As if there were no deficits! How did the other newspapers miss this?? [James Joyner]

Politico Follow-up Exclusive: Water secretly wet.

populucious February 24, 2010 at 4:19 pm

If this news doesn’t convince you of Barack Obama’s evil Socialist Communist Facist Agenda by God what will? WHAT WILL?

comicbookguy February 24, 2010 at 4:22 pm

Imagine the arrogance! Did he learn nothing from Scott Brown (TP)?

SayItWithWookies February 24, 2010 at 4:23 pm

And I’ll bet if he succeeds, he’ll take over the government!

Bearbloke February 24, 2010 at 4:26 pm

The uppity arrogance of it all! As if Real American will consider having a Hawaiian negro as President…

JMP February 24, 2010 at 4:26 pm

According to the Politico, “the sources said Obama has given every sign of planning to run again”. Yep, unlike all those other presidents who decided not to run for reelection. Next, they’ll uncover the rumor that the Earth will be making a complete orbit around the sun over the next 365 days.

WE CANT AFORD ALLECTIONS THEY’RE’S NO “MONEY”!!! NO SOCIELEST!!!!!!!!!!!!

megs February 24, 2010 at 4:32 pm

OR MABYE YOU DONT READ “ALL OF NEWSPAPERS + MAGIZINES” LIKE SARAH??????????????? NOBONGO!

Come here a minute February 24, 2010 at 4:33 pm

How PRESUMPTUOUS!!!1! I am disappointed that this well-spoken, uppity fellow has only served one year in his current office and already thinks he has the experience to run for President of the U.S. of A.!

obfuscator February 24, 2010 at 4:33 pm

JEEEZUS, THANKS FOR THE “SPOILERS AHEAD” WARNING, POLITICOS.

steverino247 February 24, 2010 at 4:34 pm

But will he show us his birf certificate this time across the country?

Imagine what the Obama Administration has already done to cause e-mail inboxes to overflow with spam and racist BS about how BHO is going to rape your granny and take away your guns. How could we let that go away?

AnnieGetYourFun February 24, 2010 at 4:34 pm

This news has LITERALLY shattered my world. LITERALLY.

comicbookguy February 24, 2010 at 4:35 pm

Keep your government hands off our White House!

Decker February 24, 2010 at 4:37 pm

They forgot to add ACORN to their tags.

Lucidamente February 24, 2010 at 4:39 pm

Now that Cheney’s in the hospital, the crack Politico research – stenography staff has to turn its attention elsewhere (“plots” – Dick’ll love that).

Mike Allen: keeping the duh in discovery since 2007.

qwerty42 February 24, 2010 at 4:39 pm

I dunno … I think they may be going out on a limb here …

WadISay February 24, 2010 at 4:39 pm

The real news is that Obama’s plan consists of getting Boehner, McConnell and Kantor to vote for him.

Downtheroadapiece February 24, 2010 at 4:39 pm

The TEMERITY! The unmitigated GALL! How DARE he! Well let’s see if he gets us to vote for him again with such effrontery. Pfht. Politicians. Go figure.

Lucidamente February 24, 2010 at 4:40 pm

TOP ADMINISTRATION OFFICIALS SECRETLY PLOTTING TO SEIZE GOVERNMENT IN 2013

BlueStateLiberal February 24, 2010 at 4:42 pm

Hopefully this will explode the heads of the last remaining teabaggers.

nappyduggs February 24, 2010 at 4:44 pm

The cagey summummabitch also secretly plans to strategically apply shoe polish to his person so as to go FULL NEGRO and implement “Operation Payback is a Muthafucka.”

Extemporanus February 24, 2010 at 4:46 pm

“Privately Plots 2012 Campaign Run”?!

RHAM EMMANEUL SOLED OUT TEH PUBLIC OPTION!! FIRE RAHM IMANUELL!!1

Mad Brahms February 24, 2010 at 4:46 pm

Now he needs to remove some records from the national archives, before they start demanding his original Inauguration Certificate.

Bearbloke February 24, 2010 at 4:47 pm

[re=519244]steverino247[/re]: I think new RNC chariman Louis Winthorpe III best voices this pervasive fear of Real ‘Merkins…

PlanetWingnuta February 24, 2010 at 4:47 pm

oh noez ! oh noez…that uppity negro hit my head with re-election possiblities.

Lionel Hutz Esq. February 24, 2010 at 4:48 pm

rediculous. Like America would ever elect a Socialist-Kenyan-Muslin-Negro to be President. Dick Cheney would surely sacrifice at least six of his hearts to prevent such a thing.

Lucidamente February 24, 2010 at 4:48 pm

@nappyduggs: but it won’t work cuz in 2012 everybody knows you gotta go full retard.

Naked Bunny with a Whip February 24, 2010 at 4:53 pm

I don’t know how much planning it takes to run on an “Ignore Everything I Did in My First Term, I’ll Do All Those Things I promised in My Second Term” platform.

Redhead February 24, 2010 at 4:57 pm

It’s all a secret plot – Politico is just baiting all the librul bloggers (and Rachel Maddow) into calling him a retard. Then Sarah Palin can adopt him and add him to her brood of retard babies, Angelina-style, while at the same time having a screaming hissy fit at all those bloggers (and Rachel Maddow).

bfstevie February 24, 2010 at 5:03 pm

I’m okay with him running, as long as he includes welding and midgets.

