Liberals were saying the same thing I did when the midterms were around. Didn't all Democrat senators lose their seats too (except 1?)?

What with everything still on a down side, sliding the the hill over the cliff and up the river, economy, housing criris, unemployment, businessess, failing and not going away economy, there is a possibility anyone with even half a brain will not makes the same mistake twice.

My dem friends are not voting for him if he is too run, and my black friends will not be suporting him this time around, should he run.
With him in office, way too many good hard working Americans lost jobs under this President only, no one else, this one, i myself know 15 of these families, and some lost their homes too, sad.

Nice move of the goal posts.

But no. Even the most hopeful liberals knew we were in for a blood bath in the 2010 mid-terms.

Why does that lead me to suspect you have very few "dem friends" or "black friends?"

Do you feel this could actually happen and would there be an immediate burst of positive economic activity as a result?

I know many Democrats also want Hillary to run a primary against him to get a chance at the White House again in 2012.

I have been waiting for this to take place since it was one of my predictions that I made last year, sort of. I thought that Hillary would see that Obama was on the ropes and she would resign and challenge him. This would be good timing giving Hillary 14 months so I can see it.
I do not think there will be any positive economic activity by a announcement, the fundamentals of our economy are flawed.

I'd be happy if he did.

Maybe we'd be able to get a decent viable candidate for president for 2012 if he did.

The OP could be right, Hillary was just on the TV and she was dolled up more than I've ever seen in the last three years. Looked like she was running 100%.

Obama the Quitter, that's how history will judge him I doubt he will do it unless the Enquirer is about to break something major or something.
