Can we use this term for a Mr. or Mrs. President in charge who will not be reelected ?

A lame duck president is one who cannot be re-elected, has seen his or her final mid-term election and is losing (or has lost) political credibility. Using that definition, Bush is a lame duck president.

Lame duck (politics), an elected official who has lost a re-election or who did not seek re-election, but continues to hold office in between the time of the election and the time of the inauguration of the successor.
Your point? He's already been elected twice, two terms is all they're allowed by law.
While I'm here, let me ask this. When will people start to realize that producing actual facts gains you far more credibility in the public arena than name calling? If you disagree with someone then state why, spark a healthy debate instead of resorting to snide comments.

Yeah; as soon as he was elected for his second term he technically became a lame duck president. He's even more so now, because he's facing a congress that is controlled by the other party.

He has scared off 0.5 of u.s. together with his determination because of the fact the fairway czar. i will never have confidence Obama or maybe provide him the earnings of the doubt. there is not any way that became an accident. The FBI is meant to vet those human beings. in case you could google the information on Van Jones your self, how probably is it that the reality he's a communist became unknown?

Yes, but the fact that he's so lame-brained is what worries me the most.
