Quotes 

• President Josiah Bartlet : I was wrong. I was, I was just... I was wrong. Come on, we know that. Lots of times we don't know what right or wrong is, but lots of times we do, and come on... this is one. I may not have had sinister intent at the outset, but there were plenty of opportunities for me to make it right. No one in government takes responsibility for anything any more. We foster, we obfuscate, we rationalize. "Everybody does it", that's what we say. So we come to occupy a moral safe house where everyone's to blame, so no one's guilty.

  President Josiah Bartlet : *I'm to blame.* I was wrong.

• President Josiah Bartlet : Look, I'm really not going to talk to you about my underwear.

  Sam Seaborn : That's... disappointing, Mr. President.
