He thinks rather highly of himself doesn't he? To bad I never knew he was and now that this little chattering by the nattering nabobs is over Ben-Veiniste can fade back into obscurity!

I believe when he said this it was part of what I was describing earlier...he was conceding Mark Felt had behaved unethically (but he still argued the ends justified the means, ultimately). So I have to disagree he was portraying himself as POTUS, but was using a phrase to convey the message.
