A Quote by Barack Obama

This is my last election. After my election, I have more flexibility. — © Barack Obama
This is my last election. After my election, I have more flexibility.
I'm not going to say to Putin that he'll get more flexibility after the election. After the election he'll get more backbone.
Russia does continue to battle us in the U.N. time and time again. I have clear eyes on this. I'm not going to wear rose-colored glasses when it comes to Russia, or Mr. (Russian President Vladimir) Putin. And I'm certainly not going to say to him, I'll give you more flexibility after the election. After the election, he'll get more backbone.
Every election is important and each election says it's more important than the last.
The mythology is that political change happens only in election years. The truth is you build from election to election.
As a whole, the election process before the election and on the day of election was successful, and I think Azerbaijan had normal and democratic elections.
When Barack Obama was caught telling Dmitry Medvedev, "Tell Vlad to be patient. We'll get rid of our nukes after I win reelection and I'll have more flexibility." That was in 2012, right before the election.
The Republicans have their splits right after election and Democrats have theirs just before an election.
The conventional wisdom in an election year is that nothing will get done until after the election.
Others may make you promises, once again, and then election after election not deliver. We will not do this.
I represented the 4th District of South Carolina... from the election '92 until election '98. And then I was out six years and then came back for another six years between the election 2004 and the election 2010.
A movement election is a different type of election. It's an election where the people start moving into a direction because they think the country is failing or going down the tubes or the establishment has failed them.
Absolutely I'm going to be talking about it, because it's in the zeitgeist and it's happening. It's an election year. It's the biggest election. Every election is a big election, so whenever anybody says that it kinds of grates me, but it's a fiasco. It's turned into a complete circus act, so of course you have to make fun of it, but responsible journalists definitely are being irresponsible. They're giving [Donald Trump] so much air time.
President Obama has thrown allies like Israel under the bus, even as he has relaxed sanctions on Castro's Cuba. He abandoned our friends in Poland by walking away from our missile defense commitments, but is eager to give Russia's President Putin the flexibility he desires, after the election. Under my administration, our friends will see more loyalty, and Mr. Putin will see a little less flexibility and more backbone.
Sure, losing an election hurts, but I've experienced worse. And at an age when every day is precious, brooding over what might have been is self-defeating. In conceding the 1996 election, I remarked that "tomorrow will be the first time in my life I don't have anything to do." I was wrong. Seventy-two hours after conceding the election, I was swapping wisecracks with David Letterman on his late-night show.
This is not an election where we hand out gifts. It is an election where we ask everyone to contribute more.
It was obvious after the '97 election that as long as there were two small-c conservative parties trying to destroy each other, the Liberals would win every election.
