What Eight Words Do You Say to the President?

What Eight Words Do You Say to the President?

The BBC introduced me as "former Clinton adviser Bradford DeLong." I protested that I had "only spoken eight words to the guy in my life." And now people are emailing me with suggestions as to what those eight words must have been, so I figure I might as well make it an open contest. Any more suggestions (keep it clean, please)?
