Kim Blanck - A Meeting with President Wilson Lyrics
June 5th, 1913, our first meeting with President Wilson.
Ladies, you have my utmost admiration.
But as a man of my word,
I must honor the promises of my campaign.
Currency revision.
At -at -at. Tariff reform, sir.
Oh, yes.
Tariff reform.
Issues affecting all Americans.
But Mr. President.
Here she goes.
Governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed.
Such a bright young girl.
To not understand your administration has no right to legislate tariff or any other reform without the consent of women.
Forgive me, ladies.
I'm afraid I have no opinion on the merits of the subject as it's entirely new to me.
We'll be glad to educate you.
Sir. Sir.
This will receive my most careful consideration.
April 6th, 1914.
Another excuse from President Wilson.
Forgive me, ladies.
The economy.
August 8th, 1914.
Forgive me, ladies. Congress.
May 12th, 1915.
Forgive me, ladies. Lusitania.
June 1st, 1916.
Tariff reform.
Hold on, sir.
You said that exact same thing three years ago.
My other time flies.
You're right. Indeed, it is an election year again.
I must turn my concern to earning the votes of the country's people once more.
But perhaps I'll put in a good word for suffrage in my campaign speeches this summer.
Excellent. We'd love to draft that language with you.
My chief of staff will escort you to the door and, darling, won't you give them a tour?
Now take care, ladies.
