More 2012 talk...

http://www.renewamerica.com/columns/fischer/100123

There is virtually unanimous agreement that President Obama is toast. Mort Zuckerman says the air is out of the balloon, and even Der Spiegel is saying that, for German commentators, the hope is gone. In my judgment, Obama is now a lame duck president with 75% of his first (and only) term remaining.

It goes on for quite a while about how Zero is toast and how he'll drag the entire Dem party down with him. I'm not going to copy and paste it all here, but it's a good read.

Hillary Clinton is of course watching, and I have been predicting for months now that she will launch a primary challenge to Obama in 2012. Rush Limbaugh said much the same thing this past week. The campaign of 2012 is her last realistic shot, and she is shrewd enough to see that he is finished as a politician and she'll just be too old in 2016.

Surely the Democrats in the party will see the same thing, and know that if they back Obama in 2012 they will be backing a loser. Believe me, there will be an underground movement among Democrats to plead with Hillary (or somebody) to save what shreds will remain of their party from The One in the next presidential election.

President Obama has no chance at a second term. And eroding chances of completing his first one.

I most certainly would like to see this happen. I would hate to see her retire out of public life. Somehow, I do not think she will, and I keep hopes that she runs for 2012.

I don't think she will be to old in 2016 but regardless she is not going to retire.  I notice a lot of right wingers want her to run all of a sudden.  Why not concertrate on the GOP but they seem to want Hillary.  Wonder what that is about?

From the article (and thanks, Jen, for posting it - I can't get enough of this topic!smile):

"If the Democrats do not insist that Obama resign from office — politically unlikely to be sure — they are liable to be dessicated, withered and powerless by 2012. His coattails are just long enough to drag them all under unless they detach themselves immediately if not sooner."

The reason Barry doesn't change course - which the author wonders about in the article - is the same reason George W. Bush didn't change course:  They're both following their masters' orders to make as much money for big business as they can - LOOT THE TREASURY - before they get out.  At THIS o-idjit seems to have some talent!
