Quote by Ronald Reagan
I heard one presidential candidate say that what this country needed was a president for the nineties. I was set to run again. I thought he said a president IN his nineties.
Summary
In this quote, the speaker humorously misinterprets the statement made by a presidential candidate. When the candidate says the country needs a president for the nineties, the speaker initially believes they mean a president who is in their nineties in age. The misinterpretation highlights the speaker's humorous and self-deprecating perspective, as they humorously consider running for the presidency despite their age. It serves as a playful commentary on the misunderstandings that can arise in political discourse.
