Won't it be great to be proud of your President again?

Won't it be great to have good people running the government again?

Won't it be great to have people who care about the little guy running things?

Won't it be great to have people who think the Constitution is EVERYTHING, not just some piece of paper and people who would throw themselves under a bus rather than lie to us?

This is why I loved the West Wing so much and why I'm going to be so happy at 12:01PM on 1/20/09!

2. Barack Obama Was Model for West Wing's Santos

From the NPR article cited below:

"This story proves that truth is stranger than fiction, because if you made this story up, no one would believe you.

The final season of The West Wing centered around "a young, charismatic candidate from an ethnic minority , daring to take on an establishment workhorse with a promise to transcend race and heal America's partisan divide."

Hmmm. Sounds like something I've heard about ... maybe that's why the campaign of Sen. Barack Obama seems like deja vu all over again. But it turns out to be less like a case of life imitating art. It's more like art imitating life. The Guardian reports that one of the show's main writers 'fessed up - the character of Santos was based on a certain young, idealistic newly elected senator from Illinois. Yes, that one."
