I saw that, but there is NO article, no context, no outside link.

You are correct.

But I think the context is easily divined. It was April 2001 and lefties the country (and world!) over were gnashing their teeth over the election of 2000. Evidently President Bush was being asked if he would submit to such a situation again, and because he doesn't then and there declare himself a candidate we have a poster who is deceitfully pulling the ancient quote up to stir the pot with "he might not run" questions when it is as plain as day that he is running and there isn't one question about it.

Courtesy ping to MAP since I am sharply criticizing your behavior.

I could care less about your "sharp criticism". What he said came to mind during the discussion. Without a tape of the event seen with your own eyes your in no position to judge how serious he sounded or not. He did not chuckle, he did sound serious.

I remember thinking at the time, why put everyone through this if he is considering not running again. It made me a little mad in fact. There was no humor in the interview at all.
