So that's what I wanted to report to you. I thank you for giving me a chance to come and say hello. I'll be glad to answer some questions if you have any. And if not, I can keep talking, believe me. (Laughter.)You got one? Good. Thank you. Yes, sir. Yell it. If I don't like it, I'll just interpret it. (Laughter.)
Later....
Q Yes, sir. I was sitting -- I had the honor of sitting up front when you addressed the National Convention of VFW in Kansas City.
THE PRESIDENT: Yes, sir. Were you the guy that was sound asleep? (Laughter.)
Q No, sir. I'm not the guy.
THE PRESIDENT: Okay, good. (Laughter.)
Q After all of the presidential hopefuls had paraded through for three days before you got there, and you gave your wonderful speech, the straw poll throughout the entire room, sir, was that we wish you could run for another four years. (Applause.)
THE PRESIDENT: Well, I can't, and it's time for new blood. After 18 -- 15 more months, I'm going to sprint to the finish; you don't have to worry about that. I'm going to give it my all. And there's nothing better for a democracy than to renew itself by elections and new leadership. So, anyway, thanks for saying it. Plus, I'd be single. (Laughter.)
