A Limit to Term Limits?

What’s up with the reaction to Tom Osborne’s notion that one term as governor may be enough for him? I’ve stayed out of this discussion to date, mostly because my wife is a cousin or two removed from Dave Nabity, who is also on the ballot. Disclosure and family tie explanations bore me and take up column inches in print.
Anyway, why, in a state that approved term limits by nearly three to one, would we be upset with a governor who suggests limiting his term before he runs? I have no idea which way I’m voting — even at the risk of eating in the garage at the next reunion — but I find the response to Osborne curious.
