WOW – Chicago Newspaper Tells Obama It’s Time to Quit

An editorial in Barack Obama’s own hometown newspaper tells the president he should not seek a second term as president.
In a just-published editorial by the Chicago Tribune’s Stephen Chapmam, President Obama is being given some harsh hometown treatment from a newspaper that was once such a staunch supporter of its favorite son. In a column titled Why Obama Should Withdraw, Chapman lays out the details of all that is working against the possibility of a second Barack Obama presidential term.
The economy ranks foremost of course – with unemployment remaining at an abysmal 9 percent. (Much higher in some states – and likely higher than that if the government were to count those Americans who have simply given up seeking work) Instead of Ronald Reagan’s “Morning in America” slogan for 1984, Chapman likens Barack Obama’s 2012 slogan to be “Midnight in a coal mine”. Ouch.
Chapman points to the growing discord against the president from within the ranks of the Democratic Party, including the recent remarks by such modern-era political luminaries such as James Carville, who loudly proclaimed it was time for Barack Obama to “panic”.
And then, in a move certain to excite some within the Democratic Party, and cause increasing heartburn among the diminished number of remaining Obama loyalists, Chapman calls for Hillary Clinton to step into the void created by Obama’s decision to not seek a second term:
As it happens, there is someone at hand who fits this description: Hillary Clinton. Her husband presided over a boom, she’s been busy deposing dictators instead of destroying jobs, and she’s never been accused of being a pushover.
Not only that, Clinton is a savvy political veteran who already knows how to run for president. Oh, and a new Bloomberg poll finds her to be merely “the most popular national political figure in America today.”

The Obama Presidency is a complete and utter failure. It’s time to pick up your ball and go, Barry.
I really hope Hillary doesn’t run. I actually think the GOP can beat Obama, but Clinton…? I honestly think she might be seen as a powerful moderate and I suspect we might end up with her winning.
Still…I’d MUCH rather have Hillary than Barry, ANY day of the week. It’s time for a grownup in the White House. The boy-wonder has GOT TO GO
I hope obama does not get a primary challenge and doubles down on a second term.
Hillary has not done such a great job at State to say the least.
Hillary will not have the protection from all her questionable behavior during her husband’s administration (FBI Files, problems with Vincent Foster “suicide”, etc., ) because her husband is no longer POTUS.
James Carville is a “political luminary?”
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!
Should Obama go, he will take the hit for Soylandra, perhaps other scandals brewing, Fast and Furious and its Honduran twin gun running scandal, all that misbehavior.
Think who will then get off scott free, under the radar if he goes. Lots of Chicago people, among others.
Why do you think the big Chicago paper is touting Hillary? Her problems aren’t endemic to Chicago.
The democrat party is little more than a gigantic money laundering con.
Liberals are so laughably transparent.
If they weren’t stealing tax dollars, that is.
But, then, such is a part of their DNA.
nice share
He might leave but only if he gets to take Reggie Love with him to help with his flossing. With his free time he’d be able to sort out how many states there are in the nation and how old his daughters actually are.
“She’s [Hillary's] been busy deposing dictators …”
LOL, well THAT certainly gives the Steve Chapman credibility in his opinion piece …
FYI — Mr. Chapman is an “independent, libertarian” columnist for the Trib.
nice share
nice info..:)
Yes, let’s trade Obamacare for Hillarycare, lol. What could possibly go wrong?
Hillary is as big a marxist/socialist as Obama. No thank you.
Hillary has to much diry laundry. But that being said, Anyone would be better then Obama. Yosemite Sam is a better choice then the con-man in chief that is squatting in our White House now.
Same socialist policies, different package. Can’t wait for the next historical election, seeing how well the last one worked. Time for the electoriate to vote in who is best for the country and not vote in a popularity contest!!
Let’s see, what do they have in common? Chicago, Saul Alinsky, government control of your 401k, Obillary care, death to evil oil execs, shady business dealings. Need I go on?

Problem with the Republican and Democrat parties is that they are just appendages of a two-headed monster. Really, they are one and the same with fake facades to keep us arguing with each other.
Look, the powers that be are still the same, no ones been prosecuted. The bankers still get away with stealing. We’re still in Iraq and Afghanistan, and now Libya and Yemen along with most of the Middle-east ready to ramp up.
So, really nothing has changed except they’ve carted out a different version of the same thing to parade in front of the “Sheeple” so that they can keep us occupied while they secretly rob us and skin us alive.
Go back to the argument over the Debt ceiling. In the end they agreed to $353 Million when they should have been talking at least 1 1/2 Trillion reduction (No wonder S&P downgraded our credit rating).
No difference. Smoke and mirrors with a lot of backroom deals where we, the sheeple are the ones paying the price
I am happy to see that even Chicago, has grown tired of this fool! I have spent my life in military service and never have I witnessed such irrational, self serving, arrogance from anyone! You have to ask yourself how can an electorate with intelligence put this man in office, this country cannot suffer another 4 years of Obama, its time the people run the country!

