President Obama: “I deserve a second term” By Erik Wasson - 02/05/12 04:57 PM ET
President Obama in a pre-Super Bowl interview aired on Sunday said that despite being unable to completely turn the economy around in three years, he still deserves to be re-elected.
“I deserve a second term but we're not done,” Obama told NBC's Matt Lauer in an interview broadcast from the White House.
Lauer noted that in a pre-Super Bowl interview three years ago, Obama had said "If I don’t have this done in three years, then there’s going to be a one-term proposition.” Obama said that three years ago the economy was losing 750,000 jobs a month and the latest unemployment data from Friday shows. “Now we are creating 250,000,” he said.
Obama said that more needs to be done to boost manufacturing and improve worker skills.
“The key right now is just making sure we aren't turning in a new direction that could throw that progress off,” he said.
In the NBC interview, Obama reiterated that at this stage military options are not off the table in dealing with Iran's possible quest for a nuclear weapon.
Obama said that diplomacy is preferred because of the risks of military action.
“Obviously any additional military activity in the Gulf is disruptive and has a big effect on us,” he said, noting “it could have a big effect on oil prices.”
Obama said that he doesn't think Israel has decided whether it would attack Iran, but indicated his belief the U.S. would not be blind-sided.
“We have closer military and intelligence consultations than we ever had,” he said.
Obama deserves to be thrown out of office and then required to get down on his hands and knees and beg for forgiveness.
Sounds like my kids when they were, like, five....
Obama deserves a second term?
Like FDR did?
Face it, the only reason Roosevelt was re-elected was because there were no viable Republicans, those who could make the case for repeal of the New Deal, running against him. Alf Landon in 1936 was only of importance because he was the only Republican governor in the entire US of A in 1936, who had been re-elected in 1934, therefore conferring what little of “national” standing existed for the Republican party anywhere.
But Alf Landon, alas, was a “Progressive” Republican, and as such, found little he could not agree with in the New Deal, therefore, he could not draw a distinction between himself and FDR. In fact, the best he could come up with was “Me, too”, a catchphrase that was to dog the Republicans for years.
In 1940, when FDR SHOULD have retired in grace and style from the Presidency, he chose to run again, this time against yet another “Progressive” Republican, Wendell Wilkie, the “barefoot boy from Wall Street”. But there were dark storm clouds on the horizon in 1940, and some sort of sentiment “we shouldn’t swap horses in midstream”, as though FDR was absolutely the only man in America who could have kept us out of the war that was coming.
In 1944, FDR was determined to run for a FOURTH term as president, and the argument of “not changing horses” seemed to be stronger than it was the first time. That time his opponent was a former prosecuting attorney from New York, who had gained the office of Governor of New York, Thomas E. Dewey. Much like Rudy Giuliani, Dewey had a reputation for tough law enforcement, doing his share to keep Sing Sing prison full to its limits. FDR KNEW he was dying, and in a final fit of pique, he selected a machine politician from Missouri, Harry S Truman, as his running mate and probable successor in office. FDR kept Harry just about completely in the dark about all his war plans, and a good deal of the inner workings of much of the civil side of his administration. When Harry had the office thrust upon him, he did not even know about the Manhattan Project, and the rush to develop an atomic weapon, ostensibly to be used against the Nazis. But the war in Europe ended before the system could be deployed. At the same time, the war in the Pacific was fast approaching a stalemate, with the very real probability that it would take years to subdue the Imperial Army of Japan. Using a very old principle of warcraft, the Japanese nation was struck with a weapon so powerful, so stupendous in its scope, that a true sense of shock and awe succeeded in humbling His Imperial Majesty Hirohito to such a degree, he accepted the terms of unconditional surrender presented to him by General McArthur.
The question is, would we have even BEEN in that war if FDR had not insisted on remaining in office after 1940? There was a huge isolationist sentiment in the US in 1940, which FDR plied much to his advantage, and which he almost immediately spurned after getting re-elected.
Three years ago, a freshly-inaugurated President Obama said of his plan to fix the financial crisis that “if I don’t have this done in three years, then there’s going to be a one-term proposition.”
Gonna hold him to that one.
Heh, how many times will we hear him whine that this year?
