Obama: If I ran again, 'I could win'
Business Insider ^ | 07/28/2015 | JULIE PACE, ASSOCIATED PRESS

Could US President Barack Obama win a third term in office? He's convinced that he could, but he would really rather not.

Obama used his own history of electoral success to rib African leaders who overstay their welcomes by refusing to leave office after their terms expire. In his speech Tuesday at the African Union headquarters, he conceded unfamiliarity with that concept because as a second-term US president, he is constitutionally barred from running again.

"I actually think I'm a pretty good president," Obama said. "I think if I ran, I could win. But I can't!"

That's just fine with the president. Obama said he was looking forward to leaving behind the trappings of office, including his presidential security detail, and having more flexibility to do things such as travel to Africa after he leaves the White House. He said that while he was still relatively young, he thought a new president with new insights w0uld be good for the US.

Sad to say, he’s more than likely correct on this one. “He’s just so dreamy.” Clean, articulate with nary a hint of negro accent. And this from one of his party buds.

I really don’t doubt that he’d win again, given a couple of things -

that the media/GOPe picked the candidate to run against him like they did in 2008/2012,

and vote fraud runs at the same rate or better than in those two cycles.

He would win.

Which is a measure of the American voter.

RE: Probably could.

What interests me is this — will this rub off on Hillary?

Yep, this country has become that stupid to elect him for a 3rd disastrous term.

He would win, because the fraud machine has not been dismantled.

“I actually think I’m a pretty good president,” Obama said. …
So do the Mullahs. After all, you gave them the means to turn the world into a smoking cinder.

he is constitutionally barred from running again.

Is that the same Constitution which barred the usurper from holding the office of president the first two times?

How true. Never mind the “never-vet-Obama” machine. They’ll all have to pay in the Judgment though.

I can see one of his butt buddies saying that.

Obama is not a human being. He was dropped off by Satan to do his dirty deeds.
