The White House has rejected accounts from US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who said President Barack Obama told her he was confident that he would be re-elected in the 2012 presidential elections. Clinton began recounting an anecdote during a speech about how she and Obama joke about some world leaders who try to hold onto power for 10, 20, 30, or even 40 years. "And he and I look at each other and say, 'Oh my God. Can you imagine?'" Clinton said politically. "The President told me the other day, 'I'm going to win re-election, and then I'm done,'" she added. Indeed, at a fundraising event, Obama himself suggested that he would win in 2012. "We are only a quarter of the way through, and we have to ensure that we complete our mission," said Obama. But when asked if Obama views re-election as a "foregone conclusion," White House Press Secretary Jay Carney roundly denied it, saying, "I can assure you that he is not. When it comes to the upcoming election, he absolutely does not take anything for granted. And he fully understands that we are operating in a very favorable political environment," he said.
