“I agree he’s probably not going to run, but the question I have is “WHY” isn’t he going to run.”
I think a combination of reasons. The biggest one being BHO’s character. This is a rather shallow person in my view. A person who likes the trappings of running for and being President. He doesn’t like the work part of it, though. He wants the adoring crowds, the vacations, and likes it when his agenda is winning. He’s not liking it so much when he has to actually do something or his agenda is being scorned. And now that the adoring crowds are as likely to be booing as cheering, this just isn’t as much fun for him. He’s set for life, he knows it, so why deal with the aggravation of the office and the likelihood of being thrown out in 2012?
A second reason is I think political. While I could never prove it, I speculate that there is an arrangement in play here. I think it’s widely but quietly acknowledged within the Democratic party that BHO won’t win re-election. So who would have the best chance of winning against the likely GOP candidate, Sarah Palin? Then you have to acknowledge that the Clintons are extremely ambitious and still have a lot of power in the Democratic party. There is a very credible threat of their running anyway.
So why haven’t the Clintons sought to distance themselves from BHO? Why are they acting in what appears to be a very supportive manner? To me this just stinks of an arrangement.
Finally, there is something to be said for strategic retreat. BHO has moved the socialist agenda farther than any President since FDR. And I think he recognizes that. They’re looking to defend those gains.
The GOP establishment has in the past has been pretty much OK with creeping socialism, so long as it gets it’s share of the goodies. The conservative backlash endangers those gains not only due to the threat of Democrats losing outright in the elections, but the longer term threat of the GOP establishment being unable to go along with it as they have in the past. One thing the Democrats and the GOP can agree on is that the tea partiers endanger their positions of privilege. And BHO is the number one irritant driving the conservative backlash.
He had something bigger in mind. He was going to be a “MARTYR” and sacrifice himself for the cause.
For over 40 years the 1960’s radical left has had a dream of orchestrating a race war as a way of achieving absolute power. Weather Underground crap. Starting that race war was Zippos job.
Hillary's dirty tricks campaign to get into the WH in 04 was derailed in August of 02 when Charles Baron let it be known they were planning on orchestration race riots.
Hillary then had a dirty trick of letting the horses ass run and she was going to replace him at the last minute.
This scam got derailed in part one again by Charles Baron letting it be known race riots were in the works.
Hillary kicked of another dirty tricks campaign in November of 2006 with the phony bologna firing of the US Attorneys investigation. Bush was covering something up. But what.
It was Sharon Eubankes (sp?) with CREW that let the cat out of the bag this time. Shortly before the Easter break she made the comment that she had heard there were problems in the CIVIL RIGHTS DIVISION. Leaky Leahy jumped. Were the USA’s fired to cover up civil rights violations. RACISM.
While the dems in congress were busy stirring the racial pot, Al Sharpton was also busy stirring the racial pot with the Jenna 6 and the phony “NOOSE” campaign. He also stirred the racial pot by going after Don Imus. Racism Racism Racism.
Glen Beck made a fool out of himself by joining up with Sharpton in a campaign to get rid of rap better known as “BLACK MUSIC”. You can't get kids to march in the streets for any reason, take away their music and they will be marching in the streets.
Once again a Clinton is running for prez and race riots are in the works. Everything came apart when the VT shooting bumped everything out of the news for a week. After that the campaign to take away the music went nowhere. The Jenna 6 and phony noose campaign went nowhere. The firing of the USA’s went nowhere.
Lets review
1992 LA race riots Bill Clinton gets elected
1996 Phony Black Churches being burned campaign and
Clinton's friends the Chinese get caught shipping full
auto weapons to the gangs in LA sounds like they had
one hell of a race riot planned
2004 Race riots were being planned
2008 Race riots were in the works
Can you imagine the race riots that would have occurred if it have been proved Zippo was ineligible to be prez? It wouldn't have simply race riots, it would have been a race war. The radical left 40 year wet dream come true.
Bush would have had to declare Martial Law and Hillary would have been launched into the WH with basically dictatorial power.
Zippo would have been a Martyr with more power than the prez unless Hillary got rid of him.
