Krauthammer: You forgot Door Number 3, champ

Charles Krauthammer jumps onto Barack Obama’s one-term, two-term choice like a backsliding vegetarian on a filet mignon — but that’s just the appetizer.  Noting that Obama left out a third option in his “I’d rather be a good one-term President than a mediocre two-term President” quip to Diane Sawyer, Krauthammer says that thus far, Obama’s mediocrity would mean not getting that second term:

Krauthammer then goes after Obama’s excuse-making from last week (also on ABC), in which he claimed that his sliding poll numbers came from a lack of explaining himself to the voters.  Obama only had 21 days of his Presidency in 2009 in which he didn’t give a speech, make a public appearance, or offer televised or recorded comments on political issues, and most of those were during his Christmas vacation.

The final minute is a good analysis of where Obama and the Democrats will go on ObamaCare.  They’ve been boxed into a corner, and right now the only sure play is to throw in the towel and try fighting on jobs instead.
