FT. MYERS, Fla. – Three weeks after being sworn in, President Barack Obama acknowledged in plain terms Tuesday that his prospects for winning a second term may depend on the whether he can revive the nation’s plummeting economy.

“I’m not going to make any excuses,” Obama said at a town hall meeting here, in perhaps the most pivotal political state in America. “If stuff hasn’t worked, if people don’t feel like I’ve led the country in the right direction then you’ll have a new president.”


Did a politician just put their political life on the line for the good of the country? Nice!

After the stimulus has sufficiently wrecked the coutnry even further it will be interesting to watch how Obama renegs on that bet.

Kind of like his "pledge" to stick to private funds during the campaign? Or how about his promise to keep lobbyists out of his office? Or his promise not to accept pork in the stimulus package?

Yeah - your president has a stellar track record of keeping his word.
