Power

I can't recall anyone who has "enjoyed" being president more than Barack Obama. I think  more than being president he likes the "power" and the spotlight. Running the country be damned, "this is great." I wonder how many hours of actual running the country type work he has actually put in. I suppose being president is like being the football coach of a major university. The assistants do all the work.

There probably is no more powerful a job in the world as president of the United States, and that would be hard to give up. After that, nowhere to go but down, so of course, he wants to get re-elected, he is desperate to get elected.

But, why did he get elected in the first place? He was not qualified in any respect, to hold the office. What great force was behind him that enabled him to win the election? We don't know. Who pulled all the strings? We don't know. Is there more going on than we know about? We don't know.

I do know, however, if there is some deep dark plot afoot that we are not aware of, he will win again. Just think of all the things he could not do. He could not beat Hillary, he could not win, he could not get his health care bill passed, so many things he could not do, that he did.

So don't assume he can not win this election. He is desperate to hold on to the power of the office.
