President Barack Obama said Sunday he believes he would win if he ran for president again and called his last year of the presidency "bittersweet."
"Do you think if you ran again, could run again, and did run again, you would be elected?" asked Steve Kroft on "60 Minutes" Sunday night.
"Yes," replied Obama."You do?" said Kroft."I do," replied the president.
The questions followed on an exchange where Kroft asked Obama if he agreed with First Lady Michelle Obama, who said a few months ago at a fundraiser that she is very pleased he cannot run again.
"Do you feel the same way?" asked Kroft.
"You know, it's interesting ... you go into your last year and I think it's bittersweet," Obama replied. "On the one hand, I am very proud of what we've accomplished and it makes me think, I'd love to do some more."
"But by the time I'm finished, I think it will be time for me to go, because there's a reason why we considered George Washington one of our greatest presidents," said Obama. "He set a precedent, saying that when you occupy this seat, it is an extraordinary privilege."
"But the way our democracy is designed, no one person is indispensable," he continued. "And ultimately you are a citizen. And once you finish with your service, you go back to being a citizen. And I, I think having a fresh set of legs in this seat, I think having a fresh perspective, new personnel and new ideas, and a new conversation with the American people about issues that may be different a year from now than they were when I started eight years ago, I think that's all good for our democracy. I think it's healthy."
These questions concluded an interview that focused almost exclusively on Obama's policy in Syria.
The Devil, you say.
FUBO.
After about the third time he said he could win if he ran again, a poll showed overwhelmingly that he could not win.
Does President Wicked ever tune in to reality.
Oh, no, you POS, take it from me...it's damn well way past time for you to go.
nothing more dangerous than someone with great authority and being delusional about it,
the pukebag ain;t done yet with amnesty on the way
You, I. Wait, what?
Perhaps his confidence comes from, *cough*, “other” sources.
“I’d love to do some more.”
Double-speak for...
“Here comes martial law.”
Well, he said his grandmother lived through two World Wars.
She was born in 1922, BTW.
As F’d up as this country has become I believe the bass turd.

Um, we're a REPUBLIC.
Next! (Please! - as long as it isn't Hillary)
I believe Clinton (the Bill-ious one) said quite the same thing before the end of his presidency.
Why run for anything when you just declare yourself dictator for life?
Obama is not going quietly
Our President has a big fat inflated ego. He sounds like he is in love with himself. The people who believe his words must be very gullible and uninformed or they just simply have been trained to hate Republicans.
