general, is just a small part of the overall damage that will need to be undone in the years to come.
That's an excellent historical parallel to what the Democrats are going through right now.
Their captain isn't just arrogant and incompetent, he's insane. They know that he'll take them down with him, unless they depose or neutralize him, somehow.
Adolf Hitler got bored with being Chancellor of Germany.
I think he has a bright future in the media lol. Afterall, his first year has been a circus of media events, more interviews than any other President in history. Watch out George Stephanopolous...he could be vying for your job in three.
I believe we just witnessed something very much like that.
Apparently, there isn't enough group courage among the Democrats yet, to publicly oppose Obama. On the other hand, they may have already decided to over-write reality by feigning support for him, while plotting in secret to neutralize him.
Once they've taken him out, they can tell any story they like to put a positive spin on it. It probably won't work, but they'll try, for survival's sake, alone.
After seeing this last 10 days following Massachusetts, I think the men in white coats will need to be on stand by this November when Obama gets the news all the Republican wins. I really think he will completely lose his mind.
