Ed Morrissey wonders. I don’t think that the LBJ comparison is quite apt. While LBJ did think a lot of himself, he was also in pretty bad health, and likely knew that another term would kill him (he barely lasted that time period without being president). I think that Obama is far too self delusional to not run again.
On the other hand, Michael Malone has some interesting advice for the president, that he won’t take.
[Update late afternoon]
Wrong link in the second one. It’s fixed now.
The fact that The President and First Lady took separate Jets to vacation departing 3.5 hours apart is tone deaf to the mood in the country.
It may just be saying we don’t care what people think anymore.
“Anymore”?
Michael Malone’s advice is certainly very good. If he were to announce his resignation in his big “policy address” about “jobs” after his vacation, I think we’d see the economy begin to turn around nicely. Needless to say, instead he’ll propose more porkulus and things will sputter and crash once again.
