Obama fears 'nightmare' if Romney wins
United Press International ^ | August 20, 2012

President Obama fears a "nightmare scenario" in which Republicans control the national agenda, an e-book published Monday says.

The book, "Obama's Last Stand," also charges that Obama considers challenger Mitt Romney "too weak" to be president, USA Today reported.

Author Glenn Thrush describes Obama as describing his GOP opponent as "too weak to stand up to his own money men, too weak to defend his own moderate record as the man who signed into law the first health insurance mandate as Massachusetts governor in 2006, too weak to admit Obama had done a single thing right as president."

Thrush wrote that presidential aides told him Obama fears a "nightmare scenario in which Romney beat him, Republicans won both house [of Congress] and two liberal Supreme Court justices quickly departed the bench."

Aides said Obama has a "great uneasiness" that Romney will win and take credit for the president's successes, including an anticipated economic recovery in the next four years, Thrush reported.

"I'm not going to let him win ... so that he can take all the credit when economy turns around," Obama told his aides in a meeting, the book said.

The book is part of a series of e-books on the campaign from the staff at Politico, the USA Today report said.

"Obama is afraid that he's going to the slammer for his numerous crimes. He SHOULD be worried."

Like most Chicago politicians sooner or later....

The Kenyan accuses Romney of which he is most guilty. Projection is a fatal mental defect.

Freeperdom wonders why Boehner never stands to fight the great battles that must be won to save our republic.

Answer: Because the pitiful panty waists on display at this forum run for cover in the lesser battles, i.e. Akin.

An accusation is often a subconscious confession.

I wonder what it could be.

Business may be poised to take off but will not as long as Obama is in office. Business has no confidence in Obama and fears Obama’s anti-business bias. Uncertainties will always cloud the future with Obama at the tiller.

Pot.. Meet Kettle...

I don’t know what Zero is worried about. Romney won’t have much if any control over Kenya.

I agree with one point. Whomever wins, the economy will turn around next Presidential term; inspite of Obama or because of Romney.

And the last for years haven’t been a nightmare? I think I’ll take my chances with R&R.
