Joey polled 16 Republicans, 16 Democrats, and 12 Independents, and found that 69% said the President was a strong leader. This is mathematically impossible, as 30 divided by 44 is 68% and 31 divided by 44 is 70%.

Quotes
Sam Seaborn: Over the past half century, we've split the atom, we've spliced the gene and we've roamed Tranquility Base. We've reached for the stars and never have we been closer to having them in our grasp. New science, new technology is making the difference between life and death, and so we need a national commitment equal to this unparalleled moment of possibility. And so I announce to you tonight that I will bring the full resources of the Federal Government and the full reach of my office to this fundamental goal: We will cure cancer by the end of this decade.
