Watch Obama’s arrogant answer to a question regarding his future successor.
“Just with respect to my successor, let me first of all say that I’m anticipating a Democrat succeeding me,” Obama said, to laughter from the assembled press. “I’m confident in the wisdom of the American people on that front.

“And, what you realize is what I mentioned earlier, that American leadership involves not just playing to narrow constituencies back home, but you are now at the center of what happens around the world.”
