Obama: My family would be fine with just 1 term

WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama says his wife and daughters aren't "invested" in him being president and would have been fine had he decided against running for re-election. But he says they believe in what he's doing for the country. Asked about his family's reaction to his wanting another term, Obama said: "Michelle and the kids are wonderful in that if I said, `You know, guys, I want to do something different,' They'd be fine. They're not invested in daddy being president or my husband being president." He says first lady Michelle Obama would be the first one to encourage him to do something "a little less stressful" if she no longer thought that what they were doing was worthwhile for the country. Obama's interview aired Tuesday on NBC's "Today" show.

POTUS Obama is toast. He will not get re-elected. In fact, he would be wise not to run in 2012!!! And....yes, he belongs in prison for “treason” on many counts!!!!

His heart is no longer ‘in it.’ It is time to go. Anything else would be a complete disaster. Not like we’re not nearly there as it is, but if he no longer has the passion for country...then he is done. He can’t lead. He wasn’t a leader to begin with, but this kind of attitude on display is a failure.

So several questions become, if the man knows he has failed and has no heart left to put into the endeavor, does he have the integrity to step aside?

If the democrat party realizes the stone hung around their own necks called 0bama, will they force him aside?

Don’t let the door hit your skinny ass on the way out and don’t steal the silverware like the clintons did. Aside from that - don’t go away mad - actually scratch that - as long as you go away I frankly don’t care if you go away mad or not.

I'm sure Michelle would have no beef with it.

This guy just confirmed he is clueless...... he is an off centered ideologue with little idea of how to lead the vast majority whom do not share his beliefs.

He was a media moment that took a spot in a hysterical vacuum created by the mantra of hate Bush... We now suffer from “wrong guy” at the “right time” to get elected.

Superficial pop culture not rational real deep thinking allowed this tragedy to happen. The mess will be cleaned up come 2012. Hold onto your wallets, properties, guns and rights until then....

Maybe, with these comments, BO is trying to lessen the shock if he announces that he will be stepping aside. Like...oh, I talked it over with my family and it is okay with them if I decide to go back to an easy job and become a community organizer again. His heart was never in being a leader of all the people. He only wanted adoration, praise, and the perks.

would not surprise me if he is building himself a backdoor, if he thought he’d lose, he use michelle and the kids as an excuse to run away, he’s run away from everything before, only now he’d get all themoney and wouldnt have to work for it. He’d pull a last minute moonlight flit, i could see that.

Maybe he needs to get out for a little golf, or a vacation in Europe, or a vacation in South America, or some lavish dinners, or some free celebrity entertainment, or some basketball, or a vacation to Asia, or a vacation in Hawaii, or a vacation in Martha's vineyard, or some sports prognostication, or a vacation in Camp David, or a vacation in Chicago, or some basketball, or some talks with Oprah, or a vacation in Florida, or a .......

Of course they are fine with it. They are set for life now.
A generous pension and Secret Service to coddle them for the rest of their time on earth, on taxpayer expense.
And if he needs extra cash, he can always take the teleprompters on tour anytime.

Obama is already bringing his family (wife, daughters) into the 2012 election? This man has no class.

Aaaarrrggghhh!

Umm ... Sorry about that. Your comment triggered a Jimmy Carter flashback.

What an arrogant a-hole!....Does the boy-King see the hand writing on the wall?....He’s going to be sliced and diced in any debate. Watch him resign before the election. That would be awesome! Then we could laugh at pea brain Joe for a few months.
