President Obama, buffeted by criticism of his massive health care reform bill and election setbacks, said today he remained determined to tackle health care and other big problems despite the political dangers to his presidency.

“I’d rather be a really good one-term president than a mediocre two-term president,” he told ABC’s “World News” anchor Diane Sawyer in an exclusive interview today.

    he left out the most likely and obvious choice, to be a really bad one term president.this showing of contrition and humility by obama and many in the congress and senate is a wasted effort.it’s like catching someone robbing your home, then have him offer to paint the living room.

    Hey, lay off our President. He has almost three years left to change course and make his first term a ‘Really Good’ one. Could happen.

    This is one of Obama’s dumber quotes. History tells us that a president has to be really, really bad not to get a second term. Or, for their own reasons they decide not to run for a second term. So, what the he!! does he mean?

    One term is all he wants and then he wants Jay Leno’s job?
