At this point in time, I would prefer that Obama quietly and lamely serve out his term and simply announce he will run for re-election.
The following four words comprise my argument for this approach: Presidential incumbent Joseph Biden.
[Of course, I think the REAL probability of Obama NOT running for re-election in 20112 are about the same as the probablity that our sun will burn out in 2012]
...simply announce that he will not run for reelection.
That’s what the Republicans want too. Keep him in office...let him run...
The nice thing about Biden serving, would be that the Demcrats would be as petrified as us. As it is, they still think Obama is brilliant. They wouldn’t be able to pull that off with Biden.
I don’t think he’s leaving either. I just want him to know how many people see him for who he truly is.
