Obama ‘confident’ he would have defeated Trump if he had been allowed to run (http://www.theblaze.com/news/2016/12/26/obama-confident-he-would-have-defeated-trump-if-he-had-been-allowed-to-run/)


President Barack Obama, probably feeling a little puffed up from his high approval ratings and President-elect Donald Trump’s rocky start, is certain he would have won a third term in the White House, had be been permitted to run.

“I am confident in this vision because I’m confident that if I had run again and articulated it, I think I could’ve mobilized a majority of the American people to rally behind it,” he told David Axelrod, his former chief strategist, during an interview on CNN’s “The Axe Files” podcast.

“I know that in conversations that I’ve had with people around the country,” he added, “even some people who disagreed with me, they would say the vision, the direction that you point towards is the right one.”

I don't know, Obama was popular, I doubt he would have made the many mistakes Hillary did.

Just like CO said. Hubris. We cannot be rid of that arrogant asshat quickly enough. He has been the worst obstacle to economic recovery - true systemic non-cronyist recovery - in my lifetime. His every move is geared to knocking down America's standing in the world.

Maybe, but it's a slap in the face of Rodham either way.

Obama says alot of things, hes fishing because he knows hes going to be exposed for what hes really done for 8 yrs and alot of his bs will be rolledback. The democrat party is shackled by the far left and as long as they stay that way they will continue to lose.
No matter what the left says or the left wing media, Obama has left the democrat party in shambles.

Moderate democrats are finding the democrat far left sickening as well as trump supporters.
The best course is to just let them keep raging and whining and making faux excuses why they have gotten their ass kicked since 2009.

I certainly understand. I'm confident that although I'm only 5'9" I could have played in the NBA is I'd wanted to. Even though I never went to medical school, I'm confident I could do heart surgery if they'd give me a scalpel and a patient. And, although I'm not so inclined, I'm sure I could attack America and support her enemies as well as Obama did if I was "given" the chance.

Obama campaigning for CLINTON couldn't muster interest in her. Obama is a neoliberal like Clinton and ANYONE who associated themselves with clinton are NOT looking to be long term in the democratic party...they will be replaced with democratic socialists and liberals.

When you're consumed with hatred for the country that has "given" you everything you feel confident.

I suspect you can understand that, Cigar. Hatred gives people a false sense of power. And, I'd like to remind you that the pitiful twit considers himself one of the three greatest presidents ever. Reality, helloooo.

Obama would have won over anyone on either ticket.

That isn't necessarily an endorsement of President Obama, although I do like him.

It is more a statement of how poor the other offerings were.

and yet, the middle class, which makes up the majority of the electorate, still gives him ratings which match with the republican demigod Reagan. How's that work?

I was not taunting him, I just found the statement worthy of a laugh.The tv tells us he has these high ratings, yet the majority of peoples opinion of him, that I have heard, over the last 8 years is negative. TV ratings are, indeed, a joke.

I wonder why any find polling to be credible any longer.

Gallup has long been well respected polling organization. They are not "TV ratings". I invite you to explore the following website which allows you to compare Gallup's presidential approval ratings for presidents going back to Truman:
