The is a growing movement within the Democrat Party to have Obama 'volunteer' not to run again in 2012. A serious pro Hillary Clinton movement is challenging the nomination in order to get a 'change' in policy and maybe a personality boost in the election.
The numbers for Obama are not where they need to be to hope for a victory on 2012. "With America's sons in the fields far away, with America's future under challenge right here at home, with our hopes and the world's hopes for peace in the balance every day, I do not believe that I should devote an hour or a day of my time to any personal partisan causes or to any duties other than the awesome duties of this office--the Presidency of your country. Accordingly, I shall not seek, and I will not accept, the nomination of my party for another term as your President." True in 1968 and today............. -------------

Is it anyone other than the Hillary is 44 dorks? Because they have been calling for Obama to step down 2012 since Jan. 20. I read a ton of political rumblings on the Internet and have yet to see another group actually call for Obama not to run again. Maybe I'm not looking in the right places.

I'm more focused on what he does with his time in office rather than who the parties want to run in 2012.

. . . and now for FWD FWD FWD FWD etc . . . Obama stamp Postal Service investigates trouble Posted: July 13, 2009 10:56 pm Eastern
Editor's note: Do you need something to smile about? Every day, WND selects the best joke offered up by readers and contributors to its http://forums.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=350 - Laughlines forum and brings it to you as the WND Joke of the Day. Here is today's offering: The Postal Service created a stamp with a picture of President Obama, but immediately was inundated with complaints that it was not adhering to envelopes. The president was enraged and ordered a full investigation. After a month of testing and $1.73 million in congressional
spending, a special presidential commission presented the following
findings:

Why are we blaming Obama for our "sons in the fields far away"? I don't recall him being the one sending us on the illegal war in Iraq, nor committing us in Afghanistan. I seem to remember someone else being my Commander-in-Chief when I was deployed. ------------- Skillet: I've never been terribly fond of the look of a vagina |

This is the first I've heard of democrats wanting Obama to step down voluntarily in 2012. Sound like something republicans/conservatives are trying to perpetuate because they don't like Obama.

It was a quote from LBJ when he didn't run again.

Whale, I caught the quote. Don't think I'm a moron, although, I do appear to be one at times. You can't really compare Johnson and Obama though. It was two completely different periods in American History. The current wars are (generally) supported, and if not the wars, at least the troops. Viet Nam was, well.... ------------- Skillet: I've never been terribly fond of the look of a vagina |

There's your problem right there. Those two words don't go together in a sentence.
As far as Obama stepping down, I don't see a reason as Democrat political interest goes. Just because his approval ratings are shaky right now, doesn't mean that he's not still very re-electable.
It all just depends on the Republican effort in the next few months, and their ability to pull out a viable candidate. Alot of people had bets that Bush wasn't a good candidate for re-election, but the Dems put up a weak runner in a time of multiple crisis situations.
Besides, all of these sore loser movements (Hillary, Gore, McCain / Palin) are a complete void of political credibility. They're transparently biased, and I wouldn't base any of my opinions on their claims. Obama is still fairly well liked among the left, as far as I know.

Romney is polling fairly well according to what I've read. He would be acceptable-ish among the current crowd on the national stage. And, for the record, if Bobby Jindal or Rick Perry get in the game in the upcoming election season, I'm going to troll the right like FE trolls everyone else endlessly and with no remorse. -------------

I think Jindal has too many Sketeltors in his closet to run. From what I've heard, anyway. I can't see Perry running for pres...he comes off as incredibly half-assed to me, and he has the personality of a brick. Every time I watch him talk, it's like he's thinking "Why the hell am I even here..."
I like Romney. While I haven't had time to keep up with politics like I used to, so I could very well be off, he seems to have a pretty clean record.
But I don't know how well he does as a crossover candidate. And last time his name was thrown out there in the original Bush elections, he was kind of frowned upon for being incredibly religious in an increasingly secular game.
Though again, that could have all changed. He certainly has the look and the mannerisms, polar opposite of Bush.
