You're not getting enough roughage in your diet, you know I'm right about that.
I know I'd like to beat you senseless with a head of cabbage, I know that for damn sure.
Once again you display an immaturity about vegetables that I think is not at all Presidential.
Sir, we're not prejudiced toward homosexuals.
APAdmiral Percy Fitzwallace
You just don't want to see them serving in the Armed Forces?
No, sir, I don't.
APAdmiral Percy Fitzwallace
'Cause they impose a threat to unit discipline and cohesion.
Yes, sir.
APAdmiral Percy Fitzwallace
That's what I think, too. I also think the military wasn't designed to be an instrument of social change.
Yes, sir.
APAdmiral Percy Fitzwallace
The problem with that is that's what they were saying to me 50 years ago. Blacks shouldn't serve with whites. It would disrupt the unit. You know what? It did disrupt the unit. The unit got over it. The unit changed. I'm an admiral in the United States Navy and chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff... Beat that with a stick.

Your life will be in danger.” He said, “To hell with that, I'm going anyway.” You said, “No.” Prudent or not prudent, this 21 year old for 600 dollars a week says, “I'm going where I want to, because a man stands up!”
Listen up. Our ground game isn't working; we're gonna put the ball in the air. If we're gonna walk into walls, I want us running into them full-speed.
What are you saying?
Well, you can start by telling the Hill the President's named his nominees to the FEC. And we're gonna lose some of these battles. And we might even lose the White House. But we're not going to be threatened by issues: we're going to put 'em front and center. We're gonna raise raise the level of public debate in this country, and let that be our legacy. That sound alright to you Josh?
I serve at the pleasure of the President of the United States.

Toby?
I serve at the pleasure of the President.
