“Will he resign due to ... illness, family,
national dissension ... ???”

That or if he’s really doing a campaign speech then he’s letting his base know that this is another campaign promise accomplished. And will continue to destroy America for another term if given a chance at another term. Doesn’t matter that his machinations has caused Iraq to be unsettled, and Afghanistan is a complete FUBAR. He can now check Iraq off his to do list.

Hmmm, maybe that is why Michelle has seemed so unhappy to be around him. Who knows?

I truly think it is an emotional problem, however. But, you would think...with all that exclusive food he was supposed to be eating, and all the ice cream...Wait...maybe he WAS FASTING during the Islamic holy time. Maybe all the pics of the restaurants, food stands, etc. during their last vacation were just for show.

Actually she just said Obama is doing a terrible job. Gives him a C- grade. Likes how he is inspiring young people, but his spending “terrifies” her.

Disgusting .. typical self-serving O'balloney. Our troops have more than earned, never mind deserve from square one, the CIC's non-stop support and protection, whatever it takes, from ALL enemies, regardless of the weak CIC's ideology .. and I pray the generals WILL NOT permit him to weaken any situation there.

It may come to a fork in the road for them .. God grant them wisdom, courage and His grace.

Save this and pass it on .. it's stark evidence of the TRUTH!

It's from this 8-23-10 article from the Washington Examiner .. Little-known fact: Obama's failed stimulus program cost more than the Iraq war

Right, the LSM continues to cover for him.

Recall that they so wanted to cover the body bags at Dover when GWB was POTUS? Well, what happened now that they can?

“Yes, he said it twice.”

Deliberate message.

His interview with Brian Williams was equally disturbing.

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/38907780/ns/nightly_news

ie:

What I’m focused on is making sure that the decisions we’re making now are going to be be not good for the nightly news. Not good even necessarily for the next election. But are good for the next generation. And I’m very confident that those decisions are the ones that we’ve made.

I believe he knew going into this that his White House efforts were to last four years.

My take:

this was a “Freudian Slip” ( a slip of the tongue, saying what you really meant by accident)...

I think he is more and more feeling threatened in his position with the Beck gathering, lower poll numbers, higher unemployment...so while he wants to be President for at least two terms, he is now becomming uncertain..

The teleprompter is in a strange location because his focus is slightly off-camera.

His handlers must have wanted to avoid the ear-flapping. He is probably reading off of a single screen in front of him.

He used “as long as I am President” in both speeches?
"Any pshrinks in the house? seems to me that is the narcissism speaking ... he's personally keeping the promise and therefore you must keep him around since he's the one who can do it."

That's how I took it ... (although he looked awful; like a true corpse-man) ...

You know Obama did badly when even Bill O’Reilly(otherwise known as Obama suck up) called him “Dead” Obama can’t show any emotion over the war or the soldiers because he doesn’t give a damn about our troops, so he can’t even fake emotion.

Not surprising. Recall that Obama's mentor and ghost author once tried to murder dozens of soldiers and their dates at a dance with a massive pipe bomb filled with roofing nails as shrapnel.

“however long I remain President of the United States “

Options:

1. President for life
2. He Resigns/is ill/disappears like the last Abbasid caliph (legend has it he went to the basement and never came back up)
3. The US ceases to exist
4. 0bama is installed as Leader of the World
5. Poor choice of words
6. ??