I’m a South African and don’t know all the finite details of Barack Obama’s presidential term. However, I do believe it would be absolutely great if the U.S. had a female president. And, in view of the unemployment situation, and need for any number of fresh employment opportunities, believe it is vital to choose a woman who has started her own company, is an employer, and, therefore, at the very least, knows HOW to create jobs!
PS: quite frankly, I can’t understand why non-entrepreneurial people, who have no experience in successfully starting and effectively running their own companies (or corporations), and have no proven ability to create their own employment, or employment for others, are ever elected as the ‘labor minister,’ or president, of any country!
To Kevin…if you have spent your life in the military, you must be blind. By far, the most irrational, self-serving, arrogance out of the White House came from the man who got us in this mess, GW Bush. Why has the Obama presidency been so difficult? Firstly, the challenges are tough, the hurdles high. But these challenges are not of his making, but by inheritance. This is the result of the long, slow decline of the Bush policy of going to war without figuring out who is going to pay. And now we’re paying. Bush was no idiot; he knew that the public could not stomach paying for a war by sacrifice, so he did it on credit, with interest. That ain’t Obama’s doing.
Secondly, the GOP has stymied every chance to make real inroads while the Obama administration has attempted to negotiate. They play the “oh, he’s a socialist, he’s big government.” But bull. You got to increase revenue. That’s the only way. Only the gomers on FOX think that spending alone can solve anything.
So, give Obama some credit, and your support. He is our president and he was given the shitty end of the stick.
@Kevin
You couldn’t say it better than that.
Hilliary is just as bad as Obama and willingly does his bidding in the destruction of this country. She idolizes Saul Alinsky, did her thesis on h im and was a proud card carrying communists in the 80’s.
She also is as corrupt as Obama.
No way do we let her on the ballot.
Lars, you drank the kool aid too long. Any idiot can see that Obama does not want a strong economy and is out to destroy capitalism.
Americans are hard working ppl who need a president who loves this country as much as they do. There is no stopping them in creating jobs and a strong economy but it is imperative that we have a President who understands and stands with Americans.
The world is beginning to see his true colors and when guys pulling the strings are tired of him, he will have to go into exile or back to his Kenyan village to die as a lonely man. He will be hated by all.
That weasel Carville would love it if Hillary stepped in.
Lars,
Wow! What can one say? You’ve been mislead my dear poor boy.
Is Bush responsible for getting us into Afghanistan and Iraq? Sure he was. Is Obama responsible for Libya and Syria… leaving Iran to the next administration? Sure he is. Hell, he’s got us playing around in Uganda for God only knows what. Why aren’t you complaining about that?
Going into Iraq and Afghanistan were overwhelmingly approved by Congress. Was Libya? Is Uganda?
Listen; I’m not going to blow smoke up your butt about Republicans and Democrats. I’m a far of the charts right conservative, but I happen to be one with no real country right now. Possibly the Tea party is my real government, but the jury is still out.
We’ve got far bigger problems right now. Look at the world. Look at what’s going on. Note that Greece has not only gone belly up and was bailed out, but they have now defaulted and left the EU holding the bag. The EU is also going belly up. We’ve seen the riots in Greece and London. Now they are here.
Oh sure, we think they don’t look so big of a deal on TV from Oakland, but they look exactly the same as they look in any other location.
It’s all coming to a head. The world monetary systems are being collapsed to make room for a brand new world currency. They are getting us accustomed to Martial law and civil unrest in small increments.
You can bet your bottom Dollar that it’s coming very soon. When it does, every single US Dollar will be 100% worthless as well as the Euro, the Yen, the Peso and the Yuan. All currency is going down. The IMF will release an entirely new world currency based on SDR’s. (Special Drawing Rights) Go ahead, look that up.
But the facts are, we’ll be looking at a new world order on our plate and it will have arrived.
All this stuff going on in the Middle East is about getting rid of Islamic Banks. Be my guest: Check them all out! Iraq Central Bank (CBI) Bank de Afghanistan, readjusted to NM Rothschild policies in 2003. A new Libyan Central bank implemented by these so-called Rebels along with an oil company in March 2011.
Wake up folks. The actual problem has been going on behind our backs for 50 years. The end result is upon us. Are you ready for it?
I will go on record right now that within 2 months, we will take out the regime of Syria and then move on to Iran. Maybe it will wait until after the election, but I don’t think so. Every single one of these people running for the Presidency who actually have a chance at getting appointed know about this.
Oh well. Time to recharge my tinfoil hat!
Are Ulsterman and Pat Dollard the Same Person?
Hey I have added you as a friend and I hope you will do the same. I will read your articles and comment on them, I hope you will do the same in return as Triond success is determined by support from fellow writers.
