Spoiler Alert: The following quiz references one very significant plot point from season two of House of Cards. If you haven’t caught up on all the political backbiting, do it now—every episode is streaming on Netflix. If you have, then let’s proceed. He’s done it. Frank Underwood has weaseled his way into the Oval Office. Yes, the disgraceful antihero who spits out Southern charm and DC slime in equal measure is now the leader of the small screen’s free world. And we couldn’t be happier.Even President Barack Obama’s a fan, teasing that he wishes his own government were as ruthlessly efficient. And though Obama shares little in common with the fictional mudslinger, the two do share an affinity for clever metaphors and idioms. To celebrate the show’s return, we thought we’d play a little game called Who Said It: Underwood or Obama? Go ahead. See if you can match the statesman to his sound bite. Then test your knowledge of DC city hacks and Capital speak.  1. “If I had to name my greatest strength, I guess it would be my humility. Greatest weakness: It’s possible that I’m a little too awesome.” Obama Underwood 2. “It’s not the beginning of the story that I fear. It’s not knowing how it will end.” Obama Underwood 3. “If you’re walking down the right path and you’re willing to keep walking, eventually you’ll make progress.” Obama Underwood 4. “It’s a boy-eat-dog world out there.” Obama Underwood 5. “Stubbornness is far more costly than obedience.” Obama Underwood
