We had to get out of Chicago so quick. Election night happens, suddenly I'm talking to Ben Bernanke and Hank Paulson and trying to figure out whether the world's going to fly apart, and Michelle is trying to figure out where the girls are going to go to school.

The difference is that these guys can stack up a bunch of ammunition in their houses, and that's sort of par for the course.
