As much as I love this episode The President would not be allowed to be this spontaneous and they certainly would not let him out of the car known as The Beast. The S.S. would simply not allow it.
u shud read that back..but since you ask - I dislike propaganda, I dislike watching a finely-written show like WW and constantly detecting pro-israeli propaganda because Aaron Sorkin suffers from a dual-loyalty crisis.
I find it amusing how u circumvent the possibility of ration prejudice and go straight to 'I'm a poor human being' Apartheid Israel is conducting the longest military occupation known n its not by accident mention of israel/pal is missing from the Isaac/Ishamel post 911 episode.
I remember the first time seeing this, getting very annoyed at the handheld cameras - big shift from the first 4 seasons visually...(though it works well in the season 6/7 campaigns...) Guess I got used to it eventually though I miss some of the older steady shots
@bornbillsmith I completely agree with you. Unfortunately there are a lot of people in this world not in their right mind. Look at the accusations placed at the foot of the current president. I don't mean things like how he's handled the economy I mean absurd things like him being a terrorist trained from birth to this position or him not being Christian or where he was born.
@bornbillsmith Its interesting to note that Aaron Sorkin's paymasters, AIPAC and other israeli lobbyist groups got Netanyahu to come to washington and essentially go head-to-head with Obama and rebuke him over criticising settlement building, they also showed up Joe Biden during a visit to Israel. "Leader of the free world" is a tired lie. never forget who runs the US.
well, Steve Jobs did run the US, but he's dead now: infected with a secret virus invented by scientists bought and paid for by the Rothschilds.
Now that he's gone the secret alliance between Elvis Presley, Micheal Jackson and Freddie Mercury are gaining more and more power everyday.
They each faked their own deaths and are working in the background to control the media and make sure Rick Santorum and Sarah Palin win the next presidential election.
@IronChefWannabe You're either too stupid to know about AIPAC hegemony in Washington or you just don't want to admit it, probably because you're a Jew. You can take the tack of blowing up my point to absurd proportions by way of avoiding the factual non-controversial elements, but we both know the truth. WW viewers are a tad cleverer than ANTM so cut the crap.AIPAC is the 2nd most powerful lobby in the US. it controls both upper n lower houses n no prez is getting elected by going against them.
I agree with the other comments; we need the end! The brilliance of this scene is the Speaker so completely panics & stalls, keeping them waiting for so long, that eventually Bartlett leaves...w/out the Speaker having ever come out of his office. I loved the fact they showed Jed was willing to swallow his pride & step up, even tho it was going to weaken his position more than it already was. What was best for the country mattered more. By playing politics, the Speaker screwed up.

I love this scene, my only complaint is this.. There is NO way Ron Butterfield would have let POTUS walk down Pennsy without himself at POTUS's side.

ISRAELI SORKIN? What the hell is your problem boy? Don't like Israelis? Don't like a religion? Don't like good writing or good tv?

Season 5 of TWW was pretty weak. But this and "The Supremes" were quality episodes worthy of the first four seasons.

Go figure a courageous Democrat tries to show up and the Republicans cower in their office rather than showing that they are more than a mouthpiece.
