President Obama: I Want Second Term 'Badly'

By DEVIN DWYER (@devindwyer) LAS VEGAS, Nev., Jan. 26, 2012

President Barack Obama today signaled an aggressive tact for his early re-election campaign, critiquing his Republican opponents by name and insisting he's ready to "fight with every fiber of my being" for a second term.

"How much do you want it?" ABC News' Diane Sawyer asked Obama during an exclusive interview in Las Vegas.

"Badly," the president said, "because I think the country needs it."

"Whoever wins the Republican primary is going to be a standard bearer for a vision of the country that I don't think reflects who we are," Obama said.

"I'm going to fight as hard as I can with every fiber of my being to make sure that we continue on a path that I think will restore the American dream," he said.

Obama pushed back against what he called Republicans' "rhetorical flourishes," including Newt Gingrich's oft-repeated contention that Obama is the "food stamp president."

"First of all, I don't put people on food stamps," Obama said. "People become eligible for food stamps. Second of all, the initial expansion of food-stamp eligibility happened under my Republican predecessor, not under me. No. 3, when you have a disastrous economic crash that results in 8 million people losing their jobs, more people are going to need more support from government."

IF he loses......this man and his handlers/owners in the shadows are going to scare me to death between November 6, 2012 and Innauguration Day................

my son was on the Texas A & M National Championship Drill team and they had a saying when one of the guys was lagging...............it was “you gotta grab some sack man!”..............hopefully our military leaders will too during that lame duck period.............

I also remember having in drilled into my head back in 1967 when I joined the USNR that my duty WAS NOT to obey ALL orders it was instead to obey ALL LAWFUL orders..........!

“Sorry ‘Bammy, your first term was badly......”

Glad that I’ve trained myself to scan the thread
before posting because I was thinking along the same
line and I hate to step on another’s good work.
Its’ like when you say something funny in a group
and another repeats it, stealing your thunder.
Just hate that.

Correct. If the GOP was interested in winning Newt would still be on a cruise, Romney getting his hair did, and winner would be heralded by the party. Instead, the front running buffoons spend more time in the gutter, than on a coherent plan, and the Left and the MSM just laugh at us. I’m disgusted by the lot of them. Now I’ll I sit back and wait for the Newtrons to attack, but I don’t care, I’m sick of settling for a**holes..

Linda Burnett, 23, a resident of San Diego, was visiting her in-laws and while there went to a nearby supermarket to pick up some groceries. Later, her husband noticed her sitting in her car in the driveway with the windows rolled up and with her eyes closed, with both hands behind the back of her head. He became concerned and walked over to the car. He noticed that Linda’s eyes were now open and she looked very strange. He asked her if she was okay, and Linda replied that she had been shot in the back of the head and had been holding her brains in for over an hour.

The husband called the paramedics, who broke into the car because the doors were locked and Linda refused to remove her hands from her head.
When they finally got in, they found that Linda had a wad of bread dough on the back of her head. A Pillsbury biscuit canister had exploded from the heat, making a loud noise that sounded like a gunshot, and the wad of dough hit her in the back of her head. When she reached back to find out what it was, she felt the dough and thought it was her brains. She initially passed out, but quickly recovered.

Linda is blonde, a Democrat, and voted for Obama, but that could all be a coincidence.

The defective biscuit canister was analyzed, and it was determined to be George Bush’s fault.

Transcript: Diane Sawyer Interviews Obama Jan 2010
You know, I -- I would say that when I -- the one thing I'm clear about is that I'd rather be a really good one-term president than a mediocre two-term president. And I -- and I believe that.

That would make an appropriate greeting card to obozo.....

A picture on the front of the card showing obozo sitting on his throne after a “win”, and the inside of the card showing a photo of Ceausescu and his wife, as they are marched out to stand in front of a stone wall, and the rest you know.

Evil is as evil does.

I am, my husband - chemical engineer is, my daughter - hydrogeologist is, my mother is, my father was, my father in law was - petrochemical engineer US Armmy vet WWII, my sister - masters degree -is = = We are all Blondes. I am SO SICK of people saying that hair color has ANYTHING to do with intelligence!! That is just as bad as being Racist!!!!! My daughter is a scientist in the field of hydrogeology - i am sure you don’t know what that word means, look it up. She is a platinum blonde - natural, born that way, 29 years old. She is gorgeous and hates being a gorgeous blonde because of all the ugly comments about being blonde. A waitress was making fun of her one time because of her beautiful hair color - my daughter wanted to say - but is much too polite and mannerly to do so - she wanted to tell the rude waitress “I made a B in Differential Equations” I told her don’t bother, the waitress wouldn’t have a Clue what that means.

He’s a narcissist. I’d expect no less. Narcissists can’t deal with rejection.
