- I'll need the consumer--
- Overall consumer spending.

:04:03
- We'll have it in 15 minutes.
- Thanks.

:04:06
- Mr.President, we need to focus on--
- Reduce your morning coffee by half.

:04:10
- I don't drink coffee, sir.
- Hit your head with a baseball bat.

:04:15
- Happy birthday, Laura.
- Happy birthday.

:04:18
- I should send her flowers.
- You did, sir.

:04:21
Good morning.
:04:22
- How are you today, Mrs.Chapil?
- Fine, thank you, sir.

:04:24
Mr.Kodak left a detailed breakdown
of the approval poll for you.

:04:28
He said it was very good news.
:04:30
Sixty-three percent of it, at any rate.
:04:32
Lucy called. You forgot to sign
her permission slip for her class.

:04:36
The museum trip. I'll get it, sir.
:04:37
- What time's she getting home?
- 3:20.

:04:39
- How's my afternoon?
- Very crowded.

:04:41
Schedule some time at 3:45.
:04:45
Too tall McCall. So how was Mexico?
:04:48
I didn't truly appreciate it till I discovered
that America isn't a "Great Society."

:04:52
He dumped the whole section.
:04:54
Now this thing's hanging out there.
:04:56
Not a "Great Society"?
:04:57
With you away it wasn't.
Now that you're back we're great again.

:05:01
The press is saying,
"What did he mean by that?"

:05:04
A.J., did you get one of these?
:05:06
The letter from Solomon at the GDC?
:05:08
It's from the environmental community.
These people are out of control.

:05:12
They're frustrated.
:05:13
Are they blaming the President
for global warming?

:05:16
They don't think he caused it.
:05:18
I'm on the phone with them twice a week.
I honestly don't know what they want.

:05:22
They want a 20 percent reduction
in fossil fuel emissions.

:05:25
- Won't pass at 20 percent.
- We haven't really tried.

:05:28
McSorley, McCluskey and Shane
hold too many markers.

:05:31
If we try to push it and we lose...
:05:33
...there'll be a loud thud
when we hit the ground.

:05:36
That's not what you want
in an election year.

:05:38
Talk to GDC again, A.J.
:05:40
Tell them I resent the implication
I've turned my back on the environment.

:05:43
Tell them I'll send 455 to the floor, but
I'm gonna ask for a ten percent reduction.

:05:48
They want to pull their support, fine.
:05:50
With a 63 percent job approval rating,
I don't need their help.

:05:54
Good deal.
:05:54
All right, let's get going. Where's Leon?
:05:57
Will you call Mr.Kodak
and tell him the President's waiting?
