I read the entire transcript and he said a heck of a lot more that that 10 second sound byte.

No thank you. Fred shouldn't have said it. It was stupid unless he really means it.
But I must not be the only one who questions his desire... he didn't do well in Iowa. Let's see how he does in NH...
~being straighforward and honest~
thank you!
"...I dont know that they ever asked George Washington a question like this. I dont know that they ever asked Dwight D. Eisenhower a question like this. But nowadays, its all about fire in the belly. Im not sure in the world we live in today its a good thing if a president has too much fire in the belly. I approach life differently than a lot of people. People, I guess, wonder how Ive been as successful as Ive been in everything that Ive done. I won two races in TN by 20 point margins in a state that bill Clinton carried twice. Ive never had an acting lesson. I guess thats obvious by people whove watched meWhen I did it, I did it. Wasnt just a lark. Anything thats worth doing is worth doing well. But Ive always been a little more laid back than most. Im only consumed by very, very few things. Politics is not one of them. The welfare of our country and our kids and grandkids is one of them.
If people really want in their president super type-a personality, someone who has gotten up every morning and gone to bed every night and been thinking about for years how they win the presidency of the united states, someone who can look you straight in the eye and say they enjoy every minute of campaigning, I aint that guy. So I hope Ive discussed that and didnt talk you out of anything. I honestly want I cant imagine a worse set of circumstances [than] achieving the Presidency of the United States under false pretenses. I go out of my way to be myself..."
