| Does Barack Obama want to be re-elected in 2012? |

| #14 It would be a good gig if it weren't for all the troublesome plebeians in fly-over land and it allowed more time for golf. BHO thought the swearing in meant deification not work. |

| #1 Why? Too conceited to lower himself to the grubby world of politics. I suppose that fits in with the narcissist theory. Or, having set the ship of state on a collision course, he wants to get off the boat before it sinks. |
