I think the same. Any politician should only have one term. Only one shot to do it right. No time to waste, no painful decisions to avoid, no planning to do, etc.

Oh no, not another Carter but he has been a second Carter all along with what he is doing.

Something tells me President Obama knew what he was there for and he wasted no time accomplishing his adgenda. I do believe President Bush did the same, just think he thought it would fall more into place.

It's time we all wake up and realize the government has become to "BIG" and too many people are crying for their needs and we have a cultural divide.

One Term is fine with me!! Let's get someone in there who can take us to creating our own jobs, drilling for our own oil, producing our own food, the list goes on.................

He sounds like a defeated man.

It's much easier campaigning than governing, not that he's done much governing.

He will miss the nice vacations and golf courses though.

He'll need a teleprompter to tell him what it is first.

It's quite likely he'll pull an LBJ.

It's possible he's seen the hand-writing on the wall and knows that the next US president, whoever that may be, Democrat, Republican, Independent (it matters not) will be Hoobert Heever Jr. and will go down in history as the president who caused the worst depression in the 21st Century.

Obama Campaign Sends Around Misleading DNC Video on GOP Debate

President Obama’s 2012 campaign is sending out a DNC video suggesting the candidates spoke only about sharia law, an anti-gay-marriage amendment, repealing health care, Sarah Palin, and the space program.

Ha!
