President Obama: “I deserve a second term” By Erik Wasson - 02/05/12 04:57 PM ET

President Obama in a pre-Super Bowl interview aired on Sunday said that despite being unable to completely turn the economy around in three years, he still deserves to be re-elected.

“I deserve a second term but we're not done,” Obama told NBC's Matt Lauer in an interview broadcast from the White House.

Lauer noted that in a pre-Super Bowl interview three years ago, Obama had said "If I don’t have this done in three years, then there’s going to be a one-term proposition.” Obama said that three years ago the economy was losing 750,000 jobs a month and the latest unemployment data from Friday shows. “Now we are creating 250,000,” he said.

Obama said that more needs to be done to boost manufacturing and improve worker skills.

“The key right now is just making sure we aren't turning in a new direction that could throw that progress off,” he said.

In the NBC interview, Obama reiterated that at this stage military options are not off the table in dealing with Iran's possible quest for a nuclear weapon.

Obama said that diplomacy is preferred because of the risks of military action.

“Obviously any additional military activity in the Gulf is disruptive and has a big effect on us,” he said, noting “it could have a big effect on oil prices.”

Obama said that he doesn't think Israel has decided whether it would attack Iran, but indicated his belief the U.S. would not be blind-sided.

“We have closer military and intelligence consultations than we ever had,” he said.

It is beneath contempt to campaign during a Super Bowl courtesy appearance.

Barry "Bath-House" OBozo, doesn't deserve it.
But then...he's so delusional.

Job Corps students are taught construction skills. Not plumbing, HVAC or electrical, but labor and concrete finishing. Their inner-city public school skills don’t include math. This means we train inner-city black kids for jobs which won’t exist for at least two years. So much for training.

The next thing that Obama will do is beg....crying with real tears in his eyes on national TV....for "WE the People" to give him another term....

....I put a bumper sticker on my car the day after he was elected that said:

...Don't blame me, I voted for McCain..

..and now, I believe most people agree with me that Zer0 is in fact a zero....and that he does not deserve another term or one more ride in AF1, or any more golf games at our expense....and MOOCHelle can buy her own tacky attire...

So NBC gave this jackball a free campaign commercial before the biggest tv event of the year? Damn what a surprise. Did they grant the same time to any of the Republicans?

Wonder what the ratings were for that interview? Hopefully, it will be his last pre-superbowl interview.

Am still trying to figure out; who does the 'heavy lifting' for Obama. (Soros/Panetta; sure) but 'who' at White House is getting the mail/memos in/out/read; and insuring that 'Briefings' do not fall entirely through the cracks of White House floor?

Clearly; the white golf shirt is as empty as is the 'starched' white; that Obama (so like Malcolm X) favors.

WHO is the glue in the 'West Wing'.

Oh, he richly deserves a lot of things, and a second term is not one of them. Even another week in the WH isn’t one of them!

Rather “in your face” to see it on that graphic.

Epic fail!

Looks like a bang-up record for a third world country which he is working on here. I’m going to censor what else I’d like to say.

The author of that table should add a row for the USA’s credit rating.

Best way to get answers would be to pull an Allen West on him, watch the guy piss his panties and tell the truth. In truth and not my first sentence if the media, we the people, judges and more get into asking hard questions( and axking tooo0 then this guy will keep lying and playing America and Americans as fioools dismantling three times weekly for 4.5 more years if we allow this.

Thanks for the Ping. If I typed what I really believe “Obama” deserves, I’d be banned. From the internet.
