Obama: I'll Be In White House For Chicago Olympics

CHICAGO (CBS) ― Presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama dropped in on the Chicago 2016 Olympics rally on Friday and declared he is confident that he will be winding up his second term in the White House when Chicago hosts the 2016 Summer Olympic Games.

Such bravado about his own future is not typical of Obama, even in private. And, in the highly scripted world of modern politics, today's last-minute appearance was unusual. Obama had told CBS 2 Political Editor Mike Flannery on Thursday night that he had intended to ''chill out'' at home for a few days.

7. Yeah but the rest of the US won't get that - it might anger

people thinking he is being conceited. I hope he doesn't say something else like this publicly.
