He does not care. I don’t believe he ever wanted to run twice. I think health care will be his legacy which today will make him look awful but in 50 years who knows. There is no way that a guy would act like he is and not be thinking about running twice. If he really wanted to run again, he would have waited to pass health care until his second term. Plus he is doing the President Clinton mistake tackling don’t ask, don’t tell. If he was going to run for a second term, he would have made the first two years of his term passing bills that just keeps the government running. He is making it clear that he is not running again. Why should he? He gets 400K a year retirement whether he is President 4 years or 8 years.
The only reason he isn’t running again is because even before trying to foist universal healthcare on us is that he knows he won’t win if he does. One year gone and he’s done so much damage. He knows that he won’t get in a second time. He’s an international laughingstock and he knows it; he enjoyed near worship when he was campaigning, but when he got into office, he was expected to live up to history. He has failed and he knows it now. Unless he’s impeached he won’t stop until the country is so damaged that it will take centuries for America to get back on her feet.
I know we have enough problems already, but Obama is now on the rampage. It’s all spite now. It might pass, but it’s nothing that won’t be a good lesson to those idiots who think that everything comes without a price.
