Does Obama really want the presidency anymore?

[scho63]

The biggest thing I took away from last night's debate was how tired and worn out Obama seemed. Over the last few months he seems lackluster, tired, and just maybe he really is starting to dislike or is worn out after everything he has dealt with over the last 4 years. It is a tough job.....

He never really had to work this hard and for such an extended period in his life and it seems to be taking a real toll on him. All Presidents age in office but Obama seems to be going downhill fast.

He really likes a light work load, being on TV with Oprah, Dave Letterman, and the ladies of the view, playing golf and basketball, hanging with Beyonce Jay Z and the celebs, and his family time and vacations.

Maybe he has decided that winning a second term isn't what it will be cracked up to be and his drive and desire is gone......

You can only be the first Black president just once...(although he really is bi-racial and everyone seems to forget he is 50% white)

He can't stand doing any real, actual work. And he doesn't like anybody challenging him, especially when it comes to his record in office.

One of the hallmarks of narcissism.

He's never really been pushed by the media. He was last night by Romney. He was rattled. No teleprompter - no anwers. He was just a guy with a community organizer background going up against a seasoned veteran politician that had answers. Who, by the way, is becoming very comfortable in front of the camera. Obama doesn't need to be President anymore - he's had his shot and failed. Let a guy with actual governing and business experience have a shot. That's what last night showed me.

Yep. Romney would eat obama alive in the corporate world, at the negotiating table, in a strategic planning session in the boardroom, anywhere.
obama's empty suit was on full display for the world to see last night. He couldn't even look Romney in the eye, kept his eyes down like the beat dog he was. That this is the kind of "leader" in our White House should give everyone great concern.

You're right. This election is pretty darn easy for me anyway. The # 1 problem in the country is the economy in my book. Who is better at fixing it? IMHO, Romney by far. It isn't even close. Last night anyone listening with an open mind would get the same answer. Look, Romney might be a putz, BUT I'd much rather have him in charge of the economy than Obama. He needs to get the country back on track, because what Obama is doing is not working. Plain and simple.

God Damn America never intended to fix the economy.

Meh, Reagan looked unprepared, tired and uninspired when he got destroyed in the 84' debates. ***kickings happen, especially to incumbents.

And all I have to say is, Really, really lame excuse.

"Gore blames Denver altitude for Obama's debate performance"
Published October 04, 2012

It was the altitude. Yeah, that's it.
As liberal pundits cringed Wednesday night over President Obama's debate performance, Al Gore leapt to his defense with a curious explanation.
If Obama seemed like he had his head in the clouds, the former VP reasoned, perhaps it was because he was having trouble adjusting to the Mile-High City.
"I'm going to say something controversial here," Gore said on Current TV, the channel he helped found. "Obama arrived in Denver at 2 p.m. today, just a few hours before the debate started. Romney did his debate prep in Denver. When you go to 5,000 feet, and you only have a few hours to adjust, I don't know ..."
Gore trailed off with a chuckle, but his fellow co-hosts chimed in with agreement.
"Exactly," one of them said off-screen.
Co-host Cenk Uygur noted how when he came from Los Angeles, "You know what I did? I drank two cups of coffee before coming out here."
Another guest added: "It's really different. The first time I ever did stand up in Denver I had the same exact effect. I flew in that day and when your lungs aren't acclimated to that kind of air, yeah it makes you drawn. It makes you off. The president had an off-night."
Other Obama supporters weren't quite so willing to give the president a pass.
"I can't believe i'm saying this, but Obama looks like he DOES need a teleprompter," comedian and Obama supporter Bill Maher tweeted.

Welcome...but that's all they got. Give him a break...when their world view is destroyed, they refuse to do any introspection, it has to be something...the weather, the moderator, the lights, the fans, the podium, lack of teleprompter...etc.
