WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Barack Obama said Wednesday that he'll be re-elected for a second term if voters feel like he's been on their side, working as hard as he can and getting things done.
"If they don't," the president said, "then I'll lose."
The blunt political assessment from Obama cast next year's presidential contest as a referendum on his leadership rather than a choice between him and whoever his GOP opponent will be.
"That's not to say that the other candidate is irrelevant," Obama said, "but it does mean that I'm probably going to win or lose depending on their assessment of my stewardship."
The president made his comments in an interview with KMBC-TV in Kansas City, Mo. He was responding to a question about who in the Republican field could beat him, but Obama declined to speculate, saying he was too occupied to be spending a lot of time worrying about the GOP hopefuls.

Thank you.
I got ya assessment right here OBummer.
The above said in a *Jersey Wiseguy* accent.
Hey Barky, the polls say a half-eaten ham sandwhich would beat you.
Just sayin.
Obama’s campaign 2012—
my agenda
I passed universal health prexisting conditions ...unprecedented.
I will work to strengthen this law (i.e. fix the Medicaid glitches,
perhaps give in and repeal the CLASS long term part,) We in a bipartisan
way already fixed part of Obamacare. (the 1099 IRS rule — why did
the REpublicans do this????!!)
We need shared sacrifice.
we need to make sure that corporate jet owners pay
that big oil pays its way.
We will offer Medicare means testing.
Vote for me Barack Obama.
I’m on your side and those nasty mean Republicans suck.
VOte for me.
I won’t raise taxes over 250,000.
But I am damn sure gonna fight for tax increases on anyone
making a decent middle class living $200,000.
There. That’s it.
Oh yeah. I forgot. Free birth control for everyone.
Free preventative care. Free obesity screenings,.
Michelle is going to go forward with another $4B in obesity programs.
We will start an Obamacare Americorps program. So that we can
inform people to sign up for their Obamacare subsidies!
Oh... what? WHat;s that David Axelrod? David Ploffe? Tell them how
I will reduce the 9.2% unemployment rate? what i will do when
the debt ceiling is over 16 trillion.
DOES NOT COMPUTE

SMOKE pours out of Obama’s ears.
Was a hoax, nully. I’m sorry.
If leadership is the criteria he should quit immediatly and not wait for his election defeat!
.
Hoax, or not. It was an accurate portrayal of the usurper.
I'm sure that being a community organizer in Chicago really honed his skills of graft and corruption.
I am suspicious, very suspicious as well. We are going to get a crash course in Third World elections.
Yeah. That ship sailed before he ever found the boarding ladder. I'd plan on an early retirement if I were him!!
Good bye whoever you are.
Please slink off into retirement while our new President Restores American and world order again.
Maybe we can get Mubarak out of his coma....
You fixed it - as he will try to fix it. Mr. Fix-it Bill Daley is now his chief of staff. Remember when he went down to Florida to ensure the integrity of that election? Priceless.
On my side? Obama isn’t even on America’s side.
"America, I'm feeling much better now."
Oh Yeah. Chad is a Third World country and all the rest. Donna Brazille suggesting that the United Nations should oversee the elections. Yes indeed.
Don't ya appreciate that 160 IQ!
One problem, post 3 was removed .
There is absolutely nothing about the man I appreciate. Nothing.
