re: #1 Rightwingconspirator

Obama is a natural single term guy. As natural as a terrible economy. Or poor results in Afghanistan. Remember of 41st President? Liberated Kuwait, got spending limits in and lost the election. Imagining Obama as a one term guy is as reasonable as can be. If you ever observed any previous one term Presidents anyway.

Recession can kill an administration, and many DC careers.

Honestly - I don’t see Obama as a one-termer. For one thing, the R’s have no one reasonable that can be put into the running. I just don’t see ‘em finding anyone in time (like, now).
