Should Obama quit after one term?
Washington Examiner ^ | 11/13/10 | Byron York

Would Barack Obama be a stronger president if he announced today that he will not run for re-election in 2012? Democratic strategists Pat Caddell and Doug Schoen say the answer is yes.

"If the president goes down the reelection road, we are guaranteed two years of political gridlock at a time when we can ill afford it," Caddell and Schoen write in Sunday's Washington Post. "But by explicitly saying he will be a one-term president, Obama can deliver on his central campaign promise of 2008, draining the poison from our culture of polarization and ending the resentment and division that have eroded our national identity and common purpose."

Assumes he would do what he said he would do. The man’s a liar. Did he not say he would cap his campaign spending by accepting federal money? He’s been neutered whether he says he will quit or not.

Gridlock is usually good and particularly desirable in the present context.

He’s never cared about “the good of the country”

It’s always been his ego and the manipulations of him by others That’s not going to change.

Should Obama run again? YES! So he can be removed by the DNC for a more qualified(?) candidate or suffer the humilliation of a national defeat at the polls.

Think it through. If he runs and the Dems replace him at the convention they will loose their black support.

If they keep him on the ticket they will keep their black support but loose the election big time!

Personally I think the Dems will privately talk him into not running so as to avoid the humiliation of a defeat at the convention or the polls.

Who says george soros is not about to pull the plug on him, ESPECIALLY after the debacle in Asia?

The Obaminator has been a woefully inadequate representation of the interests of EITHER the US or george soros anywhere in the world.

If you wonder where all the stirring for Herself, the “Cold and Joyless”, has been coming from, most of it is from within the various soros front organizations around the world. Herself is the bright and rising star, as much more competence (for achieving the soros objectives) has been recently displayed.

The Obaminator could screw up a one-car funeral.

Should one try and get rid of an STD when they first find out? Or wait until one is pissing puss?

Right now our country is having painfull bladder releases.

I’d suggest cutting his losses and quitting on the plane ride back.
