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).
What did Bush mean when he said of the constitution"its just a god damn piece of paper"?
He meant that it was interfering with the policies that he wanted to enact.
Reply:It doesn't stand in his way.
Reply:I believe that this is a Lie! So there is no meaning to respond to. If not, then show proof of your statement!
Reply: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:

Reply:It meant that he was unable to read what was on it.
Reply: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.
Reply:It requires him to maintain a pretense of acting within the law. That can be very frustrating for a " decider " .
Reply:And because this article on this site said this it's true????? I don't believe a word of it!!!
Reply: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.
Reply:Well, I have never heard him say that; give source please.
Reply: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???
Reply: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.
Reply:I didn't know he said this - do you have a source you can email me? thx.
I appreciate the link - I'm not familiar with this publication tho - will research further on my own ---- again, thanks !
Reply: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.
Reply:He meant it was getting in the way of the programs he wanted to initiate to guard against terrorist attacks. He should have had more regard for using the correct channels for his programs and a whole lot of people would have had more faith in his judgment and would have probably enjoyed more support from the American people. He usurped way too much power for the executive branch that seemed to literally obliterate the power of Congress for several years. He didn't appear to regard the rights of Americans in his fervor to prevent further attacks. In my opinion, both are very important.
Reply:Give me a break!!! You are being a left extremist to come on here and say this stuff!
Reply:The same thing the democrats mean without saying anything, but through their actions.
Yes HE DID SAY IT!!!! if you ppl had memory retention longer than two seconds, you would have remembered. Or at least start paying a tad bit more attention.
Ron Paul 2008
Reply: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
Reply:Well that just proves that he doesn't and never has cared about this country and the principles in which it was founded upon.
Reply:you have to up better proof than that. I've talked to people that have seen big foot and I certainly will not take anyone's word for proof.
Reply:I doubt he said that, let's see a link.
Reply:Surely even your wit and knowledge can provide proof od this?
Reply:When did he say that? Please provide evidence.
Those are both the same article (an unsupported opinion piece). In reading them I have a hard time believing that anything in them is accurate. Please provide evidence from an actual news source someone might have heard of. Not just something written by an unknown author on a backwater extremist website.
Reply:He agrees with it.
Reply:i think he said that of the government bonds issued so he could borrow from the social securtiy trust funds. I think of the constitution he said "its not a suicide pact".
Reply:yes he said that because it gets in his way of some of the stuff that he would like to do but cannot because it would be unconstitutional or illegal to do under the constitution.
Reply:Basically that the content and guidelines within the Constitution have no meaning to him... that he can do whatever he wants with no accountability.... as he has done for the past ~7 years.
His statement also reflects him saying, "I'm a liar and have no intentions of honoring my oath to office where UNDER GOD I swore to protect the Constitution."
NOTE: I'm amazed at how many ppl don't already know about this. He made this statement a few years ago.
Reply:He is thinking that the Philadelphia Convention didn't know that 220 years later people would be taking advantage of too many rights.
Reply:Bush was angry after 9/11. Many have said his Patriot Act violates the Constitution. That was Bush's response.
Reply:BUSH SAID THAT?!!?!?!
WOW, talk about unpatriotic.
