We have all heard the phrase:
"Doing the same thing over, and over, and expecting different results, is insanity....."I think its fair to say Obama's statements in this article/interview meet that threshold.
The man has no political reason, other than self, to utter such a statement he could win a third term.
He has nothing to gain, only to further establish the man has some serious illusions about reality....

If you know this lady, Mara Liasson, she is as about as blue as any democrat can be, and represents much of the left on her job at NPR.
Today she gives a list re: democrats, what they need to do.
Her first cause is to "state the facts" of Obama, so they can begin to except reality.....read,
REALITY....not what a poor delusional man who fancy himself something he wasn't.....ever.
Arg, but to be honest, I have shared I bought that "wrapping" of this package, when it first offered, my bad, I admit to being fooled with "hope"
I share the blame in buying into the "pitch" that a white dude can show he is NOT a racist, etc, by voting for this "marketing of a Black man" with "hope and change" equaling nirvana.
That the charge of racism will no longer be used as a political wedge, harmony resulting from his electing, and nirvana available to all...
YES.....I was naive
AND
Stupid
Anyway, here is just part of the very first thing, #1, the party needs to grasp:
1. Be clear about how bad things are — and are not — for the Democratic Party
Democrats are clear-eyed about the size of the hole they're in. It's deep. Every president loses seats for his party, but no president in U.S. history has presided over bigger losses than Barack Obama. In the eight years he's been in office, Democrats have lost so many seats at every level of government that they now have fewer elected officials nationwide than at any time since the 1920s.
Not only are they in the minority in every branch of government in Washington, but beyond the beltway Democrats have a "trifecta" — control of both state houses and the governor's mansion — in only 6 states. Republicans have total control of state government in 25 states.Seems just this statement of truth vested REALITY.....
Shows how sick Obama really is.
Somehow, I feel as if I have blood on my hands.....
I used a sick man as a tool to satisfy something I wanted in my own life
Anyway, here is more of what she reports:
http://www.npr.org/2016/12/26/506073668/4-things-democrats-need-to-do-plus-1-... Me personally, I think politics have changed, for good I hope.
To build upon what worked in the past won't anymore.
The age of
Tweeting, and all the other avenues of communication, have effectively removed one of the pillars that used its power to steer, the political process, the 'media' lost BIG time, and I hope with it, the money that they use to demand,
blackmailing, from candidates....
No laws needed to tighten campaign donations, etc, the"
tweet has just leveled the playing field.....
