Steve Chapman has some advice for Barack Obama: Call it a day.

The vultures are starting to circle. Former White House spokesman Bill Burton said that unless Obama can rally the Democratic base, which is disillusioned with him, "it's going to be impossible for the president to win." Democratic consultant James Carville had one word of advice for Obama: "Panic."

But there is good news for the president. I checked the Constitution, and he is under no compulsion to run for re-election. He can scrap the campaign, bag the fundraising calls and never watch another Republican debate as long as he's willing to vacate the premises by Jan. 20, 2013.

What? And the let oceans continue to advance? Our planet relapse into sickness. Hope wither? Change die?

Nay, Mr. Chapman, our president knows how needed he is to battle the forces of evil. Despite, the many mistakes and failures of his administration, his vanity remains constant and indefatigable. What would America, what would the planet, do without him?
