#3 If Mummar falls, it will give Obama a bump up on foreign policy. Also, unlike Jimmy (remember Ted Kennedy ran against Jimmy for the 1980 nomination), Obama does not seem to have any big name opponent.

"bends towards failure"? More like "utter catastrophe"?

#5 At the heart of Obamas foreign policy is the belief that Americas days as a dominant world power are over, and its a good thing at that. The president and his aides, after all, tend to view Americas role in the world as arrogant and imperialistic. It tells us something that every previous president was instinctively inclined to defend the United States, while Obama is far more inclined to apologize for her and place himself above her. He has undermined Americas moral self-confidence.

But not my confidence in this Country, and not the the Tea Party's confidence. Only the ~~socialists~~ Obamanauts have no confidence in the Country as it used to be. They only have confidence it what they think they can make it.

#9 Consider Obamas remarks in June on the Today Show when he said his family is not invested in a second term. He told the interviewer If I said, you know guys, I want to do something different, theyd be fine with that.

He's not been "invested" in the first term. Why should he expect his family to "invest" in a second.
