| There’s no doubt President Obama’s liberal supporters are worried by his lackluster performance in the Denver debate. “Everyone is in shock,” one show-business liberal told the Hollywood reporter. “No one can understand what happened.” The Obama faithful are offering the White House advice, talking points, pep talks — anything to improve the president’s performance when he next faces Mitt Romney at Hofstra University on October 16. But for some liberal writers, the concern goes deeper. Perhaps Obama’s somewhat withdrawn demeanor at the debate was an indication that he doesn’t even want a second term as president.

Comments: Obama has said so a number of times. It's time to hold him accountable for his pledge that if things didn't get better after three years that it's a one-term proposition.

There is another word for this-LAZY". Obama can't finish anything he starts; has an attention span of a flea, is always looking for an angle where he can get away with doing nothing except dismantling. He is not intelligent. What we saw at the debate is the sum and substance of his knowledge acquired over 4 years.

He obviously prefers his previous fantasy life where he was lavishly praised for spewing empty rhetoric and never held accountable for delivering on his ridiculous promises.
In other words he never had a real job before and he doesn't like it.

Let's equate Obama to a Lottery winner. He has won the big bucks and will continue to get paid well for the rest of his miserable life without lifting a finger. He and Michelle can live the life that they have become accustomed to without have to work for it. He may criticize the greedy rich guys, but now that he is one, his complaints don't sound as genuine. He can play golf every day instead of every other day. He is hooked on OPM. He really doesn't care.

Why do you think he has been out giving speeches ever since he became the Occupier? He goes out, gives a speech that someone else wrote, and he's done for the day so he can go play golf, or shoot hoops, or hang with his buds. Governing? That requires work which is why he has signed so many EO's. Monica Crowley said yesterday that she doesn't feel like he likes being prez. He likes the perk but not the work. If he has another bad debate performance, I think more people are going to conclude that as well.

When a lazy man has a wealth and a handsome pension for life, and a free mansion in Hawaii nest to a golf course, why would he want four more years of toil? And as a narcissist, why would he want two more humiliating public thrashings at the hands of Romney. Watch for a medical issue to pop up.

0bama is not a fighter. That's why he's always out there telling others to take the fight to us.
Now instead of being a community organizer (agitator) he's a national agitator.
An empty chair is a compliment. To quote ABC: He's "pink slime", only this time they'd be correct. He just sits there and oozes. Makes everything yucky, nasty and appalling.

A measure of a person's heart (in addition to the people they choose to surround them) is how they spend what time is at their discretion. In addition to the frustration that York details, that mansion in Hawaii is calling to him like a Siren song. All that sun. All that golf. So few Republicans. It worked for Ferdinand Marcos - it might be working for NerØbama. We may have stumbled upon a way to deal with dictators, and dictators in waiting.

I think Romney had a great chance just being the anti-Obama,now there's some real affection for him which should help with turnout. Theleft thinks everybody hates rich people when it's really their own base who would vote for Obama anyway. There's no hint at all Romney piled up his wealth doing anything shady,unlike the guy who helped Obama get his house in Chicago.
Remember Bill Clinton couldn't buy his house because he had no credit history so Terry McCallife had to put the money up. Now Clinton has an international slush fund he can raise at will because he still doesn't have a real job.

I doubt he wants a second term, but there's too many of his corrupt Dem pals with too much of a stake in the game for him to quit. I'm sure he dreams of moving on to some global organization, where he can step out of his Hawaii mansion from time to time and spout off about the need for a global poverty tax. (Remember the Global Poverty Act, the only bill BO initiated when he was Senator?) MOoch probably wants him out, so she can go on permanent vacation.

Reportedly some liberals are not taking any chances with Obama being homeless next January, and are in the process of purchasing a $35 million mansion for him on the beach in Hawaii.
If Obama happens to get re-elected you can bet that he will be spending a lot of time in that mansion and on Hawaii golf courses no matter what course the country is on.

It killed Elvis. Maybe Obama is familiar with the problem. Retiring to Penny's free Hawaii estate keeps him going.

There may be yet another shiny bauble that Zero would want to grasp, which would elevate him past we, the hapless rubes he's been forced to tolerate these past four years.
While I believe the UN Charter may specifically forbid an American to be Secretary General of the UN, a supernumiary position may be crafted for him. More darkly, I could suggest that he reveals himself as Indonesian or Kenyan after all, and then he gets the big enchilada!

Quite possible. But let's consider the following and then entertain other possible factors.
FTA: And his entire career suggests that by now he should be angling for a bigger, better job. The problem is, there isn’t such a position — and a second term in the same old job doesn’t count.
a. For Obama, showing up has always been [and been accepted by others as] "accomplishment"; with actual work-product subtracted from the picture, moving "up" is about all that's left to "do". b. No more "up" means, in a different sense from the original quote, "there's no 'there' there." So, boredom in a certain sense is a natural human psychological response/reaction.
But human complexity offers room for another possibility coexisting with the others already discussed. That is, subconsciously I suggest, in whole or in greatest part, Obama has an uneasy, unbidden sense that he indeed is wholly unsuited and unqualified for the office.
Like a very, very s-l-l-o-o-o-w-w motion Looney Toons cartoon, there's no longer anything under Wile O. Bama. The soles of his feet have started to sense that. And so the rest of him is sensing there might be -- something? Where? What? Is there, really?
Can't hear the wind whistling past that falling anvil yet, but -- he senses that there's a sound going to reach him. Maybe. From -- where?

Not a chance in the world that the grifter-in-chief and Michelle Antoinette do not want another 4 years of luxurious living at our expense.
Do not confuse "unable to be the president" with "unwilling to be the president." They want it so bad they can taste it, but his incompetence is standing in the way--big time!
Worst excuse for a president and commander-in-chief in our nation's history.

