I want to send some flowers, Janie. I want to do it myself. I don’t want to staff it out, and I don’t want to issue an Executive Order. I just want a phone number.

More from The American President

• Well, I could explain it better, but I’d need charts and graphs and an easel.
• Mood swings? Nineteen post-graduate degrees in mathematics, and your best explanation for going from a 63 to a 46 percent approval rating in five weeks is mood swings?
• How can you keep quiet? How do you have patience for people who claim they love America but clearly can't stand Americans?
• Mr. President, I'm sure there's an appropriate thing to say at this moment. Probably some formal apology for the nice-ass remark would be in order. I just don't quite know how to word it.
• Mr. President, you got bigger problems than losing me. You just lost my vote.
• Are you nervous?
