Obama: "I Think I’m A Pretty Good President. I Think If I Ran Again, I Could Win"
As noted yesterday, during a moment of social network levity in the president's twitter stream, Obama who is currently in Ethiopia as part of his African tour, urged Americans to eat ice cream. Subsequently, he shifted into a more serious diplomatic mode, and during an address to the African Union, whose "leaders" are not well versed in the finest traditions of democracy (no, not accepting legal bribes from lobbies but term limits), he urged African leaders to share power and recognize the value of changes in government. Obama used his own term-limited tenure as an example on Tuesday, making some interesting comments about 2016.
"Now, let me be honest with you," Obama said. "I am in my second term. It has been an extraordinary privilege for me to serve as the President of the United States. I cannot imagine a greater honor or a more interesting job. I love my work. But under our Constitution, I cannot run again."
The crowd cheered appreciatively.
He then added: "I actually think I’m a pretty good president. I think if I ran, I could win. But I can’t. So there’s a lot that I’d like to do to keep America moving, but the law is the law."

"I actually think I'm a pretty good president - I think if I ran, I could win. But I can't.
"And that's a good thing, Obama said, because "I know someone with fresh blood, new insights will be good for my country."
As for himself, Obama told the African leaders he can still serve his country after leaving office, as well as see his family more often and travel without such a large security entourage.
"I'm looking forward to life after being president," Obama said.
He is probably not alone.
The speech capped Obama's trip to Kenya and Ethiopia. The president flies back to Washington, and the Courses at Andrews on Tuesday.

Killary better make she picks a good VP because if Saif Ghaddaff is executed she is going to pay.
''we came, we saw (in crosshairs), she died. wild cackle.
Cry, Beloved Country.
To win re-election all that has to happen is for the media to declare him the winner (again). There is no need for the people to actually cast ballots. They are not counted anyway.
narcisistic sociopath
Delusional, unaccomplished, narcissistic dochebag.
What an unfortunate start of a sentence by Obama "Let me be honest" I started smiling ..... . Anything after that is higly suspect and just plain humorous.
The constitution never mattered much before, why now?
He should get all the government officials together and take a little trip to Europe, then turn themselves in to the Hague as the war criminals that they are.
Na.
Fuckbama did his job. The MIC and bankers need a new puppet.
This delusional asswipe thinks he actually "won" the election.
OR...is creating sound bites for click bait
OR...was told TO say that, along with a SHITLOAD of other shit he's spewed from those wormy mulatto lips over these past 8 fucking long God Damned years....
Nevertheless........FUCK YOU OBAMA!
With Diebold voting machines, anything is possible. So in that sense he is correct.
Further evidence of this man's burgeoning narcissism...

"If you like your opinions of your record as POTUS you can keep them."
completely deluded ...
He can't run again, but he can cause an emergency then suspend elections indefinitely. After all, who would stop him?
Dreams from my Father - Sociopath's Edition.
Forward by Frank Marshall Davis
The only reason he's in for a second term is because our elections are rigged. I really think he believes his own BS. He's completely delusional.
ZH just ruined my entire day by seeing this article. Not because ZH reported it, but because Obama is such a jerk and ZH proved it again!
Let's examine Obama's accomplishments:
- Under Obama: Iraq collapsed into a failed state and is teetering on being split between Iran and (IS?)...
- Under Obama: Syria collapsed and is now largely in the IS control...
- Under Obama: Iran is now free to do whatever it likes...
- Under Obama: Islamic State Caliphate was created and is growing...
- Under Obama: Libya collapsed and is now threat to become another IS expansion zone...
- Under Obama: Taliban has bounced back and is growing and Afghanistan is teethering into the abys again..
- Under Obama: The US government created more debt than all of the previous history of Presidents before him...
- Under Obama: The US government deficit is at record highs...
- Under Obama: Obamacare is made health care worse in the US....
- Under Obama: Islamic terrorism has now encroached the US....
- Under Obama: The first Municiple Bankruptcy...Detroit....
- Under Obama: The middle class has shrunk for the first in its history...
- Under Obama: The world has lost faith in the US, just ask Israel...
I am sure there are many other things, I welcome other contributions.
OBAMA YOU ARE AN IMBECILE, AND WITH OUT DOUBT HISTORY WILL RECORD YOU AS THE FIRST IDIOT PRESIDENT OF THE MODERN WORLD.
And yes he would be elected again, all because, there are a lot of ignorant idiots in the US who like getting free money!
