Obama in Super Bowl interview: 'I deserve a second term'(No you don't!!!)
L A Times ^ | February 5, 2012 | James Oliphant

Posted on 02/06/2012 7:00:06 AM PST by Kaslin

President Obama said Sunday that he deserves a second term despite suggesting in a similar interview three years ago that if he didn’t turn around the economy in three years, his presidency was going to be a “one-term proposition.’

“We’ve made progress,” Obama told NBC’s Matt Lauer. “The key right now is to just make sure we don’t 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 O’Reilly. Lauer, the co-host of NBC’s “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."

Make sure we don’t start turning in a new direction that could throw that progress off. Three trillion in debt and eleven percent unemployment is progress only to a socialist idiot.

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.

Subj: Public Service Announcement

Public Service Announcement

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.

Well, it turns out our Founders designed a system that makes it more difficult to bring about change than I would like sometimes.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.
