WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Republican U.S. Senate Leader Bill Frist of Tennessee said on Wednesday he would not run for the White House in 2008 and will return to his medical practice after he leaves the U.S. Congress in January. Frist, a surgeon who served two terms, had been preparing for a possible presidential run for more than a year but said he decided this was not the time. "In the Bible, God tells us for everything there is a season, and for me, for now, this season of being an elected official has come to a close. I do not intend to run for president in 2008," Frist said in a statement. He said he would take a sabbatical from private life and "return to my professional roots as a healer." "In the short term, I will resume my regular medical mission trips as a doctor around the world to serve those in poverty, in famine, and in civil war," he said. "I will continue to be a strong voice to fix what is broken in our health care system and to address the issues of clean water and public health globally." |

For several reasons, I think much about this story fits into the category of "no brainer". |

Yeah... I think he's probably best suited to his profession as a physician. As the POTUS, eh... not so much. |

Everyone has to figure out what he's really supposed to be doing with his life, and pursue it. That doesn't always come easy, or without significant trade-off of dreams. |