All his speech writers took notes so they will come up with good quotes against Romney at the next debate now that they know what to say.
Bambi will come back with a bangaroo of a speech. Count on it! Meanwhile all Romney's writers will lie back and chuckle and believe that they will win again.
Bambi can out-lie Romney [and that is quite an acheivement in itself][ ask Romney's primary opponents] so get ready to become doumbfoundedly mad, mad, and angry!

President Obama has built a reputation for going around the traditional White House press corps in favor of so-called soft media, taking his message to “The View”, ESPN and friendly local radio, among other general-entertainment outlets. Who can forget these hard-hitting questions Obama was asked by a New Mexico radio station last August: “What’s your favorite song to work out to?” “If you had a superpower, what would it be?” But senior Obama adviser Dan Pfeiffer scoffed at the suggestion that the White House is deliberately avoiding tough questions.

During the Great Depression, some 1.3 million Americans—epitomized by the Joad family in John Steinbeck´s "The Grapes of Wrath"—flocked to California from the heartland. To keep out the so-called Okies, the state enacted a law barring indigent migrants (the law was later declared unconstitutional). Los Angeles even set up a border patrol on the city limits. Soon the state may need to build a fence to keep latter-day Joads from leaving. Over the past two decades, a net 3.4 million people have moved out of California for other states.

But last night LaBeouf, 26, posted e-mail exchanges on Twitter revealing divisions between him and bombastic Baldwin.

Wisconsin is known for many things, such as our friendly disposition, impeccable beer and cheeses and, of course, our Green Bay Packers. Since I´ve taken office, we´ve gained national recognition for the proven results of our fiscal and economic reforms. We took a principled stand, confronted our shortcomings and transformed them into real solutions. We´re turning things around and heading in the right direction. Unfortunately, the national outlook isn´t as bright. With growing debt and deficit without a clear solution, the problems we face as a nation are daunting.

It seems so reasonable. In the minds of many, "universal background checks" for firearms transactions sounds like a good idea. But is it really? No. No idea is good if it doesn´t work. No legislation is reasonable if it fails to accomplish its purported goal — to prevent violent criminals and the mentally ill from acquiring firearms. Criminals won´t participate in a "universal" system. They´ll always steal or get their guns, and everything else they want, on the black market. Reasonable people know that criminals will never be part of the "universe."

CHARLOTTE — Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal stands out among the Republican Party’s up-and-comers. As president of the Republican Governors Association and a frequent speaker for the GOP, he’s one of a new generation of reform-minded, young Republican leaders — among them, U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida, U.S. Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin, and Govs. Chris Christie of New Jersey, Nikki Haley of South Carolina and Susana Martinez of New Mexico. Many observers consider Jindal, 41, potential presidential material. He is a blunt talker who pushes big change for government and his party.

Our country faces a momentous choice. The fact is the United States is on an unsustainable course. At stake is nothing less than our position in the world, our standard of living at home and our constitutional freedoms. That is why I am endorsing Mitt Romney for president. We can’t afford four more years in which debt mushrooms out of control, our government grows and our military is weakened. For the past four years, we have squandered one opportunity after the next to turn things around. The longer we delay acting, the steeper the price we will have to pay.

President Barack Obama has refused to extend to victims of Hurricane Isaac in Louisiana the same relief he criticized former President George W. Bush for withholding from New Orleans residents in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. The move has frustrated state and local politicians and contradicts his own campaign rhetoric about disaster relief from just one election cycle ago. In a fiery 2007 speech at Hampton University unveiled last week exclusively by The Daily Caller, Obama excoriated the Bush administration for supposedly refusing to waive requirements of the Stafford Act, federal government for emergency assistance,

Eleven years later, “they” still hate us, now more than ever, Logan told the crowd. The Taliban and al-Qaida have not been vanquished, she added. They’re coming back.

President Obama claims that tax increases will help close the deficit, but a majority of Americans believe he intends to use the money for increased spending, according to a new survey. “You can’t reduce the deficit unless you take a balanced approach that says, ‘We’ve gotta make government leaner and more efficient,’” Obama told CBS last month. “But we’ve also got to ask people – like me or Gov.

A new report obtained by Townhall from the non-partisan Government Accountability Institute [GAI] shows the Obama campaign has potentially violated federal election law by failing to prevent the use of fraudulent or foreign credit card transactions on the official Obama for America [OFA] donation webpage. For the past eight months, GAI has been investigating the potential influence of foreign online campaign donations in House, Senate and presidential elections. The report was conducted using spidering software and found thousands of foreign sites linking to campaign donation pages. The investigation was conducted with the guidance of a former U.S. attorney.

President Obama´s biggest gaffe yesterday when speaking of California Attorney General Kamala Harris was not in flirtatiously complimenting her as "the best-looking attorney general," but in introducing an observation from the system of beauty into a forum that was about the system of power.What´s that, you say? Irin Carmon does a great job in Salon in laying out the bounds of propriety for when it´s appropriate to talk about a woman´s looks as a general matter. But I´ve long felt we lack a solid theoretical underpinning for easily discussing these issues, and why precisely it is that

They´re starting to grow out, get a little irritating.´ Still, she hasn´t let her hairdo woes get her down. ´It´s okay,´ she said after her initial complaint. ´We´ll be good.´ The first indication that her hairstyle was becoming a burden came about last weekend, when Malia, 14, was spotted adjusting her mother´s hair during the White House Easter Egg Roll.

No one is more preoccupied these days with Hillary Clinton´s 2016 plans than the Beltway political class—not even the former presidential candidate herself. To hear some tell it, her decision will be dispositive for all other Democrats thinking of entering the race.
