    Opinion | One and done: To be a great president, Obama should not seek reelection in 2012

    We do not come to this conclusion lightly. But it is clear, we believe, that the president has largely lost the consent of the governed.
    No !

    From where I stole the subject line...

    You're not just biting ankles, you're nibbling toes.

    I'm not sure why a poster whose very avatar reads "Hope [Obama] Fails" would giddily post an editorial laying out an option that the writers believe could lead to Obama succeeding, unless said poster didn't actually read the editorial and understand the point being made.

    I didn't read the editorial...

    I liked the pull quote too much to pass it up though...

    ...we believe, that the president has largely lost the consent of the governed.
    If I thought there was any danger of Obama taking anyone's advice on how he could succeed, I might be more worried. But, this modern day Narcissus beats anything I've ever seen...apparently, he beats anything most Democrats have seen, too.

    Yep, that he is. He spent the past couple of days talking about how we're a declining nation.

    He hates America. I hope he fails...so America can succeed.

    Oh, I think Chump and Obama are on the same page. I'm sure he sees this as a successful administration.

    Legislatively, a great deal of what he has supported has passed.

    I know facts are annoying.

    The Exec is also actually enforcing regulations, stuff the Repugs never do.

    A Massey mine shut down,
    EPA regs enforced,
    Bull BigPharma crap unapproved or withdrawn,
    etc, etc,

    In spite of obstruction and gutting by Repugs and Blue dog, Pelosi and Reid kicked ass and passed financial regs and health care reform, both of which would have been much better, stronger without pollution, obstruction, weaking from the Repugs and Blue dogs.

    The stimulus was a huge success, doing as much as it could for its too-small size.

    The huge "failures" the Repugs are trying to stick on Obama are really hung over from their own Reign of Error, two bogus wars, and Repug/conservative housing bubble and financial deregulation/non-enforcement.

    Pickett's charge made it all the way to the rock wall too but half of them ended up dead and they lost the battle.

    Really, Obama will probably be remembered as a mediocre president at best -- his biggest accomplishment will be pushing the US closer to universal health care. Future generations will wonder why it was opposed at all.

    Could be. He's still got two years. Obviously he has the "historic" first black president thing in the bag...

    No . To come to the conclusion yourself that this was a full-out attack on Obama, while wrong, would have at least required some critical thinking. But because you are lazy and intellectually dishonest, you posted it blind based on your blogger pulling a few snippets and telling you this was a Post "shiving."

    It's not a bad op-ed though, so at least you indirectly contributed something for once. Congrats! (Non-Pajama version here: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn...T2010111203190 )

    (Yoni's perfect record of never reading past the lede apparently remains intact.

    WC and DarrinS also contend for all-time great status in this category.)
