PRESIDENT OBAMA: Well, I think that we have some amazing female public servants all across the country. And there is no doubt that sometime very soon we’re gonna have a female president, and I’m confident that she will do a great job.

WALTERS: Do you think that the first lady might have made a better president than you?

PRESIDENT OBAMA: Of course. That’s an easy question. But she’s smart enough to know that — you know, she might not want to go through the process.

FIRST LADY MICHELLE OBAMA: I absolutely don’t agree. He has a level of patience and focus and tenacity and calm, you know, that — that just doesn’t, you know, come by.
