WaPo Says Obama Do Not Run for Reelection

It seems the media love affair with Obama is finally over for good according to this.

To that end, we believe Obama should announce immediately that he will not be a candidate for reelection in 2012. 

If the president goes down the reelection road, we are guaranteed two years of political gridlock at a time when we can ill afford it. But by explicitly saying he will be a one-term president, Obama can deliver on his central campaign promise of 2008, draining the poison from our culture of polarization and ending the resentment and division that have eroded our national identity and common purpose. 

What is interesting is if he didn't run it would allow Hillary to go into campaign mode and she would have a very good chance of beating whoever comes out of the GOP. That goes double if the GOP nominates Sarah Palin. Maybe the Washington Post understands a weakened Obama running for reelection might get trounced and take the Senate with him. That would be a full GOP takeover just 4 years after they were supposed to be reduced to a rump party. In any case the media has just thrown Obama under the bus. What a difference 2 years makes.
