"I'm Not Running"

I missed it at the time, but in an interview with presidential historian Doris Kearns Goodwin at the Vanity Fair New Establishment Summit a couple of weeks ago, Disney Chairman Robert Iger said definitively that he's not running for president:

"You mentioned my running for president. I'm not doing that," Iger said, emphatically. ''We keep coming back to some of these themes, but no, that's off the table. I'm running the Walt Disney Co." (From an article at Deadline, read it here.)

I'm moving Mr. Iger to the "I'm Not Running" list.
