Default Obama Urged Not To Run???

I'm sure most of you have heard about Steve Chapman's article in the Chicago Tribune urging Obama not to run again in 2012 (see below link if you haven't). I'm curious about this. chapman is supposedly a Democrat and the Tribune is a solid Obama supporter from 2008. Up toll recently, there were no cracks in the Democratic dam and solid support for no other Democrats to run against Obama.

What is going on? Yes, I know Obama is failing as a President but since when did the Democrats care about something like that? Hillary is saying she won't run and it looks like the Dems are at least surreptitiously looking for another candidate (anybody but Barry O). What is really going on?

I work in a school. A very liberal environment. Many teachers are talking out against Obama. He's losing support in many areas.

He is anti-union after all, so the unions not backing him only makes sense.

That, and like my worthless Governor, he's pissed off groups from all over weakening his position for re-election. Not to mention further angering his opponents from the get go.

I've been waiting for the Democratic party to ask Obama to step aside for a few months now.

I was thinking a couple months ago that a good--not necessarily right strategy for the GOP to use is to pull out the race card for Osamba. Set the stage so that any democrat who runs against him is doing so out of racism. After all, we would prefer to run against him in 12 if the status quo does't change. I next to never listen to Rush, but my friend had him on in the car the other day. It sounds like this is exactly what Rush is up to right now. He said something to the effect of: dems won't run against obama because they know they would be called racist.

really? He used tarp money to pay off the UAW. He used his stimulus plan to pay off state unions. He followed up last year with close to 30 billion to pay off teachers union. They filed a lawsuit against Boeing to block the new factory. Then you come here and say he is anti union? How so? Please explain.

Hmmm, anti union? Like wasnt that Trumka at the White House doorbell like how many times? Perhaps it my out of date CRT telebisons lack of resolution, or the need for more tinfoil on the rabbit ears that makes people standing on stage next to Barry look like a Trumka.

I was wondering the same thing. From what I have see Obama seems very pro-union.

I would really enjoy watching a fight within the democrat party to get Obama to step aside. I say "fight" because I do not believe he would ever step aside for anyone's good. Obama is willing to wreck the U.S. economy why not the democrat party as well?

They know he is likely to get defeated in 2012 because America is beginning to see him as extremely radical and not at all a reasonable POTUS. They want to set up someone like Hillary to run on the dem ticket. She can run as a moderate democrat that is "well rounded" and appeal to people of both sides of the aisle, come in to "save the day" and finish off this country. Hillary may be saying she won't run but have you ever believed anything spewing from a dems mouth?

Hell no he wouldn't. He is far to arrogant to step aside for the good of anyone other than himself.

I hit on this in another thread, but anti-union ? Throw away that crack pipe, friend ! The democrat party is OWNED by unions...it's a significant part of o-bammy's power base and source of money for the dems. Obama is VERY PRO union...to claim otherwise is either too partisan or ignorant.

As far as whether or not Barry will run....well....the lady doth protest too much. What we have here, is an ideologue who embraces radical socialism in a country which still mostly holds that abomination as anathema. Barry has attempted to apply this garbage to 'HOPEfully CHANGE' the basic flavor of this country. He is failing miserably. So, the democrats, vile disgusting rats scrabbling to hold onto their power, will throw their 'darling' under the bus to further drive their sick and twisted vision of this country forward. HIllary is amply capable of picking up the baton dropped by obama...she is, after all, a political accolyte of Saul Alinsky so the radical leftist's sensibilities would not be offended. Further, there is a HUGE contingent of amerikans who have deluded themselves that Mrs.Klinton is a centrist, a notion that hillary promotes and husbands.
You will see....obama will either decline a second term or the dems will allow hitlery to primary against barry. Then, watch out. Hillary will become their "First Woman President" candidate, and I do not believe any of the current field of republican candidates are strong enough to defeat her when the groundswell of support from the party of the 'great unwashed' rallies to her support. It's not only the Chicago Tribune that's hinted at barry walking away from the Oval office, we have an opinion piece in the Washington Post as well:

http://www.washingtonpost.com/opinio...1iK_story.html



The stage is set for a Klinton coup....and this would be 4 more years of obama policies imposed on amerikans. This time however, with the 'seal of approval' that these policies would be moderate policies supported by "The People" who've clearly given the democrats a mandate. Hope that hitlery will not be wooed by the discontented democrats.....

Why should he....this is the best real job he ever had....did I say best???? Sorry....I mean only.


Clinton can't be all done. She is ditching her fat government job for a good reason and I doubt that it is to spend more time with Billy.
