Obama sure is behaving like someone who only wants one term. He may have hoped for two [or more] at first, but the job is so boring for him that he`s decided that since Gore and Carter are the two most beloved libs around, he can suicide-bomb the nation in 4 and then get back to the links where he clearly would rather be. As with Al and Jimmy, being loathed by the majority is no biggie for a campus cult figure, but a badge of honor. In this case, the whale lovers will eventually get over it, considering how he did so much to kill capitalism.
The theory advanced by others that his real objective is Secretary-General of the UN is gaining traction with me.
