Chuck : [During a mock debate] Mr. President, the country was in shock after the attempt on your life but its prayers were answered when it was clear you would survive: that said many Americans have expressed concern that you are not fully recovered and you may not be strong enough to serve for four more years. How would you respond to those who make such claims?

Wayne Palmer : [Interrupts him, to their campaign staff] hold on, could we pause the video please? Get ready to play it back
Wayne Palmer : [Walking onto the debate stage] don't dignify that question with a defensive response
President David Palmer : I didn't realize stating that the facts was being defensive
Wayne Palmer : They bring up the assassination attempt fine, let them. But you remind everyone it was your Administration that not only arrested the man behind the attempt on your life but you also exposed his organization and put a stop to his people as well. All this while you were in this so called "weakened state," and Keeler would be lucky to have a fraction of you energy: that's what you tell them
