President Obama: “I deserve a second term”

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.

I think Barry deserves two more terms. In Leavenworth.

I think Obama would be happier back in Chicago doling what he does best, roaming the bathouses and looking for man love.

I completely agree with Mr. Obama. I think 20 years at hard labor in Gitmo would be appropriate, served among the most devout of the Muslim terrorists there. [It's about 100% certain Barry would not see the completion of his sentence. He'd receive an abrupt termination of his existence to end the sentence.]

The voters will say that he does. He has not lost any of his base,meaning, the young,the "educators",those depending on the fruits of other's labor to support them, self hating White Liberals, and fools.

On the other hand, there is a core of Conservatives who will not vote for obama lite, a/k/a Romney under any circumstances and while the Mc Cain trick of picking a Conservative running mate may work on a few, most will see through it.

My plan would involve OUTSOURCING his incarceration to another country. Turkey, Bulgaria, Pakistan come to mind.

WHO is the glue in the 'West Wing'.

Plouffe and Jarrett sound like they're right in the innermost circle ..... but stuff I've read makes it sound like Moochelle is right there, too.

That said, I think Obozo's got a secret politburo under wraps (oh, sure, he'll call it a "kitchen cabinet" or "brain trust" if it comes out -- use some old American chestnut to make it sound better), but I think some number of his "czars" plus the three mentioned already are the real Government.

His Obamacare bill looked like it appeared out of thin air -- but that stuff had to have been gestated as policy for years on the 'Rat side. What we got from both the White House and the Congress was a dumbshow, a fake legislative process for appearances only.

The real bill was written back in 2007 and 2008, cooked like a Julia Child rump roast for two years, and ready to go when Obozo was inaugurated.

We will never know who wrote that f****** bill!

But no doubt about it, it was a creature of the Prog Wing (Stalinist wing) of the 'Rat Conspiracy.

Your numbers don't, I think, reflect any treatment of the massive massage job they're getting from official USG sources like DoL and Commerce Dept.
