MONTGOMERY, Alabama – Sen. Jeff Sessions spoke to the Montgomery Area Chamber of Commerce this morning and fielded questions from the audience after his remarks.

The first question: Are you considering, or will you please run for president?

"Jeff Sessions ... Sessions for President," Ingraham said. "Really. Is there anyone out there who is better than Jeff Sessions on any of these issues? He's great."

The chamber crowd this morning applauded the question, but as the clapping died down, Sessions dismissed it with some self-deprecating humor.

“I’m flabbergasted that that ever came up,” Sessions said.

A minute later he added this, drawing more applause and laughs.

“I do have one advantage over most of these guys, all of these guys I suspect,” Sessions said. “I know I’m not qualified to be president of the United States.”

As for why the idea came up, Sessions said he thought some remarks he’s been making have resonated with the public.

“It’s a very tough job,” Sessions said of the presidency. “I’ve been hard on President Obama, but I think it’s been focused mainly on my concern about spending and debt.”

Sessions said the 2016 campaign will be interesting.

"I don’t know how it will develop," Sessions said. "But a good, strong, clear leader for America will be something we’ll be looking for. And I certainly know I’m not qualified to be that."
