Pressure is mounting on Barack Obama to throw in the cards and announce that he won't seek re-election as president. Obama is in real trouble when he lost the support of The Chicago Tribune Editorial Board and The New York Times.
Obama got a decidedly downbeat message from his hometown newspaper on Monday - please don't run for re-election.
Chapman, said that Democrats have more-than-able replacement candidate in Hillary Clinton. "Not only that, Clinton is a savvy political veteran who already knows how to run for president."
Oh, and a new Bloomberg poll finds her to be merely 'the most popular national political figure in America today.'
Chapman goes on to say "The sputtering economy is about to stall out, employment is high, his job program may not pass, foreclosures are rampant, his approval rating is at its lower level ever, and the poor guy can't even sneak a cigarette."
Obama's problem is that he knows nothing about the negotiation with those who disagree, because he has always been surrounded by yes-men in his Chicago days.
Obama is damaged goods!
Our final thoughts:
Although we do have to wonder all this talk about him stepping down isn't some way to provide an "OUT" for the brewing scandals: Solyndra and Lightquard.
Keep your eye on former Senator Evan Bayh. There was a reason he retired during Zero's (Obama's) first term. And, he took his $13,000,000 war chest with him.
1+1 still = 2
