Thank you, Aaron.

OBAMA
I appreciate your sense of humor, sir, but I really could use your advice.
BARTLET
Well, it seems to me your problem is a lot like the problem I had twice.
OBAMA
Which was?
BARTLET
A huge number of Americans thought I thought I was superior to them.
OBAMA
And?
BARTLET
I was.
OBAMA
I mean, how did you overcome that?
BARTLET
I won’t lie to you, being fictional was a big advantage.
OBAMA
What do you mean?
BARTLET
I’m a fictional president. You’re dreaming right now, Senator.
OBAMA
I’m asleep?
BARTLET
Yes, and you’re losing a ton of white women.
OBAMA
Yes, sir.
BARTLET
I mean tons.
OBAMA
I understand.
BARTLET
I didn’t even think there were that many white women.
OBAMA
I see the numbers, sir. What do they want from me?
BARTLET
I’ve been married to a white woman for 40 years and I still don’t know what she wants from me.
OBAMA
How did you do it?
BARTLET
Well, I say I’m sorry a lot.
OBAMA
I don’t mean your marriage, sir….

Thank you! I’ve passed the link to several ‘West Wing’ friends. Hmm. Wonder if Barak Obama has thought of getting Aaaron to speechwrite for him…
