"I'd rather be a really good one-term president than"...

Obama would rather be a really good one-term president, than a mediocre two-term president.

 

What do you all thing of that statement?

I, personally, think that if he made a "really good" president in his first term - he would be re-elected for the second by popular vote.

I also think that he simply wants to advance the agenda of 'the powers that be' (that put him in power in the first place) at whatever cost, either to us (the wee people) or to his personal chances of being fairly re-elected for a second term.

Obama is simply a puppet.

(?I guess that is why he can not seem to speak with any fluency without the strings of the teleprompter :D :P )

Ever read 1984, how the gov't would tell the people one thing that was the complete opposite of what they were doing and the people still accepted it?

I think it was called Newspeak.  But then 1984 was over 25 years ago and we have had that for at least that long.  Except the call it Political Correctness.

Gee, I thought I was a racist Nazi who wanted sick people to crawl in holes and die if I disagreed with him.  I must have been sleeping when that wind of change blew through.

We had a former president who was openly contemptuous of dissent and had his party back him to the hilt and now we have one who is politely contemptuous of dissent and has his party back him to the hilt.

It's deja vu again.  Vote C'thulu in 2012--at least you know what you are getting and it will be delivered unapologetically and without mercy.  Maybe he will eat some of our long-serving politicos while he's in.
