I've been saying this since the debate.....His ego won't let him quit, but even he can see if he continues with his commie policies it's going to be a meltdown and he will be blamed...he wants a communist agenda, but it isn't going to happen, he'll get a revolution first. He'd rather go out and be able to blame someone else for awhile and then when Mitts policies work, he'll claim some credit for it as in "I laid the groundwork", that's what the 0 does best...narcissists never take responsibility, they blame others....like Bush, which he has done so many times it has become a joke. He wants to be remembered as something other than the biggest dumbazz ever elected, but it ain't gonna happen, he owns that title and proved it last week.

Byron York notes that his presidential term of four years is about as long as Barack Obama has ever held any one job before seeking to move on, and aggregates pieces by liberals wondering whether the President even wants a second term.

My guess is that the answer is a clear "no." As Ronald Brownstein points out, he has no second term agenda.  

I don't think that he's exactly "bored" in the job (or looking to be "kicked upstairs," as I've put it before).  Rather, it's that the job is harder than he thought it would be...
