Obama: ‘If I ran again, I could win’
Published July 28, 2015


President Obama is feeling good about his chances at re-election -- if he could run again.

The president went off-script Tuesday during his address before the African Union, as he talked about the importance of term limits.

After citing the example of the U.S. presidency, he quipped: "I actually think I'm a pretty good president. I believe if I ran again, I could win."

"But I can't," he added.

Obama later said, "I don't understand why people want to stay so long, especially when they've got a lot of money."

The speech in Ethiopia marked the end of Obama's five-day visit to Africa that included an earlier stop in Kenya, homeland of his late father.

While touting Africa's potential, he used much of the speech to press for reforms throughout the continent. Obama called on Africa's leaders to make their countries more attractive to foreign investment by cleaning up corruption, upholding democratic freedoms, supporting human rights, and willingly and peacefully leaving office when their terms expire.

His remarks on term limits referred to Burundi's leader, who was just elected to a controversial third term although he is constitutionally limited to two. The announcement that President Pierre Nkurunziza was seeking a third term sparked days of unrest across the country.

"There's still so much I want to get done to keep America moving forward. But the law is the law and no one is above it, not even presidents," Obama said. "And, frankly, I'm looking forward to life after being president. It will mean more time with my family, new ways to serve, and more visits to Africa."

He called on the AU to use its authority to help make sure African leaders stick to their term limits and follow their constitutions. "No one should be president for life," said Obama, who leaves office in January 2017.

Film at 11.... 🤔

as the dependent, entitled and idiotic classes continue to grow im not sure i can disagree with him

Of course he could. He beat McCain & Romney, two relatively stable candidates; no one in the current GOP clown car would stand a chance.

"I actually think I'm a pretty good president. I believe if I ran again, I could win."

It was the first part of his statement that cracked me up..... the whole world hates him but he's kinda vain and stuff... 😟

"...the whole world hates him but he's kinda vain and stuff."


Drafter, that's an opinion that seems to be at odds with the facts.

no way man.... everybody hates him.... 🤐


and he named his dog after himself... 🤐

I would love to see him run ......... outta town on a rail!

catapult would be kinda cool.... 😟

Haters !

Not everyone hates Obama. In fact most people love and respect him for being the greatest president of our time.

And your dogs love him too.

😱 You take that back..!! 😠

Ok, ok. I don't know your dogs.
But they could be just going along with the peer pressure......

If your dogs were Secret Democrats you would still love them wouldn't you?

After serving time for abusing the office.....🍺

= realists

P

Fixed it.....🌫

What make you hate success so much?
None of your own?

Paleeeeeese, by all means, show us those sucksesses
I've had a fairly successful home remodeling business since 92, that right there is MORE than your community organizer ever did....

Stock market recovery,
Obamacare,
Dramatic drop in unemployment,
Osama bin Laden is dead........

I know that FoxNews is the only reception one gets under a rock, but you should get out more.

Stock market WILL collapse AGAIN and it won't be pretty...
Obamacare will be a blight to the entire nation, it's Unsupportable as it stands
Manipulating the numbers....as per usual ( not that he's alone in that little trick )
We NEVER got proof....that's why it's customary and necessary to hold an open casket funeral, even for that Mongral

I know CNN and MSNBC say what you want to believe rather than the truth

1. Stock market recovery. Direct result of falling oil prices which was a result of the chitty economy.
2. Ubumma care. Will be repealed, its a complete joke.
3. Dramatic drop in unemployment. When people stop looking for work they're no longer counted as unemployed.
4. Osama bin Laden dead. He was hiding under a rock and would have died soon enough anyway. Symbolic at best.
5. First black president. Also a lie. "Slick Willie" was the first.

Ubumma HAS accomplished ONE thing though, we're more devided now than at any time since the civil war. It'll take another hundred years to undo the damage he's done!
