This morning, John Fund was on WMAL-AM, the talk radio powerhouse in Washington D.C. He mentioned that nobody in Democratic circles is defending Obama anymore. Buyer’s remorse is everywhere. Essentially, only those actually working for the Administration or Democratic Party, trapped inside the Alamo, are defending the fort now. Anyone can guess when they might start turning the guns on each other, perhaps starting from Foggy Bottom. Fund thought there is a chance that a “committee” of senior Democrats might go to Obama in a few months and tell him it might be best not to run for reelection. Who knows. At least the disappointment would be bi-partisan if that happened, with White House loyalists and the GOP both upset Obama wouldn’t be on the ballot in November.
Then Andrew Breitbart over at the Bigs has the same observation as Fund:
I predict a tectonic shift among American Jews and within the Democratic Party if Obama doesn’t quietly retire. All the spinning in the world can’t spin away the trend of Scott Brown, the Tea Party victory of November 2010, and now the Turner earthquake.
Many Democrats are awakening to the reality that their party has been hijacked by a radicalism completely unfamiliar to their parents’ and grandparents’ Democratic Party.
An internal, partisan civil war is now brewing in that party. What I think tonight is less important than what Joe Lieberman, Bill Clinton, Evan Bayh, and the rest of the former, and now defunct, reasonable wing of the Democratic Party is thinking tonight.
Granted, it’s early, and one bad night in Brooklyn does not an LBJ make. But there is no mistaking the sense of failure creeping over this Presidency after so much Hope.
If Obama gets primaried, there will be a civil war within the Democratic Party. If Obama does an LBJ, the Blacks will just stay home. If Obama runs, the Dems can look forward to another Jimmy Carter fiasco. The only thing the Democrats running for office can do, is try to distance themselves from Obama as much as possible.
They will loudly and hatefully blame republicans and conservatives for his massive failures, but they will also lay a LOT of blame at the feet of 'mainstream' democrats for 'forcing' Obama to 'abandon his principles' and 'move to the center'.
They may criticize him for 'capitulating' but they will never completely abandon him.
…you still have to put up with him for three years and ten months!
One must never negate the three month 'Lame duck' period of Executive orders, pardons and such.
And inside is an Oklahoma City Moment.
There.........Fixed it!
I’m not going to argue against that, but participation here already puts us on a number of lists I’m sure.
And here’s the next step. The Democrats nominate someone “who is considered a “centrist,” someone with background and experience, someone like... Hillary Clinton. That person steamrolls the Republicans, promising centrist reforms and tweaking Obamanomics and Obamacare, and when they get to office, they start cementing their power. Obama gets to go on a speaking tour and write (ghostwritten) books.
God help us.”
You are right. Hang in there Mr. President. Keep it up. Tell the Tea Pary to go to hell. Tell Israel to go to hell. /s
Republicans had best hope and/or pray nothing happens that might render Obama unable to compete in 2012.
Not that anything of the sort is in his mind, but Michelle would never let him do it.

The nice thing about Biden serving, would be that the Demcrats would be as petrified as us. As it is, they still think Obama is brilliant. They wouldn’t be able to pull that off with Biden.
I don’t think he’s leaving either. I just want him to know how many people see him for who he truly is.
Then again, maybe that’d be part of her election strategy.
Okay. Okay. I’ll VOTE for you for president! Just, PLEASE, for the love of God, PUT SOME CLOTHES ON!
Frighteningly possible.
WH Press Laugh At Carney’s Defense Of Obama

Huh?
;-)
Hell no. We want him right where he is, the banner-carrier for the whole Dem Party.
Either that or starting WW3. That's about the only thing that can save him now.
A new version of Peter Priciple, when lies and deception have no effect because the originator of such falsehoods has none left to use.
Imagine the sense of panic in someone who has lied, cheated, bribed, and extorted to get everywhere in life, and has no material left.
It's like an intervention by default.
Or maybe his real one. From Kenya. Or Canada.
If obamma quits, then Michelle will not get her taxpayer funded private jet multi-million dollar vacations.
