Victor Slezak: President Grant

Quotes 

• Cullen Bohannan : You sound like a politician. I never pictured you as one.

  President Grant : Never pictured it myself. The last morning I have a clear memory of is in Appomattox Court House. Yesterday I was watching Robert E. Lee surrender. Today I'm sitting behind a desk in the White House. You know, sometimes you can't avoid the thing you want most, even if getting it is detestable. As much as I pretend I hate it, the detestable thing I want is power, and power means politics.

• President Grant : In politics, nothing is ever off the table.
