It seems that there is no doubt in President Obama's mind that he will not have to move out of the White House anytime soon.
Press Secretary Jim Carney tried to downplay the President's confidence during Tuesday's press briefing.
"He's focused very much on the job he has to do as President.
"The enormous array of challenges that this country faces right now occupy almost all of his time ... but when it comes to the coming election, he's taking absolutely nothing for granted and he understands very well that we live in a very competitive political environment, which is why he will when the time comes make a case for re-election," Carney said.
However, recent statements by the President himself and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton paint a different picture of Obama's confidence.
On Monday, President Obama told a group of donors during a political fundraiser held at the Capital Hilton in Washington D.C., "we're just a quarter of the way through and we've got to make sure that we finish our task."
Secretary Clinton said the President recently told her that, "I'm going to win re-election, and then I'm done."
I would remind President Obama in regards to his comment to Clinton, that he is only allowed 8 years to begin with.
And, just how does President Obama plan to help pay for his billion dollar reelection plans? By selling coffee mugs and t-shirts making fun of the birther movement.
Give me a break!
