Now, after 20 years of real and pseudo [grad school] Yalies in the White House, we at long last have a Tiger. I propose that we come up with an 800 phone number to be made available to all Princeton alumni … perhaps 1-800 MS OBAMA or 1-800 MICHELE [misspelled] or 1-800 LINCOLN. This will allow them to make a reservation for the Lincoln bedroom (two-night minimum) at $200 per night. Assuming full occupancy for four years, this comes to $292,000 (twice that if Obama is re-elected).  

All of this would go to Annual Giving. What do you think of this idea? We really ought to get something back for having “served the nation” for so long.
