President Obama said Sunday that he deserves a second term despite suggesting in a similar interview three years ago that if he didnt turn around the economy in three years, his presidency was going to be a one-term proposition.
Weve made progress, Obama told NBCs Matt Lauer. The key right now is to just make sure we dont start turning in a new direction that could throw that progress off."
That new direction to which the president obliquely referred likely involves voters choosing someone else such as Mitt Romney to run the country.
Obama has made a Super Bowl pregame interview an annual tradition. Last year, he sat down with Fox News Bill OReilly. Lauer, the co-host of NBCs Today show also interviewed Obama three years ago, shortly after he was sworn into office.
I've got four years," the new president told Lauer then. "A year from now I think people are going to see that we're starting to make some progress, but there's going to be some pain out there. If I don't have this done in three years, than this is going to be a one-term proposition."

I could not bear to watch him before the game. I would have probably kicked my TV. Hearing that he ‘thinks he deserves a second term’ seems really rich to me given the terrible results that are shown from the job he has been doing. He deserves a lot of things, but re-election is probably not one of them. Changing the course of this ship cannot come soon enough.
........and if Mittens is the GOP Nom, Obama will get that second term in a devasting landslide. And I would prefer that to happen....(maybe then the RINOs will wake-up)....

There is less than a year until the election, an election that will decide the next President of the United States..
The person elected will be the president of all Americans, not just the Democrats or the Republicans.
To show our solidarity as Americans, let’s all get together and show each other our support for the candidate of our choice.
It’s time that we come together, Democrats, Independents, and Republicans alike. If you support the policies and character of the Republican party, please drive with your headlights on during the day.
If you support Obama, please drive with your headlights off at night.
Free campaign plug for dumbo just before the SB courtesy of the state run media.
This is a scary statement, and one that I've heard a good handful of times, in a few different forms, over the past few months.
Dunno if it's just my paranoia talking, but talk like this makes me want to go buy more ammo.
What is this “Deserve”?
One does not “Deserve” anything.
One WORKS for it.
Except SALVATION, of Course.
Although of us deserve that either. LOL.
The Preamble to the Obamatution of Devided States of Obamaland.
I the Obama of the Devided States (of Obamaland..that’s me heehee), in Order to Devide the Union, establish no Justice no Peace, insure domestic Unrest, reduce the common defence thereby making us vulnerable, provide Welfare for everyone irregardless of citizenship , and secure the Blessings of Socialism and a ‘everyone for themselves’ mentality, do ordain and establish this Obamatitution for the Divided States of Obamaland.
I now pronounce Myself King. I may now kiss myself.
Oh, so now it’s all the “Founding Fathers’” Fault!
Nice of the Lyin’ King to cut President Bush a little slack.
We must organize all our efforts to REMOVE oboma from the White House. We The People are the boots on the ground. We must win THIS war.
Father of the entitlement society....truly the food-stamp president. Leader of the “I deserve” OWS...
Progressive Democrats don’t think so either

I have no attention of voting for Romney, but any of the 4 Republican candidates is better then that arrogant lazy, lying pos occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave, and that is a fact.
Exactly right. All the Republican candidates are better than Obama.
An absurdity but....Ras. has him leading all Pubs. The Pubs are killing this election with all their hate ads toward..each other. The public needs to see them explain why Bama DOES NOT DESERVE another term . Polls come and go but this is sad that voters think he deserves another term too...so far. Apparently they have mass amnesia to his horrid policies. From Care to scandals, to from regs to Keystone, to foreign policy failures with the Arab Spring, Dems have murdered not only USA domestically but internationally. It does seem that the lemming voters outnumber right now than voters who have the facts and stats on their side. Sad for our liberties and free enterprise.
He does deserve a second term...a consecutive life sentence in Levinworth...two counts.
There has been NO narcissist like him. He takes the prize. After three years of absolute chaos, depression, gloom and doom, kickbacks, payoffs, extended posh vacations at taxpayer expense, endless golf games, constant campaigning, and he wants four more years? He deserves prision time for what he has done. No, he deserves a firing squad!
And Judge Malihi in GA... Thanks for NOTHING. You heard all the evidence that completely establishes we have a usurper in the white house and you did a Pontius Pilate and washed your hands of it. Sadly, the nation will not survive four more years of this fake president and you had in your power to stop the bleeding. You are a disgrace!
i’m w/ u
I couldn’t believe this BS popped up right before the Superbowl. And with Pee Wee Lauer no less kissing his butt.
Does Newt get a Superbowl infomercial like this? No. Does Santorum? No.
Mitt was probably offered one being that he’s a leftist but they went with Noobama instead.
“I deserve a 2nd term”
Yeah, and the Pats want a do over.
