My point was to show Howlin that I had not dreamed up the fact that Bush said what he said.

So, you actually believe that an article that says:

WASHINGTON (AP) - On his 96th day in the White House, President Bush (news - web sites) was in no hurry to envision a second term - ``IF I run again,'' he demurred - or to dazzle detractors in his first.

Expectations? ``I'm doing everything I can to keep 'em low,'' the president said with a chuckle.

means what you said in this post?

Bush himself said it. That he might not run again. What a relief it would be if he didn't. I cannot, not vote for a Republican, so I'll just end up writing one in I guess.

He said it during an interview the first few days after the election was settled. It shocked me to hear him say it. Doesn't anyone watch the news anymore? lol

In 2001, after all the rallies and the bitter fight for victory over the Democratic vote fraud machine, I was fired up for Bush and hanging on every word he said like it was gospel.

``If I run again, I would like to carry California. But that was my aspiration the first time I ran as well,'' said Bush, who could have avoided last year's Florida recount if he had claimed California's huge cache of electoral votes.

Bush said he feels too honored and excited to be in the White House now to think about the eventual fight to keep it.

``The idea of talking about re-election, with my frame of mind the way it is, it's foreign right now.''
