I guess his occupation wasn't mentioned.

Once again a lifeline used on Q1. Although all four have waterfronts, only San Francisco (IMO) is known for its waterfront.

Carter had some installed and Reagan removed them. Now that Obama has put them back, I suppose President Palin will remove them again.

I'd have used JTQ here - it seems like a good question for the audience but I'd be afraid that A and C would get similar responses.
