Oh, how are you, President?
We thought we'd better get a picture of you before you step off here.
I appreciate it very much.
I'm sure that everyone has said how much they appreciate you being involved.
None of them needed more than a performance.
I appreciate it very much.
I just hope we're interacting with the future who will be calling in on that.
I will be supporting the advice of the documentals.
What did you do?
What did you do?
Do you have an apartment or a house?
We have a nice house.
It's a beautiful area.
We sold the house before I came to go.
We purchased it, not knowing it was going to be used in government.
We kept it.
Now you have it for yourself.
I know, I know.
