He seems to be a very thoughtful man who measures what he says very carefully. This is the kind of person we need as President. We should not want someone who substitutes emotion for sound policy or someone who falls back on the latest talking points to formulate their policy positions.

To me the person being elected president should be able to show that he or she can operate in our political environment and articulate a message that doesn't need to be explained by handlers.

On the one hand, it'd be nice to know that a candidate for the toughest and most important job in the world at least has his/her heart in it. On the other, it is a virtue to have motivations that aren't based in a primal thirst for power. But saying "not particularly interested" might make contributors to his campaign wonder why they are sending him their money. I think that Fred could have made the point better by phrasing the response differently. (this would bring up another knock on Thompson; he isn't a talented communicator). Maybe that's the takeaway.
