Opening
( Mr.
President )
- No . . . not the Roosevelt's, not the Truman's,
- not the Eisenhower's no, this is not
that kind of show!
- Not the Kennedy's, no not the
Kennedy's,
- just a family of four, so it couldn't
be the Kennedy's
- with the Kennedy's there'd have to be
more than four
- just a simple American, not one of the
"greats"
- but he happens to be President of
these United States!
