They also have an opportunity to meet President Obama in a question and answer session, and to everyone's surprise, it's Veronica who asks the President how to help the economy. Taking the President's message about job creation to heart, Veronica puts Archie to work at Lodge Mansion... conveniently forgetting to tell her dad!
