'Obama unlikely to last his first term'
2010-10-28
[Iran Press TV] A US analyst says US President Barack B.O. Obama is unlikely to end his first term as there are serious efforts by American officials to remove him due to his incompetence.

"It is very doubtful at this time that he will last his first term," Edward Spannaus of Executive Intelligence Review
How clever of the Iran PressTV journalist to consult the ever-reliable Larouche team.
said in an interview with Press TV on Wednesday. "There are people who are upset within the administration and the Democratic party who are seriously considering how to remove Obama from presidency," Spannaus added.

Many of them put out all their calls for removing Obama under the amendment 25th of the US Constitution. The amendment allows for the removal of the US president if he is incapacitated either physically or mentally.

Spannaus also opined that people in the military are upset because Obama "is not attentive" to what is going on. "We have troops killing and being killed and he is not interested in dealing with it," he further explained.

Elsewhere in his remarks, Spannaus said people inside the White House say, "Once he got into the White House he is very unhappy having to govern ... he is very frustrated, he is very depressed, some reports say he is on medications and he cannot concentrate or focus, which is a mental problem."

"It is the question of what he is going to do now in this term, the question of the second term is out of the question," he concluded.

According to a new Harris Interactive survey released on Tuesday, just over one-third or 37 percent of respondents have positive opinion about Obama, while about 67 percent of Americans disapprove Obama's performance on jobs and economy.

A recent opinion poll conducted by Gallup had previously revealed that more than half of American voters would not support the re-election of Obama.

#26  O reminds me of the Kennedy joke, "Its my football so we play by my rules". In my opinion he will cling to everything he believes. When November elections are over he will continue as he has. He would have been called an Oreo in the old days by his own people. He desperately wants to be black so he clings to his teachings as a life preserver. He will rally his people to himself at the expense of the country. Riots like in France are very possible. It is a sad thing to see. He is a very weak man and will go out kicking , screaming and possibly in a straight jacket.

#25  I could see him doing an LBJ and bailing out of the '12 campaign if it looks like he's not going to get the nomination.

I could also see him being Jimmy Carter 1980, with a strong primary opponent in Ted Hillary Kennedy Clinton. How that would play out would be dependent on how the "superdelegates" lined up.

Resign before 1/20/13? Not flamin' likely.

#24  As if he has ever paid for anything.

#23  Nope. He will have to serve the next 6 years in order to pay off all the promises he has had to make over the last couple weeks.

#22  First (and hopefully only) Affirmative Action President.

This is probably the first time in his entire life he's had a 'real' job where he actually has to work and is held responsible for it. He doesn't like and, by all accounts, Michelle defiantly doesn't like it.

#21  He'll finish his term but he won't run again.

The guy doesn't even enjoy being president. He's constantly trying to shirk the work and sneak out to the golf course.

As ex-President he can everything he likes about the job, and none of the work and criticism.

He was always just a face anyway, the left put him forward as their only electable front. He's becoming a liability and the left will find a new face and persuade him to retire.

#19  There is the matter of physical health.

Only if he had a stroke. Which I do not wish on anyone. An impeachment effort would not be effective unless the Republicans have veto-proof majorities in both Houses, which isn't likely to happen. The president is not going to step down -- why should he, when he can golf and go headline rallies on the government dime for a few more years, things he's good at -- although it's likely, in my uneducated opinion, that he will choose not to run again.

He should have stayed in the Senate, where he could shmooze and posture to his heart's content without any accountability.

#18  rjshwarz hit the nail on the head. Race card beats an ace

Dunno about that. If enough investigation on all the DoJ and other corruption goes on and it keeps pointing back to Bambi, enough people will be pissed enough to have House feel comfortable to start impeachment proceedings. I have often wondered since this Chicago boy was elected if he would finish his first term without being impeached.

#13  I'll give you one good reason he'll never be impeached or otherwise removed from office.

He IS Americas version of Gordon Brown.

#10  Making a martyr of him

It changed JFK from a marginally incompetent president into 'one of the greatest ever.'
This is, I believe, a serious risk, and I hope he respects his Secret Service people more than his Dem predecessor did. They have their work cut out for them, God bless 'em.

#9  I certainly hope nobody takes him out (he won't be impeached). I want him to finish his term alive, bitter, and repudiated. Making a martyr of him would overshadow his overreaching socialism, arrogance, lack of credentials and experience, and general jerkery.

#8  Hillary Clinton is eagerly waiting in the wings to be called by her party. She is no better than Obummer. Both are radical leftist idealogues.

#7  If he finishes one term and then leaves, will be as irritating as Jimmy Carter in his senile years? or as vulgar as Bill Clinton in his pedophile years?

YES think of both as one person, then throw in really aggravating TV "preacher"(Reverend Ike for example) and add a permanent whine, "They wouldn't listen to me"), and you're close.

#6  Won't happen. The race card (and their own rising poll numbers while he's in charge) will ensure the Republicans don't try to impeach him. The Dems wouldn't dare because if they turned on him they'd lose the black vote entirely. More likely a landslide of Democratic money starts to go towards Hillary for the 2012 primary challenge.

The only scenario I can see Barrack voluntarily stepping down would be if he knew he would lose the primary to Hillary by a landslide. Otherwise he'll fight them at the ballot boxes with his dwindling percentage of hard core lefties hoping the other side decides not to show up on voting day.

#5   ...remove him due to his incompetence.

Well, it ain't gonna happen, NOT to say I disagree with the principle.
