If we can’t have Obama for President still, at least I can go to my happy place and watch President Bartlett as President when all else fails. I love the West Wing…and Martin Sheen isn’t so bad himself. I wish they brought that show back in some updated form. Younger generations need to learn what the Presidency and gov’t are really about…or should be about. That show was a basic civics lesson at times and yes, a little overly-idealistic…but that’s what this screwed up country needs right now. Not President PeePee Pervert.
I’ve been listening to the podcast West Wing Weekly. http://thewestwingweekly.com
Many of the original cast members are invited guests (including Aaron Sorkin). If you’re interested go back to the first one. Great fun.
THE WEST WING WEEKLY is an episode-by-episode discussion of one of television’s most beloved shows, co-hosted by one of its stars, Joshua Malina, along with Hrishikesh Hirway of Song Exploder.
and, sorry Pres. Obama, but I agree: https://twitter.com/JoshMalina/status/830068026200379392
Ahhhh, those were simpler times…What am I saying? W. was President, and not one, but two wars were going on then.
I know it started when Bubba was still Prez. but it always felt like a better escape when Junior and the Bush League came into office.
I’ll try to check out that podcast. I bookmarked it.
