Is he serious? What is this a co-presidency? I don't think that's in the Constitution. Obama seems like he is given up. He doesn't want to deal with the difficult parts of the job and is going to delegate them to people who are willing to deal with them. He just wants to enjoy the ceremonial parts of being the Commander in Chief and leave the heavy lifting to others.

Is Obama tired of being President?

I don't know if he's tired of being President, but I'm sure tired of him being President.

At this point I wouldn't be surprised if Obama decided not to run in 2012. Maybe it will be Palin vs. Hillary. Originally Posted by Kimble

Thats what happens when the idiots in this country looking for a free handout vote on skin color and not qualifications. A "community organizer" with no work experience and a political history as a junior Senator compared to a freaking war hero and senior Senator. The HOPE is gone and the CHANGE is worthless.

I agree with you 100% , I think it does'nt matter who runs or who gets voted in they are ALL LIARS, I guess it could always be worse...I don't dwindle into politics too much, in fact I know very little about them only b/c I don't believe ANY of them, and I personally feel in the end it's really not going to matter whose running this country... but that's just my thoughts.

yeah, I think we both do, the new Obama healthcare plan can kiss my butt, all it did was create bigger issues...it's horrible where I work b/c they are all on life support and basically we have *ONE* month with Medicare patients to wean them off if not it's either make granny a DNR or ship her out of state, it sucks! but then again 99.9% of our patients should be DNR's b/c they are that critical, but it's just the principle behind it too, it's so messed up... but once again it could be worse atleast we have laws, medical and our Freedom....

I think that really sums up Obama's Presidency. He is too busy going to, being on, or returning from vacation to handle the job of president. He wants all of the privilege, but none of the responsibility.
But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object, evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new guards for their future security.
Translation for the intellectually challenged: If the government screws the people too much, it is the right and duty of the people to revolt and form a new government.
