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 about-to-be-citizens weren’t polled.
“The danger to America is not Barack Obama, but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the Presidency. It will be far easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to a depraved electorate willing to have such a man for their president. The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails America. Blaming the prince of the fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince. The Republic can survive a Barack Obama, who is, after all, merely a fool. It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools, such as those who made him their president.”
Actually, given the rapidly increasing pace of destruction, if he is not removed by the end of this year, the next election might not be worth anything at all there not being anything left to govern.
The arrogant DiC and his beard think they own the place
Will this nightmare ever come to an end with this arrogant, godless, socialist little jerkoff?
I have to agree with the Obamanation. The dumbed-down and dependent electorate has jumped the shark. Of course vote fraud also works for B.O.
Soon he can walk amongst the people and glory in their gratitude.
Or maybe assume the fetal position behind his Secret Service protective shield and never be seen again.
A lot of them are at Bernie Sanders’ rallies. A few are at Hillary’s but are usually asleep. Some would vote for him from the grave again, just like 2012.
FUBO!
Of coursed that corrupt thug would “win” again. His people would be counting the ballots, just like they did in 2008 and 2012.

Ah....his favorite subject ...himself.
The media would push Barry back in for a third term.
They can control enough minds to elect Howdy Doodie.
Most people are caught up with entertainment and sports and know very little about current events. Those voters are in the majority. Informed voter are the minority.
As I’ve said before, I’ll be surprised if we get to the next election without the economic time bomb going off. That being said, I’m sure the next QE is probably already in the works.
I am sure there are other “implications” if economic things go boom. OK, tinfoil off.
Good for Obama - he gets to join one of the most exclusive clubs in the world - former United States Presidents...
No one cares, because you can’t, so shut up, you stupid, little Ahole.
Sadly true. 100% of the negro, braindead and gibmedats.
I kind of expect Hussein to try to completely kick the props out from under the economy before the end of his term. I think he means to end the nation with the end of his term of office.
"But the way our democracy is designed, ..."
amazing...
Yes, especially, since the USA is a Republic and not a democracy.
Never underestimate the stupidity of the American voter.
And yet, no one in the media will correct him, or anyone else, who says that.
