— Open Blogger Ed Morrisey over at HotAir has an amusing speculation - what if Obama doesn't run again?
Lets pretend Ed's right and Obama decides he's not into this anymore and announces in a few months that he's not running for reelection. Hillary and how many dozen other Dems are going to jump into a suddenly wide-open race? Gotta assume Hillary's the front runner. She'll suck up lots of "I'm so sorry I supported Obama and betrayed you Hill." Would Biden run? I can't imagine who else would jump in - rather, who wouldn't jump in?And it would have an large impact on the Republican race - the guys more towards the center become stronger as the fight for the middle picks up steam.
Best Election Cycle Ever!
(as a spectator sport)
Ok, this post sucked. I've got a better one!
Latest Obama Brain Storm - Free Lunches for Affluent students!
... the recent $4.5 billion expansion of the Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act, which will now provide free lunches to ALL - rich and poor, needy and non-needy - of Detroit’s 65,800 public school-students.But the program’s logic is even more insane than the price tag: The administration says it is giving rich kids free food to eliminate the shame that less-fortunate students may feel in receiving free food. We’re not making this up."We’ve worked very hard to reduce the stigma," Aaron Lavallee, a U.S. Department of Agriculture spokesman,..." "Now all students will walk through a lunch line and not have to pay," says Mark Schrupp, Detroit Public Schools COO. "Low-income students will not be easily identifiable and will be less likely to skip meals."Again, we aren’t making this up.... government has become a piggy bank for the Left to hand out favors to friends, subsidize third-car hybrid purchases for the rich, and test goofy theories about class stigma
Again, this is in Detroit! A city that doesn't need more bold social experiments.

Obama and Michelle have been reported as saying that being in The White House is just too hard... It really, really sucks, you know?
I think Obama's a sociopath, however, and sociopaths are never wrong. They'd destroy everything rather than admit they were wrong.
otoh, most of our political institutions are full of sociopaths, so take it for what it's worth. (The scary part is, we keep electing sociopaths to lead us...and then we can't understand why the nation has gone bug**** crazy, or why we're up to our asses in alligators.)

"Lets pretend Ed's right and Obama decides he's not into this anymore and announces in a few months that he's not running for reelection."
Tough call.
On one hand, JEF is a narcissist's narcissist. He claims victories that just abut everyone sees as draws at best, disasterous failures at worst (and in fact unnecessary failures, easily avoidable even by student government candidates). Rumors indicate that just about every insider in D.C., of any political affiliation, sees JEF as incompetent, completely out of his league, --> unprepar ed able ... probably the subject of much humor, even among his people inside the White House ...
Yet, can JEF even consider not running? I have yet to see his visage on any US stamps or coins, but ... perhaps something in 2012
On the other hand, has he EVER finished a job; one of any importance? The ones he has finished, his degrees, his community organizer activities, his time in elected state positions ("Present!!"), indicate someone simply telling him "it's over, here's your __(insert reward Rezko-esque payoff here)____". Other things, like Ill. US Senator, were never finished, and the results ... where is his legislation? What about his positions ... on the economy, Iraq, Afghanistan ... oh, right, he changed ... or did he change back ... or something?
Will the D-powers-that-be risk ending the Democrat Party by running JEF again? Can they force him out, into a very private and quite retirement? This looks to be the bottom line.
I'm stocking up on popcorn, beer and cash money.

Narcissistic sociopaths like Obama never give up the opportunity to prove how wrong America has been, and why he should be reelected to complete his good work.
Yeah, that about sums it up. They talk about LBJ's "ego", but somebody can have a big ego without the over-the-top narcissism Obama has displayed. This guy has done nothing but campaign since before he was elected a senator. It's like a way of life - it's "what he does". All this golfing and vacationing is his way of saying, "the whole goddamn country can just f-ing wait until I'm good any ready to do whatever I'm gonna do. I'm important, and they're not. I'm putting it on their tab, too - because I can." Yeah, he'll go down saying, "they just don't get it." This article is good news, however. Clearly, the Left recognizes Obama as "Carter, on steroids." They're thinking out loud about what to do about it, but they won't really actually do anything. ("Doing" was never a strong point for them.) They're just venting their own useless frustrations. When it comes down to it, Obama is everything they stand for and believe in, but they choose to identify him as the failure, rather than their socialism, which he has advanced more than anyone since LBJ.

Oh, BTW, I can't believe anybody is suggesting Joe Biden as filling in the (imaginary) vacuum.
The guy is the the quintessential joke of a politician, and a gaffe machine. Obama picked him for his Old Guard connections, to add some actual experience to the ticket, and so that people wouldn't look at the VP and say, "you know, we really would have done better with a guy like that in charge."

