President Obama: I Want Second Term 'Badly'

By DEVIN DWYER (@devindwyer) LAS VEGAS, Nev., Jan. 26, 2012

President Barack Obama today signaled an aggressive tact for his early re-election campaign, critiquing his Republican opponents by name and insisting he's ready to "fight with every fiber of my being" for a second term.

"How much do you want it?" ABC News' Diane Sawyer asked Obama during an exclusive interview in Las Vegas.

"Badly," the president said, "because I think the country needs it."

"Whoever wins the Republican primary is going to be a standard bearer for a vision of the country that I don't think reflects who we are," Obama said.

"I'm going to fight as hard as I can with every fiber of my being to make sure that we continue on a path that I think will restore the American dream," he said.

Obama pushed back against what he called Republicans' "rhetorical flourishes," including Newt Gingrich's oft-repeated contention that Obama is the "food stamp president."

"First of all, I don't put people on food stamps," Obama said. "People become eligible for food stamps. Second of all, the initial expansion of food-stamp eligibility happened under my Republican predecessor, not under me. No. 3, when you have a disastrous economic crash that results in 8 million people losing their jobs, more people are going to need more support from government."

Of course he does. That’s four more years of not having to feed the Mooch on his own dime.

That reminds me of the lady who confided in her girlfriend, “He told me he wanted to make love to me in the worst way...and then he did”.

Hasn’t the damage he’s caused been enough for him? Or does he want four more years to finish this nation off?

Not to mention that Mexican liquor store cash register (gun running/laundering).

The Obozo longs for the day to say it was he who drove the stake through America's heart. That, I surmise, is what he means when says he needs four more years to finish what he started.

The fact that President Obama said it makes me doubt it.

Are we still assuming that the Zer0 isn’t going to whip up some crisis and cancel the election? (Assuming the nominee isn’t Mittens - in which case he’ll probably just offer him Veep).

“”Whoever wins the Republican primary is going to be a standard bearer for a vision of the country that I don’t think reflects who we are””

NOT WHO WE ARE - who you want and intend for us to be, you clown.

He really does think he’s God’s gift to humanity, doesn’t he? Too bad we’re not all fooled... Good for the country that we’re not.

“”Gee, this is the guy who said previously he didn’t care if he was a one term president. He always lies.””

Good memory... He keeps most of us so stirred up, we can’t even remember our own name....

I can see why he’d say that — his first term went badly. Thanks Sub-Driver.

“”finally open their eyes after O’s second term would make me happier and probably in the long run do more to kill modern liberalism.””

That’s how I felt voting in CA when Gray Davis ran for governor. “”The voters in CA will learn something valuable if they him in that office.”” Look how well that turned out...Sure he was turned out but who replaced him and who’s the governor now? Same old, Same old!! They will NEVER, NEVER DISAPPEAR with their socialistic ideas.
