"I never expected to work in the White House, ever. I was just looking for a job until I could afford to go to college, I applied for a job as a messenger but was sent up to meet Josh Lyman. I did not understand what was going on, I was meeting the Deputy Chief of Staff and he was offering me a job, I was going to work for the President of the United States - Jed Bartlet. I became President Bartlet's 'Body Man', his personal assistant and the guy with the hardest job in the White House (or at least that's what Josh says).
"I got to work for an amazing man who was intelligent, kind and treated me like a son. I met and dated Zoey Bartlet, the President's youngest daughter who is now my wife. Jed wasn't happy about Zoey dating and talked about building a dungeon to lock her in."
There was a ripple of laughter from the audience.
"Eventually I started taking evening classes here at Georgetown towards my law degree while working at the White House by day. I graduated in 2004 and remained working for President Bartlet until the end of his second term in 2006. During my years in the White House I loved my job most of the time, I became a 'big brother' to a troubled teenager who reminded me of how I could have turned out but that in itself is another story. I had a brief prank war with Press Secretary C.J. Cregg and was the person called by the police when Delores Landingham was killed in her car crash. Mrs Landingham had been President Bartlet's assistant for twenty years through thick and thin, she was one of my mentors and still miss her to this day.
"Since leaving the White House I have married Zoey, we have one son Dean. Both Zoey and I practice Law in Rhode Island although recently I have been working on the 'Seaborn For America' campaign - 2018.
"I want to remind all of you that your vote, and the votes of your peers are helping to increase the number of registered voters below the age of 25. Remember to come to the Rock the Vote rally we are holding next week, bring a friend, buy a badge or a t-shirt, come and have fun. If you have free time and want to work on a political campaign we are hiring for the east coast offices, come and see me after questions and I'll give you a number to call.
"Working in the White House was one of the most exhilarating and terrifying experience of my life but I would not change it for anything. I have friends that I regard as family and my father-in-law is President Bartlet. Thank you for listening. Questions?"
Charlie relaxed as he spoke, remembering what it was like to be nineteen and working for the leader of the free world. He just hoped that Sam's campaign was as successful as they all wanted it to be.
