Obama: My family would be fine with just 1 term

WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama says his wife and daughters aren't "invested" in him being president and would have been fine had he decided against running for re-election. But he says they believe in what he's doing for the country.

Asked about his family's reaction to his wanting another term, Obama said: "Michelle and the kids are wonderful in that if I said, `You know, guys, I want to do something different,' They'd be fine. They're not invested in daddy being president or my husband being president."

He says first lady Michelle Obama would be the first one to encourage him to do something "a little less stressful" if she no longer thought that what they were doing was worthwhile for the country. Obama's interview aired Tuesday on NBC's "Today" show.

What they really said is "sorry, but we cant vote for you again"

I heard the guy speak this morning and he still sounds like his head is on straight to me..

[PorkChopSandwiches]

He is good a talking, its doing thats tough for him

[Muddy]

Only real issue I have with him is the Libya deal and the bail out deals.. Other than that he is no better or worse than any of those other criminals in Washington.

[Acid Trip]

I'm okay with him being a one term president too. He and I finally agree on something.

[PorkChopSandwiches]

Afghanistan/Iraq still not out of, now in Libya (so in essence expanded the war, or got involved in another)
Bail Outs
Health plan seems to be a joke.
gas prices are again out of hand

But, I cant say all these things wouldnt be the same with someone else in office.

Yeah but you don't go on TV and basically say that the jobs situation is not his fault and there's nothing he can do about it except focus on "the jobs of the future"

It isn't his fault, he inherited it, remember?

Whose fault is it? I'd more so blame the upper crust of our society for outsourcing all of our manufacturing to protect their bottom lines.

Blame the Chinese then for manipulating their currency so that we aren't on any kind of the same playing field.

I blame our govt. for rewarding the rich with tax credits that assist them in the moving of jobs.

That's tired leftist class warfare bullshit.

It's not my job to be a cheerleader for the economy. It's not my job to set the tone and environment where business can thrive and not be wary and uncertain.

But it is the President's job. Saying that the jobs are gone because of ATM's and airport kiosks and saying that the only thing he can do is focus on the future doesn't make me at all confident that we have a recovery coming. "what the fuck" is what came out of my mouth this morning.

That's pretty and all but you didn't answer the question... Who's fault is it then? Whats the problem?