Dear Obama, breaking news, you're a horrible POS, lying, narcissistic, America destroying, Constitution shredding, law breaking, asshole of a president.
I prefer, as Major Hochstetter would say if Obama was around, "Vat ist dis mann do'in heir!".
Or Obama as Schulz, "I know nothing, nothing!"
I don't think anybody knows Hogan's Heroes, C. Klink!
But wait, there's more. He also said ......
“Certainly, presidential debates deserve better. In 18 months, I’m turning over the keys — I want to make sure I’m turning over the keys to somebody who is serious about the serious problems the country faces and the world faces.”
Okay, now laugh.
" will be good for my country." Kenya?
Speaking of the law....Corzine 2016!
He could pull a Jenner -
Have his junk removed - put on a dress - change name to Leshaniqua Sharqueffa Obama and run as a woman.
He's right. He could run again and win. The dumb fuck zombies/sheeple in America would vote for him just because they recognize the name.
"...to keep America moving," as in a turd swirling down the toilet bowl.
This guy is a first ballot shoe-in for the Sociopath Hall of Fame. What a putz.
A white man is facing trial for throwing a banana peel on a stage while a black person was performing. Careful.
That fucked up terrorist puppet putty pusher Obummer wants all the bananas, A peel will not be enough, the racist thing would only serve this douches interests.
there should be a crescent behind his mug shot,,, america,, glad i knew ya,,,,,,,, watched a video of an 18 year old who was shot Sunday in Chicago breathe his last breath and die on a sidewalk like a dog while a homeowner handed a cop a purple blanket to cover the body til the ambulance showed up. America, I'm glad I knew ya. Had a "bisexual" Eagle Scout age 23 excited about being able to be a scout leader and how exciting it is that everyone is equal now. No ,, he is just a cocksucker. You want him helping your son set up a pup tent in the woods? I don't. America, glad I knew ya. I had a potential customer ask me to leave thier house because I said that if someones first act in arriving in America was breaking the law to cross the border to get here then they are criminals and have no respect for our country. America, glad I knew ya.
Look around people. No, really look around. Self magazine at the check out line. Brucelynn Jenner a hero and courageous? Look around. You think he said if I ran again I could probably win was said by accident? Look around. Nothing he says or does is by accident. America, glad I knew ya. I am not sure what is coming but just lookaround at what we have become. It has not happened by accident either. It is not paranoia if someone is really watching. Look around and wake up.
Is Obama a "good President"?
Does the Pope shit in the woods?
Are bears Catholic?
Is Bruce/Caitlyn Jenner someone you'd trust to babysit your kids?
What a douchbag. Someone please put motor's on his ears and fly his ass into the cesspool he came from to be never heard again.
Fucking criminal!
This country would vote him in a dozen more times. Those same mangy thinkers will give you the next "choice".
Obama: "Now, let me be honest with you..."
DOES NOT COMPUTE
Here comes the dictatorship. All Racists sent to FEMA camps and diversifying the neighborhoods coming to a city or town NEAR YOU!
"We bullshitted some folks."
Well if they keep stuffing the ballot boxes with illegals and welfare recipients he's probably right. God help you Americans take your nation back, but I feel it may be too late.
Just shows you how disconnected Obama is from the "real" world.
And that goes for pretty much every U.S. politician.
Why don't you run over to Somalia you bastard.
Operation Perception Deception is in full swing in the US now..even Obama suffers from what I called "The Sebelius Syndrome"...
http://ducknetweb.blogspot.com/2015/06/operation-perception-deception-into.html
Thank God for term limits! This one is 8 years too long as it is.
How tone deaf and narcissistic is this leach? He actually thinks he's a good president - hmmm.
He is Nixon redux with a continuation of the worst cabinet advisors of GWBush and Clinton, and only the most evil ones.
Perhaps the worst US President, but that's in close competition with GWBush.
Would be great if he stayed in Africa for the next couple of years...
GO FUCK YOUSELF PRESIDENT CVNT
he's more delusional than I though he is. You idiot, you not only destroyed the US middle class, you let loose the fascists in the US.
You play alot of golf, but you aren't a decent stateman or President. You will go down in history as the President that put the final nail into once a great nation. Not all your fault (as previous criminal Presidents already done their bidding such as Bush's, Clinton etc), but you put it on its death row.
Next President will more than likely continue their masters wishes. Don't believe for a sec that the US will get a President for the people. Until the Fed is closed, all bets are off!
