'My fellow Americans, I am sick and tired of not being president,' said Clinton, introducing his wife at a 'Hillary '08' rally. 'For seven agonizing years, I have sat idly by as others experienced the joys of campaigning, debating, and interacting with the people of this great nation, and I simply cannot take it anymore. I have to be president again. I have to.'
