The 'All the President's Men' Pep Talk for Pres. Obama Before the Second Debate
With apologies to Jason Robards and William Goldman, actor and screenwriter of “All the President's Men,” from which this quote was taken (slightly out of context):
You know the results of the latest Gallup Poll? ... We're under a lot of pressure, you know, and you put us there. Nothing's riding on this except the first amendment to the Constitution, freedom of the press, and maybe the future of the country. Not that any of that matters. But if you fuck up again, I'm gonna get mad.
Here's the scene:

It's a little more than an hour after the debate, and, for the record, I'm not mad. I'm delirious. Obama did great. How great Obama did is indicated by how well Romney did for most of the evening. But Obama still swept him off the floor. BECAUSE OBAMA'S POLICIES ARE BETTER FOR THE MIDDLE CLASS.
Thank you.
