When you get down to brass tacks, none of these guys have happy second terms.

If Bush had left office after one term, he'd have toppled Saddam and the Talban, brought the economy back, and been best remembered for the leader he was in the days following 9/11. Instead he got Katrina, lost Congress and got blamed for the Great Recession.

if Clinton had left office after one term, he'd have been remembered as a guy who presided over a good economy and stood up to Republican efforts to dismantle the New Deal and Great Society, but still reformed Welfare. Instead,he's remember as the guy who got impeached for lying about a blow job.

If Reagan had left office after one term, he'd been remembered for bringing us out of a recession, rebuilding a sense of pride in the country and rebuilding our strength. In his second term, he had Iran Contra and appeared to not be in complete control of his own government.

If Nixon had stopped at one, he'd be remembered as the guy who ended Vietnam, opened relations with China, re-ordered America's foreign relations in a changing world to our favor. Instead he's remembered for having to resign over a petty break-in.

Now, admittably, Obama probably won't have many bragging rights about his first term, which is why it is likely to be his ONLY term. But given that these guys never really have good second terms, as their own party is looking beyond him and the oppossition sees him as a lame duck, why in God's name would Obama want a second term...

It's not likely to be any better than his first.

The real question is why didn't Democrats let the republicans win the first time around, and clean up their own damned mess. They always take the righty sucker punch.

yup, nixon, reagan sure took that righty sucker punch...

Clinton was a great president. Only the retarded right remember him "as the guy who got impeached for lying about a blow job".

Really? I had to stretch to find his "accomplishments"...

He was actually a non-entity in the office, when you get right down to it. He really didn't change anything.

In fact, even Wiki can't go two paragraphs without pointing out that he was impeached.

he did further finiancial deregulation.
He came damn close to balancing the budget.
No republican has done that in decades.

You work in a sewer. What are the odds that some guy named 'Barack' is going to reach down and rescue you when the water gets up to your neck?

Why would anyone want to be president this time around?

Is that why we are only getting nuts and fools to run?

The right doesn't remember SHIT "correctly." I've never seen so much euphoric recall and rabid resentment. You lot, the RWNJ on this forum have done nothing but spread hatred and hostility, and make your party look REALLY bad.

I sure hope you're being paid well.

Oh, and don't forget he let Bin Laden go and gave trillions in tax cuts while waging two wars which became the foundation for our enormous deficit.

Every time the right wing tries to elevate their sacred messiah, facts tear down that pedestal. Pity.

Uhg

Even in the sewer we remember

Americas image destroyed around the world
The US openly engaged in torture
Starting wars based on lies
Abandoning the war on terror
A destroyed economy

Save us Barack.....we can't go through that again!

I thought Libya was working out for Oby.

Why is the government's responsibility to bring losers up to the level of winners?

Inequality? I think not.

i think its simply the way you handle the cards you were dealt.

i grew up in a town where i went in the morning with my grandfather to kill our dinner with rifles.

I now live in the wealthiest county in Tennessee.

i am a business owner. I LOVE PAYDAY! I LOVE THE DAY I GET TO PAY MY EMPLOYEES! its great to reward them and thank them for their help and HARD WORK> WORK IS HARD-THATS WHY YOU GET PAID. Sitting on the sofa is not a way to get wealthy- thinking that people who work and make money are evil is not either- If you want to have money you should work for it. thats why its their, it has value, it has worth. what do liberals not understand? I am not paying them for nothing, I am paying them because they worked, which was worth VALUE/MONEY. GO TO WORK!

LOL good point, Joe! After six years, everyone feels like, you've been around here way too long, so you should probably just pack it up.
