I have been picking up some chatter suggesting Obama will shock America in his jobs speech next week, when he announces among things that he will not run for re-election in 2012. Chatter suggests this is why he is requesting his announcement be on such a grand stage.

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

No, I don't think it will happen. His ego is too big.

I don't know how much of a megalomaniac Obama is so I don't know. If what you are suggesting is true, then the DNC is realizing that 2012 will be the year the GOP takes control of both houses of Congress and the presidency and will probably want somebody, like Hillary, to run in 2012 to re-energize the Democrat base that's been disappointed with Obama.

But somehow I think that's not going to happen, despite calls from the fringe far left in the blogosphere for a primary challenger to Obama.

Resign...only if a big scandal is about to blow up on him.

You don't think him being ok with sending guns to Mexico is not enough?

He won't resign because he thinks too highly of himself.

I would not blame him if he did. If I were Obama, I'd want to get the stench of the GOP as far away from me and mine as humanly possible. I'd take a year long shower after being in such close proximity to the GOP/Tea Party/ Neocon slime.

No. With the possibilities in the republican party he won't have any problem winning.
