Couldn’t it be said that a president in their first term is more or less always campaigning for reelection?

Paul,
Perhaps he should concentrate more on leading and less on running for re-election. I’m sure those in LA would appreciate that.

Did you say the same thing about W every time he visited a state? Should Obama only be in DC or LA and nowhere else at all times?

It’s ALWAYS ABOUT HIM!!!!!! EXCEPT, of course, when it comes to taking responsibility for something that has gone wrong, then it’s always about someone else!!

Here’s a thought, instead of ‘never letting a good crisis go to waste,’ maybe he should try CRISIS MANAGEMENT!!! That is what leaders do, they manage a crisis, they don’t EXPLOIT a crisis, like obama does over, and over, and over, and over!

INCOMPETENT, INCOMPETENT, INCOMPETENT!!! Well, maybe not, if the intent is to turn the USA into a third world country, then he would be competent, competent, competent.

IMPEACH OBAMA!!!!

Construction workers upset with Obama visit, they lost pay for the day while Obama talked about jobs. Obama seems to be in a tailspin. Reminds me of President Carter as the country slips into a malaise.

“Reminds me of President Carter as the country slips into a malaise.”

You vividly remember this, as in lived through it as an adult?

I really have been getting more than my fair share of daily chuckles from this board. Honestly. What was the purpose of this article? How many times have you, columnists on this board, speculated that every public appearance by Palin is because she is running in 2012.

PS: I saw an Impeach Obama bumper sticker the other day; I had never seen one of those. Maybe they’ll go viral or something. :-)

TfT, the point was to TRY to make Fox news look bad. It didn’t succeed.

“PS: I saw an Impeach Obama bumper sticker the other day;”

Is that any less laughable than those who put “Impeach Bush” bumper stickers on their car?

On a similar note, my parents live in the liberal bastion of Seattle. When Obama was first elected, there was a Pro-BO sticker on most cars and now my dad says you don’t hardly see them anymore. Me thinks the bloom is off the rose!

Oh my gosh where did the stickers go! NO!!!!!!!!

Obama needs the inner-city youth vote and they seem to have lost interest based on recent elections. He needs to spend more time in Cleveland.

As an ex-Ohioan, I can definitely tell you that Ohio is a swing state.

That being said, I always thought the idea of having a President serve one 6 year term was a good idea. That way, once the candidate was elected, they never had to worry about re-election. The President could actually get down to the business of “running the country” without having to worry about their own re-election.

If the President was popular; he/she could help with other election campaigns and if they weren’t popular, they could always provide a contrast for both parties. Either way, the one time Presidential term puts the onus on the legislative branch to do some work.

I bet by the end of this year alone either the koolaid drinkers will wake up and realize the mistake they made by electing in a community organizer or Obama will be crying on TV asking why dont you worship me anymore. JayZ and Lindsey Lohan loves me….

I’ll take that bet.

As if they have credibility to begin with.

As if YOU do.

6 years of Obama is 6 years to many…