One minor correction. He won't drop out gracefully. He'll go out in a blaze of martyred glory, blaming everyone in sight for his failures and claiming it's for the best of the country since we're obviously not good enough for him and he was ahead of his time.

He could certainly make the announcement before the Republican convention. This would put the news media in a tizzy, ignoring the GOP coronation in favor of the back-room deals the Democrats would be doing.
Frankly, I wouldn't be surprised at anything. He will run one of the weirdest campaigns in modern history. You will see stunts you didn't believe were possible.
Consider this: What if, after raising a lot of dough, he announces in June that he is considering not running? Then they gin up all sorts of events that amount to Democrats begging him to run.
Another is VP Huntsman.
There will be mindblowing weirdness at every turn.

Not in 4 years. The second Obama is out, all the Democrats will exhale and say, "Now that was a stuttering clusterfuck of a miserable failure!" and he'll be shunted off to the side. He might be rehabilitated in, say, 12 or 16 years, but once he's out, his only chance is the Nixonian return.

That was some fair-to-middling sarcasm.
Seriously though, Hillary looks terrible. She's falling to pieces. Maybe it's depression, maybe it's alcoholism, but she's not running for anything in '12. She's spent.
Say, here is a classic surreal Obama vs. Hillary computerized animation from the '08 campaign. Some of the most well-executed vicious satire I've seen. I hope the guy produces something this season. (Modeled after "Carrie.")

@170 The second Obama is out, all the Democrats will exhale and say, "Now that was a stuttering clusterfuck of a miserable failure!" and he'll be shunted off to the side.
No, no, they'll speak of him in hushed reverential tones, as if he'd actually been a success, counting on the ignorance of bystanders to realize that he was a SCoaMF.
See JFK - a mediocre President whose ineptitude bungled the Bay of Pigs, then almost got us all vaporized with the Cuban missle crisis (by so underwhelming Khruschev that the latter decided to try it on with this callow youth we'd elected). JFK was a failure across the board ... until he got smoked in Dallas (where he visited in an effort to cheer up his shaky re-election chances), then he became a martyr, George Washington and Abraham Lincoln to the nth power. If he'd ducked at the opportune moment, he'd have been the Jimmy Carter of his day.

About 8 years ago, they instituted a similar free for all breakfast program in MS public schools. My daughter never got to eat so many French Toasts smothered with butter and syrup before. I wouldn't allow that sugary crap at home, but the State knew better.

When I went to school in the dark ages, parents were responsible for their children, and lunch consisted of a ham, cheese, or P&B sandwich, a piece of fresh fruit, and free water from the fountain.

Also, the requisite apple and a Little Debbie item. Remember those bizarre "oatmeal cookie sandwiches" from Lil Debbie? It was as if they had imploded into brown goo that subsequently crustified.

That train left the station a long time ago. In fourth and fifth grades I went to elementary schools that used checks, check-pluses, and check-minuses. They also refused to track us by ability, which meant the "smart kids" sat in the back on independent study while the other kids got the teacher's attention. This was public school in the early 70s.

If you have an unruly classroom, nothing will get taught because you will spend the entire time trying to reprimand. But they don't mention that in the School of Education. They are more interested in showing you how to be friends with the students and how to best adapt to the current environment. In other words, they teach you how to best play the game and do what you're told.* The good thing about Texas, though, is that (outside of TAKS) you have more freedom in the classroom than some other states. It really depends on the individual school district.
*Which is a one reason why I left.

My kids' school disctrict has been using their ID cards as lunch cards for years - at least 13, since my youngest is now a senior. Parents who have to pay put money in their kids account, parents who don't have to pay don't, but everyone uses the same card and nobody knows who's free and who's not, unless they choose to say. More of that pesky technology that Obama complains about.

follow this school lunch thing to its inevitable big government conclusion, based on the principle of not wanting to stigmatize poor kids:
first, school lunches are now free to anyone who wants one whether rich or poor.
Now kids can still bring sack lunches from home. But the quality of food coming in lunchbags of the rich subrurban kids is very often far superior to the cafeteria food, thereby stigmatizing the inner city kids who cant afford a decent sack lunch.
So instead of ensuring some quality control to make school lunches tasty, how soon before theres a ban on bringing any food on campus? And then the only food available on campus will be district/government approved food products from sketchy sources because all the district spending is tied up in unionized school employee salaries and benefits.
And that sandwich and granola bar in your backpack? Racist. Forget it. Under the next line of Rules Against Stigmatizing Poor Kids, you will be suspended if you bring food onto campus grounds.
