==Explanation==
 
{{incomplete|[[User:Novotvor]] has discovered 2 new comics, [[ibm_hc_2]] and [[ibm_hc_3]]. They do not have a title, so the filename is used instead. '''They have never been published.''' For more info, see [[Category talk: A Smarter Planet]]. To discuss and coordinate, only use [[Category talk: A Smarter Planet]]. Explain the joke and the discovery in the Explanation, using all the information you can find (also, add this comic to the relevant categories).
 
*Learn more about the discovery: [[Category talk: A Smarter Planet]]
 
*Learn about the "A Smarter Planet" comic series: [[:Category:A Smarter Planet]]

This comic was created by [[Randall Munroe|Randall]] after a special request from {{w|IBM}}'s [http://asmarterplanet.com A Smarter Planet blog], which now redirects to IBM's Think blog's homepage ([https://web.archive.org/web/20161119052748/http://asmarterplanet.com archive]). This and the other [[:Category:A Smarter Planet|A Smarter Planet]] comic, [[Conservation]], are not part of the regular numbered series of comics, but both of them used to be featured on [https://xkcd.com/asmarterplanet xkcd.com/asmarterplanet] (now defunct, [https://web.archive.org/web/20190102070937/https://xkcd.com/asmarterplanet/ archive]). Each comic on that page linked to their respective blog posts on IBM's site.
 
 
 
This comic talks about someone who spent two years creating medical records databases. Clearly, the person being examined has modified the medical records database the doctor is using, making it say he was president for a full term (four years).
 
 
 
This idea crops up again in [[2756: Qualifications]].
 
 
 
==Transcript==
 
:[A bald doctor with a forehead mirror is holding a piece of paper in front of Cueball, who is sitting on a cushion.]
 
:Doctor: It says here you spent 2 years building medical records databases…
 
:Doctor: and then four years as President of the United States?
 
:Doctor: I’m sorry, Mr. President, I didn’t recognize you.
