The only thing’s he appears good at is taking vacations, golfing ,and flying all over the world on Air Force One.
people do seem to be saying he doesnt care because he wont run again. i dont agree. his ego is too huge to even contemplate the defeat not running again would mean. he actually thinks his enormous personal talent and huge brain will win the day.
Never underestimate the power of a lying narcissist. ... Wag-the-Dog in 2012 is a definite possibility ...
He thinks that he won’t have to run again. He thinks he will be declared “President for Life” before the end of 2012.
Gee, I was told by all the smartest people that Mr. Skittles was scary smart. I think they got the scary part right - not so much on the smart thingy.
I’m constantly amazed that a leftist rag like the Boston Herald carries Jonah Goldberg’s column.
Talk about an oil and water combination!!!
(Jonah usually has some very on-target remarks and observations!! But, the Herald rarely does.)
He is an effete, arrogant academic who subtly insults his constituents every time he opens his mouth. That is the nub of his problem.
I concur. I do not think he will run again. I think he's already decided, and will announce it next year. One assumes that Hillary will step in to lead the Democrats. She has done more to further herself than Biden has.

Similar statements were applied to Bill Clinton, just before and following his 1994 election debacle.
That was, of course, before Newt and the boys screwed the pooch and gave Bill Clinton a big boost toward re-election.
He may get a challenge similar to RFK's challenge to Johnson but it will have to come from the extreme left because they have the most to lose if Obambi starts to govern from the middle to save his presidency.
Hillary! is much to moderate to get any traction against him in a primary fight but even she could give him a couple of broadsides (pun intended) and weaken him for 2012.
“One assumes that Hillary will step in to lead the Democrats.”
That is one heck of a scary thought
Correction to prior post.
0bama IS the shark and swims with a whole pack of ‘em.
Dolphin schools fight off sharks.
Conservatives are bunching up in schools.
Even little fish make big formations of fish. See pix of Monterey Bay aquarium fish. http://dthorp.smugmug.com/photos/507044563_anMUS-L.jpg
(Note: this isn’t a formation in the form of a fish, but it does happen. It’s AMAZING.
But the economy turned around for Clinton thanks to the dot com revolution and technology bubble. That's not going to happen for Obama. The only thing that could save 0 is the economy improving dramatically and with his policies that's not going to happen.
Effete and arrogant, to be sure.
But, say what you will about academics, that charge doesn't stick. One need not agree with them, but at least they have the talent for being able to write and speak coherently and at length, and to marshal their arguments convincingly.
One cannot say the same about Obama. He is most certainly not an academic.
