Obama is BS'ing. He's trying to scare his supporters into showing up in Iowa by saying this might be their only chance to get him. What a crock. The guy is only about 40 years old and he knows damn well his chances of winning improve every four years from now on as minority population growth gradually diminishes the white majority. Obama is scared right now. Edwards is probably in the lead and Hillary is edging ahead as well. If Obama finishes in third place he's in trouble. Those Iowa caucus voters have a lot of power right now, huh? Just an extra 500 or so could determine Obama, Hillary and Edwards's futures.

This is a big gaffe. The President lives in Washington and to say that living in Washington for the next 8 years, whether as Senator Obama or President Obama, makes a person a Washington insider beats all logic. This statement from Obama is sounding more Hillaryesque when she went around selling herself as "the inevitable".

This is just very bizarre. For a candidate espousing hope----the comments regarding not running in eight years if not elected this time seem rather hopeless. Obama needs to reframe the idea of what it means to be a Washington insider. Being a Washington insider means being a public servant and leader at the highest level of this government and Democracy. No one said it was easy or that you have to succumb to peering through limousine windows constantly. mj
