[Daily Caller] President Barack Obama said that Hillary Clinton's use of a private email system was "a mistake" and that federal officials need to be "more sensitive" about how they handle government information.
Obama did, however, say that he does not believe that Clinton's use of a personal email account and private email server posed a national security threat. He also claimed that the controversy has been "ginned-up" for political reasons.
Asked during an interview with "60 Minutes" reporter Steve Kroft whether he knew that Clinton used a private server, Obama said that he did not. The White House has previously acknowledged that Obama exchanged some emails with Clinton on her personal email account but said that he did not know the extent of her home-brew system.
"I don't think it posed a national security problem," Obama said, adding that "I think that it was a mistake that she has acknowledged." As of this morning, no one by the name of Clinton has checked into the Mayo Clinic. Doctors however, are standing by.

Candidate Obama promised openness and transparency. We weren't to know he meant with the nation's enemies instead of her citizens. This was just an efficient way to accomplish it.

Our government is incompetent from the top to the bottom. Leaders hold their people accountable and demand integrity. Incompetent leaders hide and cover it up. More leadership examples of our DC elite.

[Breitbart] President Obama insisted that he could run and win a third term as president if he wanted to, but assured Americans that he would follow the lead of previous presidents before him.
No mention of the Constitution...
When asked directly by Steve Kroft in a 60 Minutes interview if he could win a third term as president he replied without hesitation, "Yes. I do."
He pointed out that it was "bittersweet" heading into his last year in office admitting that he would "love to do some more" to help the country.
But he compared his own struggle with that of the nation's first president, George Washington, to explain why he would step down.

I agree with JohnQC, I don't think he'd get a third term. I think he'd lose in a landslide by this point. Even Democrats are tired of defending the indefensible and those that aren't wonder why he didn't accomplish more damage when he had both houses.

Some were saying he couldn't possibly win with his record in 2011 as well.
Too few voters even look at the records anymore. The media hides the skeletons in the Dem's closets and if they can't exploit existing ones will simply make up skeletons in the Trunks' closets otu of whole cloth.
