Why Obama won't seek 2nd term
WND ^ | June 18, 2011 | Joseph Farah

Posted on 06/18/2011 2:28:03 AM PDT by RobinMasters

I know this sounds crazy.

I know it goes completely against the grain of mainstream political opinion.

I know you probably haven't heard this anywhere else before.

But I don't think Barack Obama will be on the Democratic ballot as a candidate for re-election to the presidency.

And I know he's not going to win a second term.

Just look at the way he is already second-guessing his announcement to run again.

In an interview that aired on the "Today" show earlier this week, he said this: "There are days where I say that one term is enough."

Aside from the typically lousy syntax – "days where" – why would a sitting president who has already announced his determination to seek re-election be musing about not running?

I think he is reconsidering.

I think he knows he has no chance to win because of what he has done to the economy.

I think deep down in his heart he knows he has no record on which to run again.

Think about it. What are his accomplishments? Obamacare? Two-thirds of Americans want it repealed.

The dems got rid of Wiener. They might do the same with Obama if they reveal some dirt that can force Obama to resign within weeks.

I hope Breitbart keeps checking his email.

"There are days where I say that one term is enough."

Singular uncanny insight for this arrogant mental lightweight, since a majority of American voters are convinced that one Obama term was more than enough.

What happens to the billion dollars he raises for the campaign?

This article is nuts. Carter ran and his record was more dismal than this guy’s.

The only way he doesn’t run is if someone like SArah Palin runs against him. He can beat Romney and the others.

Hillary would need to bump-off both Obama and Biden at the same time as close to the election as possible. Then blame the Right for their deaths and jump in campaigning as the savior of America

Anyone consider the possibility that Huma “married” Weiner for the purpose of getting Hitlery selected POTUS? And that when he balked, he was taken down to let everyone know there are some offers you just don’t refuse?

It took Wiener three weeks to announce his resignation after berating the press, lying to everyone and continuous coverup.

Liberals DO NOT RESIGN easily.

Besides, if Obama resigns and leaves another Dem with this economy, they will still lose.

The only way the Dems hold the White House is through a sympathy vote (assassination, death, disease, etc)

This article misses the fact that these interlopers love the power of the WH. They love the free meals, limos, travel, golf....Why would he not run? And do what?

This man bristles at anyone who questions him, and it will get worse.

I don’t think we have a clue of what it’s been like to be in meetings with this guy.

I am sure that in time insiders will reveal how totally unprepared he was. You can con his base, but I am sure the CEOs he meets with leave shaking their heads.

Netanyahu was the first to basically show us the real man. A petty, two bit, gangster phony.

Also, he has contempt for the Republicans running against him. CAn you picture Palin running against him. She’s already mocked him. “Hey, Mr. President, show some cajones.” “Hey, Mr. President, here’s another WTF moment for you.” etc.

Not true, Joe (the drunk) Biden would have little chance against Hill and Bill.
And they do not have to add Obamy to their list of dead, they just have to tie him to some 16 year old boy.
Be honest, would anyone really be surprised by something like that?

Absolutely, postively NUTS!
Will never happen for an overwhelming multitude of reasons.

"There are days where I say that one term is enough."

Its nutz to think he's a one-termer based, among other things, on what he says. When does he ever tell the truth? In fact, him saying he's a one termer is evidence he is not.

But, beyond that, everything points to him being more than a 1 termer - the far left sees themselves closer than ever to their "promised land" of total control. Remember the "transformation" thing? I think they will pull all the stops for 11/2012: Look at all the lawlessness of this regime (LA contempt of court on oil drilling, continuing to implement zer0care against court order, panthers, etc); all indications that voting fraud will be rampant.

Any talk of 1 terming is another alinsky-like tactic of getting your opponents to become complacent. So, quite the contrary: They will be going for the whole enchilada this time - and then, who'll need elections after that?

I think Palin showed he had no guts by the way she went after him (and just think if McCrap didn’t hold her back)

Obama is an I person.
Everything is about him.
He would never voluntarily step aside.
Way too big an ego.
He may be forced aside by the Democrats if they fear a catastrophic loss in the making.

1: Obambie is a narcissistic child
2: I doubt that Soros and whatever other puppet masters would let him go.

Weiner was not taken down. Did someone hold a gun to his head to send his crotch shot publicly? This was not a conspiracy, it was stupidity.

The only way he leaves voluntarily after one term is if he’s offered a “better” job. Think U.N. Secretary General or some other such international nonsense where he can pretend the new post is higher up the ladder.
