President Obama's hometown newspaper has some startling advice for the commander-in-chief -- quit while you're behind.
Citing the president's record-low approval ratings and unease in the Democratic base, a Chicago Tribune editorial writer recommended over the weekend that Obama need not feel obligated to run for a second term.
Steve Chapman said that with Obama facing the prospect of a double-dip recession and, if he wins reelection, a gridlocked second term, it might be better to call it a presidency and let someone else -- maybe Hillary Clinton -- carry the Democratic mantle in the 2012 election.

Obama is such a narcissist that he would not even consider dropping out.

Steve Chapman editorial ... “The vultures are starting to circle. Former White House spokesman Bill Burton said that unless Obama can rally the Democratic base, which is disillusioned with him, “it’s going to be impossible for the president to win.” Democratic consultant James Carville had one word of advice for Obama: Panic.”

Hillary is also a Chicago politician.
To: SvenMagnussen
"...let someone else -- maybe Hillary Clinton -- carry the Democratic mantle in the 2012 election." I seriously don't see her picking up that mantle for several reasons, but the very fact that her name keeps coming up as the inevitable alternative to Obama, just shows you what a paucity of real leadership exists on the left.
The Dems are doomed. Doomed, I tell ya.

Free Fallin’ Ping!
It is customary to run for a second term, and the Lyin’ King is such a Malignant Narcissist that he can’t imagine NOT winning again.
The Democrats thought they were very clever in nominating him, and now they are stuck with him, even though it probably means the death of their party.
To: DUMBGRUNT
They are stuck. Cannot win without the black vote. No Zero and the blacks will stay home. That's a fact, and the only person who can convince blacks to vote for someone else is the Narcissist in Chief himself. Can you really picture him campaigning for Hillary - or any other lesser being?
Not likely.