Sadly, he's probably right. Most white people I know voted for him solely so they could feel better about themselves.
White people who voted for Obama because of the color of his skin are "self loathing" whites. I will never understand why people cannot be proud of their own skin. Yep Liberalism is a mental disorder.
Who is the organ grinder?
There is no law. UK overturned a Will based on "need".

What a cunt
Incorrect... cunts are useful!
Only if you aren't married to them.
"Now, let me be honest with you,"
LMFAO
Nothing like self praise.
Lol @ the manchurian candidate confusing his golf handicap with his presidency.
Will this Village idiot stay in Africa? or maybe we can swap presidents with Kenya. I loved it when the Kenyan president told Obama that effectively "don't preach to us about the virtues of sodomy" lol
he's confusing his golf handicap with his I.Q.
I'm surprised they are adhering to the twenty second amendment. That has to be the only thing in the entire constitution they haven't shit on.Why? I'm not sure....
He's right though,,, about winning a third term. The gaggle of jokers and clowns on the running list are so corrupt, and so dishonest so perverted,,,that he might actually appear the better choice for the mentally unstable nation.
Mentally unstable nation one might ask. The fact so many participate in these electoral farce's and believe a change for the better can be had through a ballot that's administered by the corrupt government is proof in the pudding.
It'll be fun (sad) in a couple of years to read posts stating how President X is destroying the nation, President X wants our guns, President X doesn't care about America, President X is the war president, President X is corrupt.... ya da ya da ya da. The same old.
Well,,, at least the Pundit's will have a yob.
They don't shit on the 5th either when they need it aka Lois Lerner
who says we're going to have an election?
The most deceitful president in U.S. history ...
Z
He got Ghaddaffi killed and destroyed Libya by arming a bunch of fucking terrorists that SHOULD have been wiped out in Benghazi but Obomber said Ghaddafffi was going to kill his own people.
Pure fucking bullshit.
When someone says ''Let me be honest with you, that means the rest of the time they are lying''
In my view, Obama is more of a puppet than any President since Wilson - who I would argue is perhaps the worst American president of all {just an opinion}.
He merely executes what his masters want.
U.S.A! U.S.A! U.S.A! N.S.A! N.S.A! N.S.A!
A LOBOTOMIZED sea cucumber with Down's Syndrome would make a better president....
LOL
Talk about getting riddled with bullets...
Please BO, "run again", I would love to see the aftermath.
Considering wh0 he would have to run against I can believe it. Sad, ain't it.
I forgot to add, be sure and tell your Senators to vote no on Obama Nomination of Andy Slavitt to run Medicare and CMS as those on Medicare will be "scored" out of benefits in time. This is very scary to see our President living so virtual and when he and Biden started posting selfies, at that point my feelings were, we lost them. Here's a bit more on who has been nominated to run Medicare..the same guy Cuomo caught short paying MDs and patients a few years ago on out of network charges...a bunch of dirty algorithms to increase profit...
http://ducknetweb.blogspot.com/2015/06/cms-chasing-wild-virtual-horses-big.html
When United bought QSSI they moved old Andy over to that subsidiary and gave him instant hero status on doing exchange software, pretty slick move on the part of United as people forgot the Ingenix Inquisitions and there's still a ton of lawsuits out there waiting settlement on their algorithms. As a matter of fact Ingenix is the same company that started the prescription behavioral analytics at Express Scripts. Read this post if you want your hair to stand up on end and the government does nothing about this flawed data process that turns you into an Outlier if you pay cash for prescriptions.
http://ducknetweb.blogspot.com/2015/07/patients-who-pay-cash-when-filling.html
Obama is truly scaring me big time right now with the Perception-Deceptions he's promoting.
look for those of us in ussa, voting is not working..calling your senator to change a major goal of deep state .gov, just like 70-80 were for closing the borders, cali voters in majority large numbers against homosexual abuse of the term marriage..the voters were nullified..to run the worlds empire requires consistant goals and policy (even if never spoken or written in public)..we have NO imput but call your senator if it makes you feel better ..
Is mention of a Jewish background for top government officials the third rail for the media? How much longer can this picture of ethnic domination be concealed from the public? It stretches from currency creation and ownership (the Fed) to dominating leverage on the Supreme Court to most all key financial and regulatory officials in the government to dominating control of major media and America’s key universities. And, now, Obamacare.
