Obama: I could have won a third term
Fox News ^

Posted on 12/26/2016 3:48:33 PM PST by Stopthethreat

President Barack Obama still believes in the message of “hope and change” he campaigned on in 2008 — so much so that he believes it could have delivered him a third term over Donald Trump had the Constitution allowed him to run again.

It not whether he was a good, bad or offensive president, he would have won. I don’t disagree with him. However he is just unemployed and unemployable today. His success was in expanding the muslim base throughout the world.

Obozo could run for president of his birthplace, Kenya.
Or the country he is an actual citizen of, Indonesia.

Mr. Obama also said, on network TV, that he believes that Donald Trump won’t be president. Does he have lottery picks for us too?

I could have been an astronaut.
I could have been a nuclear scientist.
I could have been a rocket scientist.
I could have been a pro baseball player.

If I repeat it long enough it may come true.

He might have. He certainly had a better chance of winning than Clinton did. And would have run a better campaign.

Was he standing in front of a mirror naked, touching himself inappropiatly, as he blathered about himself?

“FDR would have kept the two term tradition if it wasn’t for World War II.”

I am not sure how much weight I would put on this declaration. We weren’t in WW II in November 1940. It was over 13 months until we entered the war. We could have won the war without FDR. He wasn’t indispensable.

Don’t sell him short yet.

On Jan 20 he’ll make a speech from the concert in DC bragging there’s more people there than at Inauguration, and he’ll some to the conclusion, desperately, that he’s still relevant.

Pray for America that, indeed, he’ll find something else to do far away from politics.

Not so sure about that. Did Hillary win any states where he campaigned for her? I don't think she did. Obama runs good against people who don't hit back, and don't point out his faults for fear of what the media will say about them, Trump figured out early it didn't matter what he said the press was going to rip him a new one, so he let it all hang out. Recall confronting Bill with his victims, that was always available, Trump did it and it worked. No telling what he would have did to Obama, Lord knows there is enough there.

I dunno, maybe he could've.

Obama was reelected in 2012 solely on cult of personality, not because of his policies. Actually, he won despite his policies.

Are there still enough voters under the sway of his cult of personality to vote him in again? If you add Obama-worshippers to Hillary's numbers from the last election, I think it's possible.

So we had Reagan, Bush, Eisenhower. Maybe even Clinton. Did any of them ever go on about how they “could have” won a third term? Because Earth to Obama YOU COULDN’T because of that little thing the Constitution.

To put it polity, Barky is the South End of a Donkey going North...anything to try and sooth his hurt feelings because he was out trying to get his third term and the idiot he chose lost...

He's a two year old crying because he didn't get his own way...he is over, gone, and done with...what the media, talking heads and pundits try to say about him, other than he sure makes Former President James Carter look mighty good is all lies and garbage, and Barky belongs in the garbage to be refined into fish food...
