Steele Open To Running For President, Claims Limbaugh Blow-Up Was Planned
Emerging from his self-imposed cone of silence, RNC Chairman Michael Steele gave an interview Wednesday in which he said he would consider a run for president and claimed to have strategically planned his recent confrontation with radio talk host Rush Limbaugh.
Speaking to CNN's Don Lemon, Steele said he "would think about" running for the White House but only if "that is where God wants me to be at that time."
"I would have to have a very long conversation with the wife and kids," he said, "because this business is not a fun thing. Our politics today does not incite or inspire someone to make that sacrifice, because the way our politics is played out today, in all honesty, is very ugly."
That statement, while curious considering Steele's early, rocky tenure at the RNC, was not the only newsworthy proclamation made. Later, he was asked to look back at his tiff with Limbaugh, in which he claimed that the bombastic radio personality was "incendiary" and "ugly" only to backtrack on his words.
It looked embarrassing for the Maryland Republican at the time. But Steele contended that it was all a part of a grand "strategic" plan.
"I'm very introspective about things. I'm a cause-and-effect kind of guy. So if I do something, there's a reason for it... It may look like a mistake, a gaffe. There is a rationale, there is a logic behind it," he said. "I want to see what the landscape looks like. I want to see who yells the loudest. I want to know who says they're with me but really isn't."
"It helps me understand my position on the chess board. It helps me understand, where, you know, the enemy camp is and where those who are inside the tent are," Steele

I've long suspected that many in the Republican party were operating in an alternate universe. These statements confirm it. First I had Phil Grahm telling me how even though my 401K had lost 40% in the last year, the recession was all in my head, and now Michael Steele is trying to convince me that he's something more than a lawn jockey on the front yard of RNC's HQ. I need this guy to save what little it of pride he has left and resign. Most importantly, I need him to STFU.

It is sad to me that Steele has paraded out by the Republicans as a Token and its almost like he doesn't even realize it.
And now he is saying things like he planned the thing with Rush?
How sad.
I think I have less of a problem with the Republican Party. Most of the actual members are decent and kind folks. I think it is that, as a mob, they tend to go in the wrong direction more often than not. But then again, the same can be said about the Dems...........

Bling-Bling Mike is going to save the Repubs by running for prez. I know that the GOP had to decide which way to go after the spankings it received in the last two national elections but picking Steele to lead the RNC was as superficial and cynical as McCain's Palin pick. It demonstrates a distinct lack of vision.
I figured at least Steele is a social "moderate" and may lead more of the party in that direction but my man says dumb isht ALL THE TIME.
He's going to get kicked out before too long.