And with Obama’s nomination of Andy Slavitt to head Obamacare is not the complete circle of money changers, Congressional corruption and the takeover of a once proud nation by godless socialism at last accomplished?
Slavitt (headed for oligarch status) touches it all, from Goldman Sachs to insider rape of the system. As one example of his ethnic privilege, the government issued special certificates permitting Slavitt to sell 23,711 shares of United Health Group stock and avoid capital gains taxes on the transaction when he reported for work in June 2014 as deputy administrator of the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.
”Slavitt was founder and CEO of HealthAllies, a consumer health care service company focused on serving people who are uninsured or underinsured by contracting affordable care on their behalf nationwide. Prior to that, he was a strategy consultant with McKinsey & Company, and an investment banker with Goldman Sachs.” – HHS.gov
United Health Group was Slavitt’s most recent private sector employer.
The Jews are nation wreckers, an existential threat to western nations and cultures.
As Thomas Lifson wrote in March: Slavitt is the latest example of “how to escape taxation on millions of dollars by entering ‘public service’ regulating the very people who made you rich.
“This stinks to high heaven. How about a congressional investigation?”

I think I just threw up in my own mouth ..... what a filthy piece of shit ...
Do it Barry! Obama 2016!!
(The consitution is written in pencil anyways isn't it? Not like anyone there gives a shit about the gift of democracy when there's a new iPhone out.)
It's just a goddamn piece of paper. Don't let the silly little Constitution slow you down.
proof positive there is a specific genetic pool way on the left side of the bell curve of intelligence.
Obama has never let the constitution get in his way before.
using honesty and relatability as a persuasion tactic seems reasonable to me
President-for-Life Idi Bamma VD-Dada is in the advanced stages of a mind-wrecking disease that relieves him of all responsibility for his words and actions.....
This son of a whore (literally) bragged at how he is good at killing people. Remember that?
He has blood on his hands. Thousands of Libyan people killed by USA backed terrorists. Thousands of Syrian people killled by USA backed terrorists.
Also thousands killed in Eastern Ukraine by USA backed NeoNazis
this is too fucking funny. only yesterday i stated to someone that if huseein could run for a third term he would still win...! too fucking funny.
The South was right!
Of COURSE he would win, HANDILY! And it is all through immigration, LEGAL immigration. That was the plan.
Truly, DIEversity is America's greatest strength!!!

Preface to the First Paperback Edition HTML
How and Why America was changed
This is an excerpt from an email. Subject: THE PITY OF CHRIST. It is an excellent summary of the pure evil now passing for civil government in the United States of America.
"It is telling that Obama once masqueraded as an august moral paragon to define sin as “Being out of alignment with my values.” Thus speaks the sheep in sheep’s clothing. Thus speak men without chests. They are in our legislatures, and universities and corporate headquarters and sometimes sadly in our churches, for offensive to the Good Shepherd is a sheepish shepherd who has no chest on which to hang his pectoral cross. Their fabricated world is like the Ivor Novello song “The Land That Might Have Been” that dreams: “Somewhere there is another land / Different from this world.” In that other land, it is even considered courageous for those without chests to proclaim that men are women and women are men, and that marriage can be turned inside out by the opinion of a Supreme Court judge who lamely thinks that he is a philosopher by the merits of ingenious telepathy from Hell. But because “The Land that Might Have Been” is fantasy and not Heaven, it is devoid of all joy and soaked in perpetual melancholy.
General Patton was thought by some not to have much pity. But he had a chest. When he entered Ohrdruf, the sub-camp of Buchenwald, his reaction to the corpses and crematoria surprised his soldiers. He did not say the lurid scene was “inappropriate” or “unacceptable” or “heartbreaking.” He bent over and vomited. And the medals on his chest rattled. When the people who lived outside the camps protested that they did not know what had been going on, General Eisenhower ordered them to walk through the fetid buildings and look at the corpses. Perhaps there will be a day when remnants of our sheepish generation are dragged through the moral carnage of our land and feel some of the pity that Christ feels for us."
Fr. George W. Rutler is pastor of St. Michael's church in New York City. His latest book is Principalities and Powers: Spiritual Combat 1942-1943 (South Bend, IN: St. Augustine’s Press.)
Self delusion is a wonderful thing, it turns morons into legends in their own minds.
I know I would once again get the Bolshevik vote!
"the law is the law"
..unless its Obamacare that I can choose which parts to go into effect. Or illegal immigrants whom i can choose to arrest or not.
