Obama says election assessment of his leadership

WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Barack Obama said Wednesday that he'll be re-elected for a second term if voters feel like he's been on their side, working as hard as he can and getting things done.

"If they don't," the president said, "then I'll lose."

The blunt political assessment from Obama cast next year's presidential contest as a referendum on his leadership rather than a choice between him and whoever his GOP opponent will be.

"That's not to say that the other candidate is irrelevant," Obama said, "but it does mean that I'm probably going to win or lose depending on their assessment of my stewardship."

The president made his comments in an interview with KMBC-TV in Kansas City, Mo. He was responding to a question about who in the Republican field could beat him, but Obama declined to speculate, saying he was too occupied to be spending a lot of time worrying about the GOP hopefuls.

The guy has an ego bigger than that of Mao, Ho, Stalin, Khruschev, Castro, Hugo Chavez and Achmedgenocide put together.

They are going to have to create a new word in the dictionary for “Super Narcissist” and put Obie’s picture with it.

I guess his favorite movie is “The World is not Enough”, his theme song for the masses is “Money for nothing and MTV”.

When looking in the mirror he sings, “I’m too sexy for myself”.

And for America, re a second term, “You Ain’t Seen Nothing Yet”.

November 2012 will determine whether America will survive or whether the Marxist-In-Chief will be able to say, “Yes We Did” (destroy capitalism).

America, DON’T LET IT HAPPEN!

Why is it that democrats need to clutch their d*cks all the time? Are they afraid it will fall off?

2012 cannot come soon enough. The Recovery will begin the minute the polls say that Zero will lose.

Narcissism and arrogance on stilts. It's always about Obama. However, in this specific instance he is actually pretty close to the truth. The 2012 election will be about his 'leadership'. The 'leadership that has been an economic disaster for America. 'Leadership' that has alienated our allies (Great Britain), abandoned our friends (Israel) and attempted to portray America to the world - a world mostly ruled by dictators and corrupt politicians - as a rogue nation that has to apologize for existing. Obama's 'leadership' ignores the fact that America is the freest, most prosperous and generous nation on earth. The only entity standing between order and chaos. Barack Hussein Obama apparently can't see that yet he expects to be given another four years in office to continue to destroy what took generations to build? I think not. The only place Obama is 'leading' America is to our destruction.

TOTUS and the TOTUS double are not close enough to the fool for him to read the “Stand up straight and put your hand over your heart dummy”.

"but it does mean that I'm probably going to win or lose depending on their assessment of my stewardship."

He's right on that point. American voters are judging him and their verdict will be evident on election night.

I think that the phrase is "Malignant Narcissist". He is America's cancer.

Really? This again?

That’s not from the Ft. Hood Memorial.
It’s during the playing of “hail to the chief”, meaning he is being saluted.
It has nothing to do with any flag.
This was exposed as a hoax last YEAR. It’s embarrassing that anyone still falls for it.

Check out article, and then # 3 for a disgraceful photo of the usurper.

Thanks, MestaMachine.

Bye-bye Arschloch. Take your clubs and hie on back home,
maybe you can do some more damage to Chicago.

My apologies to anyone who was pinged to Post#3. I have been advised it is a hoax. Received from a trusted source who obviously didn’t know and neither did I.
Again, I apologize.
