"After the midterm elections, my advisers asked me, 'Mr. President, do you have a bucket list?' And I said, well, I have something that rhymes with bucket list."
"Welcome to the fourth quarter of my presidency... The fact is I feel more loose and relaxed than ever. Those Joe Biden shoulder massages - they’re like magic. You should try one."
"It is no wonder that people keep pointing out how the presidency has aged me. I look so old, John Boehner's already invited (Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin) Netanyahu to speak at my funeral."

"Just this week (fomer Republican Minnesota Congresswoman) Michele Bachmann actually predicted that I would bring about the biblical end of days. Now, that's a legacy."
Obama brought up the ABC show "Black-ish:” "Being black-ish only makes you popular for so long. Trust me, there's a shelf life to that thing."