I have a feeling our dictator in chief is setting up to declare himself president for life "edi amin obama". When he says "the law is the law", it means executive order and screw the constitution. I'm sure all the commies will cheer along with the black population because the black man is in charge and the rest of us deserve what we got, it's a payback.
I believe you are right, but I also believe all the nations leaders and puppet-master are giving the illusion of conflict. IOW, Russian and China are on the same Central Banking Cabal page; just look at what the nations work together on, such as the space station and UN troops within the US as I type and many are Russian. Surreal.
So Obama pays lip service to the Constitution ("the law is the law") while simultaneously pushing forward with his condemnation of Snowden?
How can the nation accept a president that doesn't like titties?
what an unremitting cuntacular douche.
The constitution? You trample it every day. Why stop now?
It is important to Obama to be the greatest Negro President in the history of the US.
What better way to do that than to be such an incompetent egomaniac as to preclude the election of another Negro for 10,000 years?
Yes you could win again if they rigged the electronic balloting again.
bet he will stay president
and no
he does not have to be re elected
shall we call it a new type of leader
progessive utopia when hell rules on earth
that's their man
Obama has done good things and bad things - or is that not allowed to be said on this site? There is lots that I wish Obama would have done, and would not have done, but I can also see some of the good that he has done.
He inherited the world's greatest mess from W and Cheney. He came up against the most intransigent, partisan group of republicans of all time. Oppose everything Obama does all of the time, every day; propose nothing concrete in its place. Why did the Republicans take this tactic?
On the whole, Obama's legacy will be positive.
Obama is not the guy who decided that all decisions about American health care should be made by insurance company executives. Why Americans think that is a good model for health care is beyond me.
Obama is not the guy who started two illegal wars and a program of torture and kidnappings and secret renditions and black sites and jails with no legal rights of any sort - talk about cancelling the constitution!
Obama is not the President who was on vacation when 9/11 happened and ignored the briefing reports in advance.
Obama is not the President who was in charge when the financial crisis of 2008 happened.
Obama was not the guy who decided that Guantanamo prisoners could not be prisoned on US soil.
The only test for a politician is who among the opponents would have been better; not whether the guy was perfect.
Anyway, his mandate is nearly over; time to move along people and find someone new to hate.
Why not run Michael for president and have Barak put on the dress to be the tranny queen? Americans need more queer rights!
"Now, let me be honest with you,..."
"I actually think I’m..."
I'm reading a book right now about dececting deception. These would be called Bolstering Statements. Not by themselves a deception indicator, but my alert level would go up if it was someone other than Obama. We all know Obama's a liar already.
"Now, let me be honest with you,..."
sounds like a choice line stolen from Hillary
In 2009, he said it felt good to be king and now this; do you think we will make it through the next Presidential election? I do NOT and I believe the circus already going on within the "candidates" is nothing more than a distraction.

Martial Law will be enacted and the nation & its people will suffer greatly for we are a very immoral people from heaven's perspective.

This is spiritual warfare, not carnal and we have already gone the point of no return, but their is One hope and to each individual that hope is offered. Don't believe it is spiritual; to whom do you speak the most? Answer: the voice inside your head often called your conscience which is carnal or spiritual?
Jimmie Carter is dancing a jig. Finally, he's not the worst President in US history.
Nah, too easy.
So no comment here.
I dislike people that say "let me be honest" because it implies that they are regularly lying. Under Obama the US constitution has been shreddered and the violations of international law have become a daily practise. America is not America any longer. America is acting unlawfully and is applying double standards. When I was young America was wonderful. These days are long gone. Hope never dies. Let us hope that the American people will stand up and change the country to the better. It will take a huge effort from the brightest intellectuals to the lowest worker to induce change - real change and not the bullshit Obama was talking about.
Little Tin Horn Bathhouse Barry the cake boy is not planning to leave in 2016. Book it. Some crisis will come about that we can't possibly have an election and he must stay. Watch and see
He's a legend in his own mind.
well maybe if you run against Michael, you will definitely win, how do such scumbags get away with such crap
the audecity of this turd just amazes me
I think they should Dresden Washington, its a good place to start.
He's been a fucking shit president in a very long line of shit presidents. I didn't vote for Bush, or Obama. Two of the worst fucking presidents to disgrace the office.
Obama has earned and well deserves a third term...
(to be served in prison)
Swan song
I just want to see some bankers and politicians rotting in prison doing real time.
