Obama 2016? (What if 2012 Isn’t Obama’s Last Campaign?)

I’ve considered myself that - if defeated in 2012 - Obama would still be eligible to run again in 2016. Particularly since there are so few ‘rats who seem “up and coming” to fill the shoes of a presidential candidate. Andrew Cuomo, perhaps, but Hillary will be “out of the picture” by then.

However, once out of office, Obama will be for intents and purposes out of “power” as well. I sense that once he has been returned to private citizenship, there’s a good chance that a lot of “unseen pieces of his puzzle” begin to emerge. By 2016 enough of the hidden truths may be revealed about him that he will become persona non grata to the democrats….

But, he wouldn’t be the first president that hoofed it back to the Senate after leaving the presidency.

Actually, I don't think any president, out of office, has gone to the Senate. John Quincy Adams went to the House of Representatives where he fought tooth and nail for 10 years to exclude Texas from the Union permanently.

Obama will qualify as Secy General of the UN. After all..he is from a corrupt third world country and has communist background.

Rim shot....we have a winner!

Concurring bump. No more calls, no more calls please! We have our winner.

As someone else pointed out, the Democrats have a weak bench. They’ll have to manufacture a new “rising star” in the party.

Ed Rendell, disgusting Schultzoid party hack from Philly and former governor of Pennsylvania, is out and about making noise -- looks like he sees things pretty much the way you do, and he's making his opening moves now.

He regards himself as dictator for life and he is getting the military ready to keep him in power.

Well, "Red Danny" Ortega is the only Communist I can think of who left power voluntarily after a political reverse, before 1989 and the disintegration of the Soviet Bloc.

And Obama and his cadres are Communists of some description. Are they tough enough to call that play? Intellectually, yes. Personally? That's the $64 Billion Question.

If Obama loses, he will be the Jimmy Carter of our time, ‘respected’ by the media, and hated by the people as a failure.

Let him run in 2016. he will be a big loser.

The guy to watch out for is Andrew Coumo.
Pro gay marriage an balanced New York state’s budget.
Dems will want him, unless Hillary insists on being the nominee.
