President Obama: I’m going to win reelection
By Amie Parnes - 01/26/12 07:07 PM ET
President Obama said in no-uncertain terms on Thursday that he will win his re-election campaign in November.
Asked by ABC News’s Diane Sawyer if he was going to win, Obama replied: “Yes.”
He also told Sawyer he would "fight with every fiber of my being" for a second term.
"How much do you want it?" Sawyer asked Obama in the interview.
"Badly," Obama said. "Because I think the country needs it."
Just a few months ago Obama described himself as an underdog in the 2012 election.
In another interview with ABC in November, Obama was asked if the odds were stacked against him in the presidential election. “Absolutely,” he replied.
“I’m used to being the underdog,” Obama said.
Since then, Obama has seen his approval ratings improve a tick along with the economy. He won a major victory when the GOP House initially opposed an extension of a payroll tax cut, and he also may be benefitting from the GOP primary fight.
For the second day in a row on Wednesday, Obama named his Republican opponents who are in the midst of a battle in Florida.
He also refuted Newt Gingrich's sentiment that he is "the food stamp president.
"First of all, I don't put people on food stamps," he said. "People become eligible for food stamps. Second of all, the initial expansion of food-stamp eligibility happened under my Republican predecessor, not under me. Number 3, When you have a disastrous economic crash that results in 8 million people losing their jobs, more people are going to need more support from government."
Obama wouldn't say if the label "food stamp president" was laced with racism. But he did say Americans will have to decide in November "about who's trying to bring the country together and who's dividing it, who reflects the core values that helped create this country...and who is tapping into some of our worst instincts."

It is laced with truth you piece of shit. This country doesn't need you!
