(The DC) — President Barack Obama told an audience in San Francisco Tuesday that the famous “hope” poster, popular during his 2008 campaign for president, is “kind of faded” and that it’s “not as trendy to be an Obama supporter” today as it was during his first run for the White House.
“We’ve made a lot of change, but we’ve got a lot more work to do,” he told an audience during a campaign event at the W Hotel in San Francisco, California. “And I know that I’m now a little grayer. You know, and it’s not as trendy to be an Obama supporter as it was back in 2008.”
Obama went on to say he was no longer the “new thing” and admitted that he had made some mistakes.
“You know, I was sort of the new thing, you know, sort of like the new new thing,” he said. “We’ve had setbacks. We’ve had disappointments, and I’ve made mistakes on occasion. Michelle reminds me of those frequently. You know, the ‘hope’ poster is, you know, kind of faded and a little dog-eared.”