Pithaughn February 24, 2010 at 5:04 pm

It looks to me like they should check up on Mitt’s, he sure looks like a presidential candidate, also there, in REEL Merica.

bfstevie February 24, 2010 at 5:04 pm

[re=519251]Lucidamente[/re]: Sadly, Dick Cheney didn’t plotz. The sent him home.

Sen. Schlong February 24, 2010 at 5:04 pm

Ever notice how white folks plan or prepare to run for office, but a black guy “plots” his campaign like he is going to sneak into your house in the middle of the night and steal the election and your big screen TV.

germansteel February 24, 2010 at 5:09 pm

They’ve been able to keep this a secret all this time because they’ve been using Negro dialect when they talk to each other about it.

JMP February 24, 2010 at 5:19 pm

[re=519285]Sen. Schlong[/re]: The right wing media (and the Politico is certainly part of that) has gotten good at using language that suggests wrongdoing for completely normal things. Hell, the other day LGM linked to a column titled “Holder admits nine Obama Dept. of Justice officials worked for terrorist detainees;” the whole thing just seemed to assume that there’s somehow something wrong with lawyers working as defense attorneys and doing their jobs. It’s insane.

http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/blogs/beltway-confidential/Holder-admits-nine-Obama-Dept-of-Justice-officials-worked-for-terrorist-detainees-offers-no-details-84799487.html#ixzz0gUk4klAv

GOPCrusher February 24, 2010 at 5:20 pm

Maybe he’ll fulfill his campaign promise of having his brownshirt ACORN thugs round up all the Republiklans to be placed in the FEMA built concentration camps.

Urbanachiever February 24, 2010 at 5:34 pm

[re=519268]Bearbloke[/re]: FTW! I always knew that “Trading Places” worked on many levels, but this just proves it.

EdFlinstone February 24, 2010 at 5:38 pm

In future politico reports Obama wont appear at campaign stops he’ll do “drivebys.”

comicbookguy February 24, 2010 at 5:38 pm

[re=519287]germansteel[/re]: Does anybody here speak jive?

[re=519323]Urbanachiever[/re]: So Randolph and Mortimer intentionally crashed the economy, putting Barry in charge and Walnuts out on the street, to settle a $1 bet? figures.

Snarkalicious February 24, 2010 at 5:41 pm

PUT TEH METENGS ON CSPAN OR IMPEECH!!! WARE IUS TRANSPARANTSY< NOBAMA?!!!!1!!!!1

Troubledog February 24, 2010 at 5:46 pm

Next he’ll want to use the good china. The Royal Daulton with the hand-painted periwinkles.

TubeCity February 24, 2010 at 5:48 pm

But by then, the tea partiers will point out: no new taxes, no gun seizures, no internment camps, no death panels… epic FAIL on his secret agenda.

populucious February 24, 2010 at 5:53 pm

[re=519285]Sen. Schlong[/re]: Huh, so does this explain why other Presidents had midnight “snacks” from the kitchen, but Obama has midnight “looting”?

EdFlinstone February 24, 2010 at 6:03 pm

Oh and that organic vegetable garden Michelle started and the eat healthy program, not what you libtards thinks. Politico’s knows it’s Michelle dealing homegrown to our nation’s children.

steverino247 February 24, 2010 at 7:11 pm

[re=519330]comicbookguy[/re]: And Osama bin Laden destroyed the location where the bet was settled and the Dukes were ruined. So it WAS an inside job with help from the surviving Duke brother (Don “Fuck ‘em” Ameche).

Beef Supreme February 24, 2010 at 7:57 pm

Now I’m confused, I thought the constitution sez he can only serve 3/5ths of a term?

comicbookguy February 24, 2010 at 8:07 pm

[re=519397]Beef Supreme[/re]: No, you’re thinking of Sarah Palin.

unclesahm February 24, 2010 at 8:13 pm

And of course, CNN has “picked up” the story… http://cnn.com/video/?/video/us/2010/02/24/tsr.cafferty.obama.2010.cnn

Wanderlust February 24, 2010 at 8:36 pm

[re=519397]Beef Supreme[/re]: Excellent.

problemwithcaring February 24, 2010 at 8:37 pm

[re=519275]Naked Bunny with a Whip[/re]: These are American attention spans we are talking about here. He only needs the latter half of that strategy.

Decker February 24, 2010 at 9:38 pm

[re=519256]Lucidamente[/re]: Nice catch!

CanadianBacon February 24, 2010 at 10:33 pm

Publicly he talks about bipartisanship yet secretly he plots his re-election. That Chicago style plitics may work in Kenya but not in real America. Does he not realize he will have to debate Sarah a couple of times? The only way he will be remembered as a success is if he were to quit before his term ends.

Mr Blifil February 24, 2010 at 11:00 pm

Whereas I am privately plotting to publicly post my privates.

bago February 24, 2010 at 11:08 pm

Cheney is Krogan. He has hearts to spare.

rottenart February 24, 2010 at 11:21 pm

[re=519397]Beef Supreme[/re]: I see what you did there. And I love it.

rottenart February 24, 2010 at 11:22 pm

Also, too:

WEE WANT R CONSITUSION BACCK!!!!!!!!!

Lionel Hutz Esq. February 25, 2010 at 2:45 am

Can we just give Politico the Win of the Century (Hell, give them Win of the Millennium) and then they can just go away?

S.Luggo February 25, 2010 at 3:55 am

I take it that this is leak originated in Nairobi.
*****
Second term, second birth certificate. Only fair.

[re=519397]Beef Supreme[/re]: Not if one calculates in arabic.

mardam422 February 25, 2010 at 8:46 am

He can’t win without ACORN. How is he going to win without ACORN????
