Barack Obama has insisted he deserves another term in the White House and today revealed he's learned a lot about how to be president since he took office four years ago. The U.S. President told NBC that he does ‘deserve a second term - but we’re not done’ and added that one of the toughest parts of the job is seeing his wife dragged into the political realm. He will 'keep on plodding away’ and said many Americans are only frustrated with his performance because he hasn’t been able to ‘force Congress to implement every aspect of what I said in 2008’. Scroll down for video. Exhausted: President Barack Obama, appearing in a television interview for NBC on Sunday, insisted that he does 'deserve a second term' and will continue to 'keep plodding' to get Congress to act on his ideas. President Obama was asked by NBC’s. Today show host Matt Lauer about how he felt when Michelle Obama told. CBS last month that she has been inaccurately portrayed as an ‘angry. black woman’. He said his wife is a great First. Lady, Americans have a good impression of her and she is ready for. another four years in the White House - despite initial reservations. about coming to Washington. President Obama also bemoaned his. trouble getting Congress to act on his ideas. ‘Our founders designed a. system that makes it more difficult to bring about change than I would. like,’ he said. ‘What I'm going to just keep on doing. is plodding away, very persistent. And you know what? One of the things. about being president is you get better as time goes on,’ President. Obama told NBC. Early days: Mr Obama was optimistic about making good on his promise to build bi-partisanship in Washington in a 2009 interview, shot just ten days into his presidency. He admitted he still struggles as a. father with his family being brought into politics, saying it ‘isn’t. always very pleasant’ and ‘weighs on me’. ‘I could not be prouder of. her,’ he said of Mrs Obama. 'What I'm going to just keep on doing is plodding away, very persistent. And you know what? One of the things about being president is you get better as time goes on' President Barack Obama. Mr Lauer brought up President. Obama’s 2009 pre-Super Bowl interview, when he had said: ‘If I don’t. have this done in three years, it’s going to be a one-term proposition.’ He responded that was in part because. the economic recovery looked bleak in 2009, saying: ‘When you and I sat. down (in 2009), we were losing 750,000 jobs a month. Now we’re creating. 250,000.’ President Obama added that the economy. has added 3.7million jobs in the last 23 months, and the most. manufacturing jobs since the early 1990s. Sit-down: NBC's Today show host Matt Lauer  brought up President Obama¿s 2009 interview, when he had said: 'If I don't have this done in three years, it's going to be a one-term proposition' Much of what he said echoed his State. of the Union address, in which he spoke of getting America back to its. ‘old-fashioned’ values of economic and social fairness. 'Our founders designed a system that makes it more difficult to bring about change than I would like' President Barack Obama. In a turn of good news for President. Obama, the unemployment rate fell to 8.3 per cent in January, its lowest. since February 2009. That has been debate fodder for the GOP. presidential candidates. Republican frontrunner Mitt Romney. accused the president of not including the underemployed and those who. have stopped looking for work in his victory speech following the Nevada. caucuses. ‘The real unemployment rate is over 15. per cent, Mr President,’ Mr Romney said. ‘America has also had enough. of your kind help.’ President Obama said the economic. recovery process is lengthy and delicate. ‘The key right now is to make. sure we don’t start turning in a new direction that could throw that. progress off,’ he said. Barack and Michelle: He said his wife is a great First Lady, Americans have a good impression of her and she is ready for another four years in the White House, despite initial reservations about coming to Washington. Political forecasters agree the newest. unemployment figure gives a much-needed boost to President Obama’s. chances of winning a second term, but he knows he is in for a fight this. autumn. 'There's going to be just a lot of money floating around... and I guarantee you a bunch of that's going to be negative. But it's not going to be enough just to say the other guy's a bum' President Barack Obama. ‘There's going to be just a lot of. money floating around...and I guarantee you a bunch of that's going to. be negative,’ he told NBC. ‘But it's not going to be enough just to say. the other guy's a bum.’ According to one editorial in the. National Journal, GOP presidential hopefuls may soon have to pick on. rising gas prices rather than unemployment, as numbers continue to. remain cautiously positive. In the interview, which aired in two. parts last night and this morning, the President and Mr Lauer also. discussed the escalating tensions between Iran and Israel, and the. United States’ role. He did not answer directly if he would. support Israel should they decide to strike out at Iran, but said that. he has good intelligence abroad and wants to resolve the nuclear issue. diplomatically.
