I appreciate your efforts, Joe, I really do. But I've already given an acceptance speech and put out a statement. You can read it online if you like. (You'll have to turn your computer on, at the back – the switch is on the left- hand side.) Gibbs, Axelrod and I were unanimous that we had to take the humility line, to minimise the negative response from the right. So unfortunately it wouldn't have been appropriate to go with your suggestion that we remind everyone about the time I got Henry Louis Gates and that Boston policeman who arrested him to share a beer. I know everyone called it the "beer summit", but it wasn't quite Begin-Sadat, you know? Thanks. BHO

Hey, buddy! Easy now. You might have sorted out the Oslo Accords, but don't forget I got Henry Louis Gates to drink a beer with that Boston cop who arrested him. We must, surely, encourage the seedlings of peace wherever we can? OK bye. Barack

No need for all the capital letters. And you're entitled to your opinion, but trying to crash my Rose Garden acceptance speech was totally out of order. My Secret Service guys will be watching out for you next time. Barack

Uh, thanks. I think. I mean, yeah. You'd know, I guess.
