George H.W. Bush: “I don't know, Charles, I don't know. My health is pretty good, though, and I want to challenge the press corps…”

“I don't know, Charles, I don't know. My health is pretty good, though, and I want to challenge the press corps, everybody who's 67 and over, to a race around the Oval here. [Laughter] You'll maybe run into a few of the younger crowd--sorry, that's not a direct assault on you cameramen. I want to be careful. [Laughter] But seriously, it's a crazy time on rumors. We get phone calls: Barbara's sick; Marilyn Quayle's sick; I'm not feeling well. I don't know what's going on out there. But I don't believe in repeating them or encouraging the printing of them. Thank you all very much.”
