President Obama Says First Lady Would Divorce Him if He Ran Again

>> Jimmy: ARE YOU HAPPY IN A WAY, ARE YOU GLAD THAT THERE ARE TERM LIMITS? THAT YOU'RE NOT BEING PRESSURED -- >> YES -- WELL, NOT -- YOU KNOW, GEORGE WASHINGTON IS ONE OF OUR GREATEST PRESIDENTS. NOT JUST BECAUSE HE HELPED TO LEAD THE REVOLUTION, BUT BECAUSE HE HAD THE WISDOM AFTER TWO TERMS -- AT THE TIME THERE WAS NO CONSTITUTIONAL PROHIBITION ON HIM CONTINUING, AND HE WAS BEING PRESSURED BY A LOT OF FOLKS TO SAY, YOU'RE THE ONLY PERSON WHO CAN HOLD THIS TOGETHER. AND HE HAD THE WISDOM TO STEP BACK AND SAY, I DO NOT WANT TO SET A PRECEDENT WHERE I AM PRESIDENT FOR LIFE. NOW PERSONALLY FOR ME, IF I WERE ABLE TO RUN FOR A THIRD TERM, MICHELLE WOULD DIVORCE ME. [ LAUGHTER ] [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] SO IT'S USEFUL THAT I DON'T HAVE THAT CHOICE TO MAKE. >> Jimmy: I KNOW YOU HAVE TO LEAVE BUT CAN WE KEEP HER FOR ANOTHER FOUR YEARS? [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] >> SHE IS SPECTACULAR. BUT I WAS TELLING SOMEBODY BACKSTAGE, MICHELLE WAS NEVER WILD ABOUT POLITICS. MICHELLE ONCE EXPLAINED TO ME, I TRY TO ORGANIZE MY LIFE NOT TO HAVE A LOT OF MESS AROUND. AND POLITICS IS JUST A BIG MESS. >> Jimmy: YEAH. >> SHE SAID -- I STILL REMEMBER, WHEN I WAS THINKING ABOUT RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT, SHE SAID, YOU KNOW, I THINK YOU WOULD MAKE AN OUTSTANDING PRESIDENT -- AND I WOULD WORK SO HARD TO MAKE SURE YOU WERE PRESIDENT, YOU'RE THE KIND OF PERSON WE NEED, IF I WEREN'T MARRIED TO YOU. [ LAUGHTER ] SO SHE IS NOT SORRY. >> Jimmy: THEY ARE LOOKING FORWARD, ALL THE WOMEN IN YOUR LIFE ARE LOOKING FORWARD -- >> ALL THE WOMEN IN MY LIFE ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO BEING ABLE TO LIVE A MORE NORMAL LIFE. >> Jimmy: YEAH. BUT STILL NOT ENTIRELY NORMAL. OBVIOUSLY EVERYBODY'S UNDER THE MICROSCOPE AT ALL TIMES. >> A LITTLE BIT MORE. >> Jimmy: YOU'RE STAYING IN WASHINGTON, D.C., WHICH IS UNUSUAL FOR AN EXITING PRESIDENT. >> I'M LIKE THE OLD GUY AT THE BAR WHERE YOU WENT TO HIGH SCHOOL. >> Jimmy: EXACTLY. >> JUST HANGING AROUND. IT'S LIKE SHIRT'S BEEN ON TOO LONG, STILL THINKS HE'S COOL. >> Jimmy: THAT'S ONE OF YOUR FRIENDS YOU'RE GOING TO BE HANGING OUT WITH. >> EXACTLY RIGHT, ME AND THAT GUY AT THE CAPITOL HILL BAR. WHEN'S THAT GUY LEAVING? >> Jimmy: THAT GUY'S NEVER LEAVING. >> SASHA IS A SOPHOMORE. SHE'S DOING GREAT IN THE SCHOOL SHE CURRENTLY ATTENDS. OUR ATTITUDE IS THAT IF YOU HAVE A TEENAGER AND YOU REALLY WANT TO MAKE SURE THEY NEVER TALK TO YOU AGAIN, THEN PULL THEM OUT OF HIGH SCHOOL RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF SOPHOMORE YEAR. >> Jimmy: YOU'RE RIGHT. >> SO LOOK, THEY'VE MADE SO MANY SACRIFICES. >> THEY HAVE, YEAH. >> I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY GET THE ABILITY TO HAVE WHAT'S
