December 25th, Christmas Day. The collapse of the Soviet Union is the greatest gift from God to the United States.
Inside the White House office.
Laughter and cheer filled the room.
James Dan Quayle was laughing so hard that tears were nearly streaming down his face; he tried to maintain his composure.
But...
The thought of the Soviet Union, which had been waging the Cold War against the United States for over half a century, now gone—and during his "term" no less—was simply too much. Even though he was just an acting president, he might still be considered one of the greatest U.S. presidents in future evaluations.
That alone made him want to laugh.
The office was full of high-ranking officials—CIA Director, FBI Director, Secretary of State, and others—all beaming with joy.
"From now on, the threat hovering over our heads is completely gone. The world belongs to the United States!"
James Dan Quayle shouted loudly.
The people in the office, of course, respectfully applauded.
