It is my honor and my personal pleasure to be the first to address you as my fellow Americans. (Applause.) And welcome to your White House. (Applause.) Now, I know this day carries a lot of meaning not only for you, but for your family members and your fellow service members who join you today.
Mypleasure perhaps some day I too will be able to install one in the living room of my Pierre Koenig-designed Case Study House in the Hollywood Hills and invite my supermodel friends over to stand around looking sexily constipated around it.
One of my clients, a not-to-be-named publicly held pharmaceutical company in my area with billions in its bank accounts, takes an evil pleasure in dragging out payments to its suppliers.
