Tony Goldwyn: Fitzgerald Grant

Quotes 

• [first lines] 

  President Fitzgerald Grant : My fellow Americans, now that congress has fulfilled its constitutional duty, completing their fair and thorough investigation into my administration, I come before you to say how proud and humbled I am to be your president, and to say how sorry I am. To my family, to Mellie, to my children, to every American, most of all, to those parents out there. Over the last few weeks, the news coming into your homes raised questions from your children, uncomfortable questions related to my personal life, questions on topics you may have been forced to answer too soon. As your leader, as a father, I am truly sorry for that. I've asked the lord for forgiveness. I ask the same of you. And I will work tirelessly to be worthy of that forgiveness by focusing on making your schools better, your healthcare more affordable, and our country safer and more productive. Thank you.
