A specific reference to your quote please so we can look at where you get your info.
EDIT:
Both links are the same articles quoting un-named people that "claim" to have heard the president say it. You would think with all the Bush hatred that is going on, someone would want to take credit for reporting this statement, and would go to a larger news outlet (CBS, ABC, NBC).

In all fairness... I'd agree that some of Bush's *actions* (Patriot Act, Unitary Executive signing statements, etc.) have shown disregard of the Constitution. However, I really don't put much weight in the Capital Hill Blue article. I 'googled' this and could find nothing to back up this article. I have to believe that the Democratic Party and left-wing sites, as well as mainstream media, would have bombarded us with such a 'hot' item if it could be substantiated and collaborated as credible.
A similar type of rumor came up just yesterday regarding Kerry 'flipping off' a vet in 2004.

This was way back in 2005. But it is good to be reminded occasionally just what a dictator is living in the White House and how glad we should all be to eventually get rid of him. Pity it won't be through an impeachment.

Even the conservative papers can't deny the fact that he did say it:

Thanks for asking this question. As I'm reading the answers, I realized that even his supporters find this statement to be unconscionable!
I guess many people miss the news and Bush supporters support him without following what he does and says. Sad.
Here is another source, in case anyone thinks the asker pulled this out of his hat. Here's a Constitutional Law expert speaking of this and other instances that make our founding fathers turn in their graves:

Did you get this out of a rag like the National Enquirer?
Please name a source other than capitalhillblue. I read it and it seems like along the lines of the National Enquirer. Is there not a mainstream (liberal) media source? If there is not, I have to say that this is not true.

Find me *one* CREDIBLE source, and I'll pay you. The ONLY mention of this I've found in the MSM is a clip on Olbermann where he's bleating about it - but he does not offer one shred of evidence.
Capital Blue is the rantings of ONE man - and an excellent example of the power of the Internet. AND it's all hearsay - which isn't even admissible in a court of law.
I can start BS, too - should I do a blog about Pelosi using the Koran for toilet paper? Same principal, Skippy. Surely if you're in college, your professors have talked to you about CREDIBLE sources.

Um, you would need to show us your proof of him saying that. I'm sure you've got a link, right?
EDIT- Okay, first off, capitolhillblue is the biggest left wing, propaganda rag on the net. It targets the weak minded that need no proof, that are so full of hate they'll hang on to anything negative thrown out there about President Bush. There are absolutely no sources named just he said he said and so on and so forth. Where is a LEGITIMATE, reliable news source???
EDIT- What part of LEGITIMATE and RELIABLE do you not understand in regard to news sources???

Did he REALLY say that????? He's really gone crazy now, hasn't he? If he did, he meant that he is not all that concerned about following it and protecting it, which is in violation of his oath that he took when being sworn into office.
But I don't believe he said that. He's dumb, but not that dumb.
O.K. I went to the articles, which are basically identical. But they make me believe that the asshole really DID say that! It's amazing that he was able to survive his Presidency with a statement like that! I guess that hush hushed it quite well enough so that it really wouldn't get out into the mainstream press. Lucky bastard.

funny how people of accuse him of this. Then in the same breathe accuse him of appointing strict constructionists as judges. Strict construction in the interpretation of the Constitution.
The Left believes if they scream loud enough long enough maybe some of their lies will be believed; even if the contradict each other
