No
of course he will and it will just make him unargueably the best president ever
Well no. Bush isn't staying; if they weren't kicking him out of the casino, he wouldn't be putting all chips in on this stupid bail-out deal, as well as pissing off Pakistan by trying to get lucky and kill Osama Bin Laden by violating the territorial integrity of an allied nation.
On the other hand, I want to point out... Rudi Guiliani had a similar idea 8 years ago. There was this crisis in NYC called THE ATTACK ON THE WORLD TRADE CENTER. Tens of city blocks were destroyed and/or coverred with ash and debris. 2000+ people ceased to be umployed in the financial district BECAUSE THEY WERE BLOWN UP. When Guiliani went foward to inquire about a waiver of the term limits, the answer by the counsel was, sorry not thanks, you cleaned up the sticking, festering pile of shit that Mr. Dinkins and Mr. Koch left us, and we think your great, but rules are rules. I will be really surprised if they let Bloomberg stay on another term.
And McCain can win if people turn on their brains and start listening to what these guys are actually saying.
Obama just makes no sense the more you listen to him... he is the guy who answers every question with what he things people want to hear, even if the answers are fundamentally incompatible with each other.
There is one presidential candidate who will go charging around Afganistan and Pakistan in an ill-conceived Bush-like manner thinking he is fighting a "smarter" war than everyone else. It's not John McCain.
There is one candidate who believes in the efficiency of the free market. It's not Barack O'Bama.
There is one candidate who respects the idea of minority rights in a democracy. It's not Barack O'Bama.
But Americans won't beleive these things unless the sheep start bleating them. That's how we got stuck with 4 more years of Bush. That's how we'll get stuck with 4 years of O'Bama.
