I’ve been thinking for months that it’s him that wants to be a one-termer....he’s reached his pinnacle and satisfied his ego; besides the job’s a bit over his head and he probably sorta realizes that.

I have always believed that, too.

The job of POTUS is beneath him. And it is actually a “job”, which he has never had prior to now. I think he is finding out that it kinda sucks.

He ran, won, made history - time to move on. He can go be Sec. General of the UN, be “citizen of the world”, soak in global adoration, not have to work.

I'm not so confident that his mental processes will let him see that he's incompetent. Besides, he and the family are really enjoying the perks of office. I don't see him leaving willingly.

Obama using the gulf crisis to restart cap n' tax convinced me he could care less about getting re-elected. Thats gonna blow the teetering economy sky high & guarantee Obama the top spot as most hated man in America.

Actually I'm kinda envious of the left - its obvious that deconstructing the left's power structure in Washington will be a suicide mission but I can't think of a potential candidate on our side who'd be willing to take the leap.

I was speculating with another FReeper on this awhile ago.

One term may have been his plan all along. Figure that he gets the boot in 2012, dumps Michelle in 2013, gets $20 million per volume of the endless anthology "My Life as the First Black President", and hits the lecture circuit to do what he does best - getting paid 50K a pop to read a teleprompter to adoring sycophants.

The "job" is incidental to him.

His objective is to fundamentally transform the U.S. into a Fascist/Marxist state, with so many dependent on the state teet that it would be impossible through "democratic" process to reverse it.

Who are those who want what others earn taken away and given to them than those who promise to do just that?

If he can stick it to those who believe in personal liberty and limited government enough to accomplish that in one term, so much the better.

The "job" of the presidency is just pomp and circumstance to such a committed, evil ideologue.

Barry is doing the job that he was picked by his creators to do. This has been many years in the making.He's right on target.What appears as failure to us is great success to his puppeteers.
