Obama: My family is 'fine' with one term

By: Jennifer Epstein June 14, 2011 08:51 AM EDT

As his reelection campaign ramps up, President Barack Obama says his family is “not invested” in a second term in the White House.

“Michelle and the kids are wonderful in that if I said, `You know, guys, I want to do something different,’ they’d be fine,” Obama said in an interview with NBC News that aired Tuesday morning on “Today.” “They’re not invested in daddy being president or my husband being president.”

“If family is doing well and Michelle is still putting up with me, then I’ve got enough energy to keep doing the work that I’m doing,” he said.

But Obama says there are some days “where I say that one term is enough,” but added that he’s motivated to win a second term because of “a belief that the work that we started in 2009 is not yet complete.”

And, if the first lady thought it was time for him to go, he’d listen.

“I think Michelle – if she didn’t think that what we were doing was worthwhile in moving the country forward, I think she’d be the first to say, ‘Why don’t you do something else that’s a little less stressful?’”

I think most families that aren’t getting a gubmint check would be happy with just one Obongo term.

Right!

This f*&^%#g, gaping rectum thought he’d be President of the United States of America until he decided what ELSE he’d like to do.

Yeah, right - the moose would give up her glory position while she can still milk the taxpayers? But I’m guessing zero doesn’t like the indignity of being challenged or having to explain an actual record.

I’m not fine with just one term - it’s one term too many.

Since he leaves all the presidential stuff to President Jarrett, what's with this talk of ‘stress’? The truth is that Barry loves the perks and his ego would never accept the thought of being another Carter and booted out of the WH.

I’d be happy if he had four consecutive life terms...in the most northern Alaskan prison.

If that’s what you want, then I will be more than happy to oblige you, Mr. Obama. Pathetic loser.

Many are over looking what I've said awhile ago...

My bet is still on that the democrat candidate for president in 2012 will not be an incumbent.

Only question is, how to they (the DNC) pull it off without their fingerprints?

Exactly. But he’ll couch it in terms that “he wants to spend more time with his family”. Then he can stay in Hawaii and golf all he wants. They’ve made they’re millions, they’ve gottent their piece of the pie. Very few crumbs left over for the dumbed down electorate that got them there. And I don’t see anyone on that side of the aisle that can run next year...or in 2016.

I’m OK with him doing four years in the White House....Then I’d like to see him with 10 to 20 in the Big House.

If Palin runs; he won’t. He doesn’t want to face the same humiliation in a debate with her that he suffered at the hands of Benjamin Netanyahu.

“They’re not invested in daddy being president or my husband being president.”

He’s got a husband?
