Personally, I don't think the Obama ego is capable of facing any such reality were it to become true:
Fmr. Clinton Adviser: 'Very Possible' Obama Will Bow Out of Presidential Race - For Now
In an interview with conservative radio icon Sean Hannity, former President Clinton adviser and campaign manager Dick Morris stated that, after speaking with a Democratic strategist, he thinks it is “very possible” that President Obama might acquiesce to requests from the Democratic leadership in Congress and bow out of the 2012 race, leaving the door open for him to return sometime in the future.
“I asked a top Democratic strategist the other day and he thought that it was possible that, in January, Harry Reid comes to Obama and says, ‘Look you cost us control of the House last year, you’re going to cost us control of the Senate this year. For the good of the party you have to step aside’” said Morris.
“And, then, (Obama) pulls a Lyndon Johnson, he says ‘I’m fighting to solve the recession, and problem is because of partisanship and my re-election people reject everything I say because of partisanship, so I’m going to not run for president and focus my full time attention on solving this recession’ and then go out popular,” Morris added.
The strategy proposed here is an interesting one. With his approval ratings at an all time low, Obama is looking at a very high likelihood of a defeat in the 2012 elections and forecasters, using the examples of the 2011 special elections in New York City and Nevada, have forecast a very high probability of losses across the nation for the Democratic Party because of Obama.
A withdrawal by President Obama, with a statement that the reason he’s bowing out is to solve the recession, would likely allow the Democratic Party to recover some of its popularity and allow the president to present himself as rising above the partisan fights in Congress with a higher goal in mind. This would help the Democrats to better portray the Republicans, and especially the Tea Party, as the stubborn, non-compromising party uninterested in truly solving the nation’s problems.
Morris added that he thinks that this strategy could also set up Obama for a presidential run in a later election.
“The twenty second amendment does not preclude non-consecutive terms, he is young, (he could) preserve himself as a possible candidate down the road” said Morris. “We’ve seen how Bill Clinton is much more popular now then he was when he was leaving office, same with Jimmy Carter.”
Intriguing as that possibility is, however, non-consecutive presidential terms have only happened once before in American politics, though they have been attempted by a few former presidents. The only president to successfully serve non-consecutive terms was Democrat Grover Cleveland who won election in 1884, lost in 1888, and won in 1892.

Dick Morris: Dumbest Pundit in America
February 7, 2007: "Right now, neither Rudy nor Hillary has a front-runner’s lock, but they are clearly the man and woman to beat in their respective parties. If they hold their leads through Labor Day, my bet is that it will be all over."
January 23, 2008: "The more President Clinton begs black voters to back his wife, and the more they spurn her, the more the election becomes about race — and Obama ultimately loses."
August 26, 2008: "Now, when Hillary spends all of Tuesday night showing what a grievous omission leaving her off the ticket really was, the electoral consequences for Obama are likely to be horrific."
September 2, 2008: "Sarah Palin’s selection will end up as a big win for John McCain."
September 16, 2008: "McCain has opened up a decisive lead over Obama, actually using the Democrat’s articulateness against him."
October 28, 2008: "As Obama has oscillated, moving somewhat above or somewhat below 50 percent in all the October polls, his election likely hangs in the balance. If he falls short of 50 percent in these circumstances, a majority of the voters can be said to have rejected him. Likely a disproportionate number of the undecideds will vote for McCain."
April 25, 2011: "Trump will run as a Republican with a damn good chance of winning the nomination...My bet is [Mike Huckabee] runs and that he’s got a great chance to be the nominee….and the next president."

Holy shit. Is that all true and "verified?" If so, that idiot makes vettetard look like Nostradamus.

OMG. Some guys are just too stupid to be.
Is this the same Dick Morris who let a prostitute listen on the line while he talked to Bill Clinton?
His post revealed why he is trolling you. It seems he thinks you were going to meet him. Guess you wised up and decided not to, but it seems you hurt his feelings so.... very sad for him

Hahahahahahaha.

He even continues..... It seems that the only possible reason you would decide not to meet him is because you have a penis. I guess there is no way it could have anything to do with him being a ragging douche bag. But now he trolls me, thinking I am you, all because you broke his little heart.
But even funnier, is I posted a picture of my chest in another thread and he was the first one to open and comment. So maybe thinking you have a penis is a turn on for him?
The little drug dealer is personna non grata in the eyes of thinking people everywhere.![]()
Yeah, he definitely underestimated that shit, and has been relegated to jacking off to her posts.![]()
He was the darling of the left when he engineered the Clinton victory.
