    EXCERPT:

    OBAMA: "I’ve said this before, people would ask me, 'Knowing what you know now, do you wish you had a third term?' And I used to say, 'You know what, if I could make an arrangement where I had a stand-in, a front-man or a front-woman and they had an ear piece in and I was just in my basement with my sweats looking through the stuff and I could sort of deliver the lines, but somebody else was doing all the talking and ceremony, I would be fine with that.'
