"If President Obama is not willing to seize the moral high ground and step aside, then the two Democratic leaders in Congress, Sen. Harry Reid and Rep. Nancy Pelosi, must urge the president not to seek re-election—for the good of the party and most of all for the good of the country. And they must present the only clear alternative—Hillary Clinton."

This is the core of the story in the Wall Street Journal by Patrick Caddell and Douglas E. Schoen. An interesting think piece with reference to historical precedent for a President to step aside for the good of the country and his party if it becomes apparent that he could not effectively govern even if elected.

I thought it fascinating.
