Indeed, Gillymor. He never did want to be President. He was, I believe, doing it mostly for his ego. I suspect that he decided to run after Obama mad fun of him at the correspondent's dinner. When he actually won, he tried to use the office to, as you say, line his pockets.
   He refused to read briefing papers and ignored the decision making aspects of the office as much as possible.
   This time he IS running to avoid jail. If he were to actually win again, there would likely be more impeachments!
