Obama starting to sweat profusely

“I hope you guys are up for a fight. I hope you guys are game because I haven’t been putting up with 19 months of airplanes and hotel food and missing my babies and my wife – I didn’t put up for that stuff just to come in second,” he said.“I don’t believe in coming in second. The American people can’t afford for us to come in second.”

"Hope" implies he doesn't believe. he knows he ain't the shoe-in that the media hyped him up to be after all.