Word to obama:
You deserve approximately jack sh!t, let alone the correct time of day. Pack it up, and be out of the WH on 1-21-2013, or we’ll have the secret service kick you to the curb.
Obama, you deserve a swift kick in the ass. You can take your socialism and shove it. Go run Kenya you damn bastard child SOB.
DumBO deserves a hut back in Kenya.
0bama deserves a swift kick in his red MARXIST A** right into a jail for treason and his ilk should be taken with him.
It is beneath contempt to campaign during a Super Bowl courtesy appearance.
Job Corps students are taught construction skills. Not plumbing, HVAC or electrical, but labor and concrete finishing. Their inner-city public school skills don’t include math. This means we train inner-city black kids for jobs which won’t exist for at least two years. So much for training.
....I put a bumper sticker on my car the day after he was elected that said:
...Don't blame me, I voted for McCain..
..and now, I believe most people agree with me that Zer0 is in fact a zero....and that he does not deserve another term or one more ride in AF1, or any more golf games at our expense....and MOOCHelle can buy her own tacky attire...
So NBC gave this jackball a free campaign commercial before the biggest tv event of the year? Damn what a surprise. Did they grant the same time to any of the Republicans?
Wonder what the ratings were for that interview? Hopefully, it will be his last pre-superbowl interview.
Clearly; the white golf shirt is as empty as is the 'starched' white; that Obama (so like Malcolm X) favors.
WHO is the glue in the 'West Wing'.
OBEYOBAMA. ..coming to a ‘t-shirt’ soon.
0bummer: “I deserve a second term”
Obama deserves nothing less than a ahort ride down a long rope.
Oh, he richly deserves a lot of things, and a second term is not one of them. Even another week in the WH isn’t one of them!
Rather “in your face” to see it on that graphic.
Epic fail!
As he should, that is a stellar record if I ever saw one....
Looks like a bang-up record for a third world country which he is working on here. I’m going to censor what else I’d like to say.
The author of that table should add a row for the USA’s credit rating.
Best way to get answers would be to pull an Allen West on him, watch the guy piss his panties and tell the truth. In truth and not my first sentence if the media, we the people, judges and more get into asking hard questions( and axking tooo0 then this guy will keep lying and playing America and Americans as fioools dismantling three times weekly for 4.5 more years if we allow this.
Thanks for the Ping. If I typed what I really believe “Obama” deserves, I’d be banned. From the internet.
I think Barry deserves two more terms. In Leavenworth.
I think Obama would be happier back in Chicago doling what he does best, roaming the bathouses and looking for man love.
Nov 2012 - LET THE BIG BROOM SWEEP his lying a$$ out.
Why does your tag line indicate you want to make a pet out of IT and add more drain to tax payers to care for IT

And the Republican Party is going to do everything in their power to bring it about.
On the other hand, there is a core of Conservatives who will not vote for obama lite, a/k/a Romney under any circumstances and while the Mc Cain trick of picking a Conservative running mate may work on a few, most will see through it.
What a Petulant, Pusillanimous little Puke.

My plan would involve OUTSOURCING his incarceration to another country. Turkey, Bulgaria, Pakistan come to mind.
Nice chart! Thanks for the ping.
Is there a chart that displays similar ratios (precentages) for Romney???
I mean his enablers need to have the info to comparison shop here...
It’s only fair...I mean, haven’t we all been told its Romney’s turn???
Plouffe and Jarrett sound like they're right in the innermost circle ..... but stuff I've read makes it sound like Moochelle is right there, too.
That said, I think Obozo's got a secret politburo under wraps (oh, sure, he'll call it a "kitchen cabinet" or "brain trust" if it comes out -- use some old American chestnut to make it sound better), but I think some number of his "czars" plus the three mentioned already are the real Government.
His Obamacare bill looked like it appeared out of thin air -- but that stuff had to have been gestated as policy for years on the 'Rat side. What we got from both the White House and the Congress was a dumbshow, a fake legislative process for appearances only.
The real bill was written back in 2007 and 2008, cooked like a Julia Child rump roast for two years, and ready to go when Obozo was inaugurated.
We will never know who wrote that f****** bill!
But no doubt about it, it was a creature of the Prog Wing (Stalinist wing) of the 'Rat Conspiracy.
