Chapter Nine Situation Room in the White House

After pouring himself some water from the pitcher, the President opens the meeting saying, "Ladies and Gentlemen, the NSA and CIA directors are going to make a presentation regarding the escalation of Iran's nuclear intentions.

"When this presentation is completed, I want each and every one of you to comment on three things.

"What additional means of dialog can we generate to convince Iran to abide by their previous non-proliferation agreements?

"If Iran persists in going ahead with their hard line tactics enriching uranium and possibly developing nuclear weapons, what military means can we use to stop them?

"Last, if we are to take a military course of action, what results are you expecting? What kind of retaliation do you foresee the Iranians taking?"

SECRETARY OF STATE JIMMY CARTER:
Mr. President, I must tell you my unusual idea. You ran your campaign as a champion of change and creativity.
Mr. President, what if we gave Iran Hawaii as an incentive to settle these matters with us?

PRESIDENT OBAMA:
That'a brilliant Jimmy. You know when I appointed you, the Jewish community got very upset. But I think we're OK with this decision...there are no Jews in Hawaii!

CHIEF OF STAFF MICHAEL MOORE:
Mr. President, I think there are Jews in Hawaii.

PRESIDENT OBAMA:
Oh. Still, I like the idea. Hillary, what do you think?

VICE PRESIDENT HILLARY:
I'm feeling sick.

PRESIDENT OBAMA:
Feel better Hillary.
[to Jimmy:] Didn't she get sick the other day when I gave Hizbollah those interest free loans. Hm.
Honey, YOU decide.

FIRST LADY:
Couldn't we just give them Texas?
[Hillary vomits]

SECRETARY OF STATE JIMMY CARTER:

You gave Texas to Mexican immigrants.

PRESIDENT OBAMA:
Oh.
