President Barack Obama Step Aside






By Arthur Piccolo

News Americas, NEW YORK, NY, Fri. Aug. 5, 2011: Somebody had to say it first. This is it.

Call it my 50th birthday message for Barack Obama.

For the good of the country, for the good of our future, for the very survival of the Democratic Party as viable, President Obama must decide NOT to run for re-election. If he is unwilling to do so, those who care about OUR country, OUR future and OUR Democratic Party must convince him to do so.

We are racing toward one of two terrible scenarios in 2012. Either both a Republican controlled House and Senate and an enfeebled barely re-elected President Obama. Our only hope is they don’t get big enough majorities to overcome his one remaining power to veto whacky Republican legislation.

Or the ultimate nightmare scenario in 2012. A Republican House and Senate and a Republican President all beholden to the most right wing reactionary elements in the Republican Party.

Kiss America as we know it or want it good bye!

This fellow Americans is how bad Barack Obama’s Presidency is. How bad was made frightening clear by his complete cave in to Republican radicalism in order that the U.S. not default on its obligations and plunge us into chaos.

Time and again the Republicans have called Obama’s bluff and they win. Making it worse he is a terrible negotiator. Better put a non-negotiator. Nobody fears Obama. Obama was happy to get nothing but a promise the issue would not come up again during his re-election campaign.

I’ve been identifying a core problem with Barack Obama since the day I began this series of weekly Commentaries months ago for NewsAmericas. Obama has only ONE agenda to win re-election at any cost and keep the Very, Very Good Life for himself and Michelle and all the Obamas.

It is sweet indeed living in The White House.

As for his strategy whether he admits it to himself or not and whether his staff has a Clue or not or even cares his strategy is this to do as little as possible to upset anyone meaning Independents and Republicans so he can amass enough Electoral votes otherwise known as states to win again.

He assumes of course with reason Democrats and Democratic majority states will vote for him no matter what he does or does not do in utter FEAR of a Republican President. There he is right.

Well here is our choice call Obama’s bluff.

Tell him the Truth he needs to step aside. Announce he will not seek re-election. That would be the one shining moment of his Presidency for which he will be eternally appreciated. Let him and Michelle start making the Gazillion Dollars a few years early they will earn from Obama having been President.

Get those big book contracts sooner all former Presidents and First Ladies get. Both of them sit on a bunch of corporate boards for the big bucks. Both of them make speech after speech around the world for hundreds of thousands $$ each. Best of all get cut into insider business deals by their Silicon Valley friends and others and make more millions than they can count.

No need to shed any tears for former President Obama. But if he does not take the bait the rest of us will be kept weeping and suffering for years to come as the Republicans dismantle what is left of a vibrant nations “sellingâ€
