1. Who said, "Nothing like surrounding yourself with the best and the brightest, Charlie" in this episode?

Answer: President Bartlet

Charlie informed the President that C.J, Josh, Sam and Toby didn't know it was raining.
2. Sam remembered to change the opening line of the President's speech to the "The United Organization of Trout Fishermen".

Answer: False

Toby told Sam to change the opening line if it started to rain but Sam forgot. The President didn't pick up Sam's mistake and began his speech, "As I look out over this magnificent vista". Sam then slams his notebook together in frustration.
3. Who wrote "a memo outlining the weaknesses and vulnerabilities of the Bartlet administration and mapping out a strategy to defeat him for renomination" in this episode?

Answer: Mandy

Mandy informed C.J about it and the senior staff went mad. However, Danny pointed out to C.J, "You knew she was working for Russell, and you knew why. You knew she had to have written the memo. Why wasn't it the first thing you asked for when you hired her? "Mandy, tell us everything you think we're doing wrong." 'Cause you knew what she was gonna say. You knew she was right. You knew there was nothing you could do about it. You guys are stuck in the mud, around here, and none of it is the fault of the press. I know you're frustrated.

But it ain't nothing compared to the frustration of the people who voted for you".
4. Who was Margaret's friend from the President's Council on Physical Fitness?

Answer: Lynette

Margaret mucked up the e-mail in this episode by sending an e-mail to all the assistants about the calorie information in a raisin muffin and someone hit reply and it shut everything down.

Answer: Danny

C.J found out Danny was going to write about Mandy's memo and he told her, "She's a key player in the Democratic Party, and she says the President is staggeringly vulnerable. And that may not be good news for you, C.J., but it's news".
7. What percentage did Toby tell Leo "CNN/USA Today" puts the President's job approval at in this episode?

Answer: 42%

Leo was surprised that the job approval went down so dramatically. He said, "We didn't do anything last week". Toby replied, "I'll say" and Leo said, "Toby, when you start thinking about jumping ship, you'll let me know, right?" Toby was upset that Leo questioned his loyalty.
8. Complete the quote: "These people who would walk into fire if you told them to. These people who showed up to ___. These people who showed up to fight".

9. Who came up with the strategy "Let Bartlet Be Bartlet"?

Answer: Leo

Leo wrote this on a pad for the President and they decided they were going to do things their way from now on. Their first step would be "telling the Hill the President has named his nominees for the F.E.C".
10. Who said, "I serve at the pleasure of President Bartlet"?

Answer: Sam

Leo told the staff that "we're gonna lose some of these battles, and we might even lose the White House, but we're not gonna be threatened by issues. We're gonna put them front and center. We're gonna raise the level of public debate in this country, and let that be our legacy". Leo then asked if that was all right with everyone and they all in different ways firmly declared that they serve at the pleasure of the President.
