On Hannity today, former Clinton advisor turned Conservative pundit Dick Morris said that after speaking with a Democratic strategist he feels that President Obama may just pull a Lyndon Johnson and leave the 2012 Presidential race to leave the door open for a future run at the White House.
It's not so far fetched, but I personally think Obama's arrogance and pride will stop him from doing this. LBJ was certainly a narcissist, but he's not even in the same league as Obama. Further, 'Landslide Lyndon' had several other reasons to drop out of the race that King Barry I doesn't:

The DNC and the DSCC would be delighted if he just vanished.
Gonna be hard for Obie to do an about face and step aside now. He’s already cranked his re-election campaign into gear, and his minions are hard at work on his behalf.
What would he say to all of those $35,000 a plate donors in San Fransicko?
BS. With the Primaries coming up in January...there’s no way he can jump out now. They are going to try and run against a “do nothing” congress as their only hope—and they are going full throttle in that direction. Too bad for them that leads to a cliff.
Its too late for her or anyone else to disassociate themselves from him. The election is 13 months away. Every time she opens her mouth all someone has to say is "failed policies of Obama ADMINISTRATION" and keep on repeating, ad nauseum. Use the leftist tactics against them.
She failed to break away from Zero when she would have had a chance to distance herself from his policies. To do so now, she'd appear as a mere opportunist. Of course, to leftists that would not matter. To liberals, if Zero dropped out, ANYBODY who ran as a DEMOCRAT would be OK. Even if Vladimir Putin ran with Kim Jong Il as his VP.
No way he could face moochele after making her go to a Target store for a photo-op. He will run and, sadly, obama may win.
His sick ego and narcissism will not give us that blessing. Sadly, there is much more damage he can do to America and will try to do. His hatred for this country, its values and strength, its accomplishments, will not allow a hate-filled ideologue like him to just walk away.
That way they can run someone they will advertise as blameless for the disaster dim policies hv created or made worse. We can only pray the independents hv wised up in the meantime.
Dick is as usual talking nonsense.
He should go back slamming Palin.
Then again, if 2012 is simply awash for the Dems, they may feel it’s not worth a sacrificial lamb.
0bama won’t run.
Caution! Remember, Dick Morris is wrong 99.998 % of the time.
Though I doubt his pride would ever allow himself to do such a thing.
The only way he quits is if he gets a suggestion that he might be facing a serious probability of Arkancide!
Thank you
Press that pantsuit Hillary – you’re up!
Seriously, how do narcissist handle failure? Do they fight on regardless of the odds and the pain it causes their inner soul, just so they can leave some sort of legacy? Or do they shrink from the humiliation, choosing not to go through it, salvaging any small ounce of dignity they can?

Hitler and 0bama have many things in common. One thing is certain: most narcissists in positions of great power have bad endings.
“Seriously, how do narcissist handle failure?”
Perhaps like Al Gore is doing? Would he be considered a narcissist? I find his behavior unbelievable. He just won’t. let. it. die.
...it may come down to he leaves with billions, no investigations into where the money went, Soros home free and the media able to say he just didn’t have enough time to complete utopia.
The DNC rebuilds with blame blame blame,it’s all Republicans fault....”now they can fix what they screwed up”...Dumbo just needed more time..so sad.
Everyone knows Dick Morris just says crazy stuff once in a while...
Let’s hope he gets out of office somehow.

Let’s rock.
I hope I’m wrong but I think Hillary could trounce him in the resulting primaries and could beat any of our candidates in the general election. Again, hope I’m wrong about the last part particularly.
I don’t discount it.
If Obama could be forced out by the DNC, it would allow the Democrats to claim a fresh start with someone supposedly more “centrist” - Hillary Clinton?
I just think Obama will throw Joe under the bus. He needs help to win a bigger state because Delaware & 3 votes don’t cut it. How about Nelson of Nebraska? :) He got 1 electoral vote there last time.
Dick Morris is an idiot. I wish he would just go away.
This from Dick “everytime I open my mouth and predict, I’m wwrong” Morris
They handle it because they blame everyone else; never accepting responsibility for anything.
I have known quite a few.
“Very possible”, but not very likely.
Obama needs four more years to finish off America.
Morris is a gas bag.
Dick apparently doesn’t realize we’re dealing with a serious pathology here, and not the ordinary political ego. Dick can be very entertaining, but Edgar Cayce he aint.
The One would never stop aside. His disciples would never allow it. It would be like muslims asking Allah to step aside.
Thanks, chumps.
Obama could well be call to some high office at the UN or some such world position. Then he can tell people that he is leaving for something bigger, duty calls.
If you do any study of sociopaths, you will find the only thing that matters to a sociopath is WINNING.
They have no emotion.
They have no shame because they have no conscience.
They cannot be "cured" because they see nothing wrong with themselves being the center of the universe.
They lie about everything. They can look anyone in the eye and tell the worst, bald-faced lies imaginable.
They NEVER concede their own culpability for anything done wrong.
They are, in fact, pathetic, subhuman creatures whose every whim is the only thing that matters.
Obama can run for re-election, be trounced, and blame everyone on Earth but himself. He can do that and still sleep like a baby without the slightest guilt for any atrocity he has committed.
He can destroy America and not blink because AMERICA IS OBAMA'S TO DESTROY.
We are all extras in HIS movie.
Can anyone remember the last time the toe-sucker was RIGHT about one of his predictions?
I can’t...
Hence the Target trials...
“Target” as in the supermarket FLOTUS recently visited...
Wimp Obummer chews gum during the Joint Chief of Staff Chairman Transitionn Ceremonies.-c-span
Winp = a weak, cowardly, or ineffectual person [Merriam-Webster]
Plugs Biden has publicly stated that the Obama Administration owns the economy's problem.
It wasn't Hitlers vision that failed Germany, but Germany failed Hitlers vision.
Likewise Obama.
Narcissism is a different personality disorder from being a sociopath.
They do share lack of empathy as a common trait, however.
“What would he say to all of those $35,000 a plate donors in San Fransicko?”
he would probably say, whitey had it coming.
His theorems are correct, but he always get the final Conclusion or Statement wrong.
I think it is deliberate to be just interesting enough to be invited back on these shows and be a payed analyst.
Dick is all about cash flow IMHO, and he has figured out a clever way to do it with this trick...
Yet another of Dick Morris’ really bad predictions.
Morris on the 2010 Race:
Morris: “I believe when independent voters hear the message we are going to send them, we are going to win new 100 Republican seats.”
Morris: GOP House pick-ups “could go as high as 100.”
Morris: Republicans will “definitely win nine seats in the Senate.” Morris had previously predicted GOP could pick up 13 Senate seats.
Morris declared Gillibrand - who went on to win by 26 points - “still beatable.”
Morris: Colorado is “another takeaway” for Republicans
Morris predicted Angle would win NV Senate race.
Morris: “Rossi and Murray are dead even tied, which I think it means Rossi is going to win.”
Morris: “Don’t count out Linda McMahon.”
Morris: “Christine O’Donnell may yet pull out a win.”
Morris: Hoyer and Frank “might be within reach.’
Morris: “Evidence indicates” that Dingell is “in jeopardy.
Morris: Mike Yost “can and will win if he gets funding.
Morris: Rankin “is en route to beating Mike Ross” in Arkansas
