Let Barlet Be Bartlet ending !!

[luiman77]

would someone tell me what the music is in the background??

[thedude1325]

@luiman77 I've been desperately searching for it. If I find it, I'll send a message to you.

[WelshBagger]

I serve at the pleasure of Aaron Sorkin

[rococonroll]

This is easily one of the greatest moments in television.

[babytweeze85]

Charlie is the President's body man, he goes where the President goes. Also he's not going to be in a Senior Staff meeting.

[chrissline77]

How come John Spencer didn't ask the black guy how he felt? Doesn't he serve at the pleasure of the president?

[AnimaTempli101]

@chrissline77 Because he wasn't in the room?

[chrissline77]

@AnimaTempli101 .....Yeah he wasn't in the room which is a shame.

[MrSatireTube]

The look of total trust and gratitude at the end....

[jamie32501]

EVERYTHING'S more important than re-election

[rafastil]

it;s nice to see gus before he became pharm rep...

[Kirruth]

John Spencer, we miss you!

[NickyLess]

Hell I'm British and I'd gladly serve at the pleasure of President Bartlet.

[hanscombe72]

I serve at the pleasure of the President......

Bloody magnificent!!!

[VegasRolo30]

Mr President......This is what we want. You Won the election big time, it's TIME!!

[jamie32501]

"We're gonna raise the level of public debate in this country... Let that be our legacy." Never has this been further from the truth. :/

[nascarkraz]

Let Obama Be Obama!

[cullenblack]

Send the link to the white house. Spam them with the video. whitehouse gov/contact

[pacmansays]

Obama this is why we voted for you, we want you to do this..

[Paulintheoh8]

@pacmansays Good luck with that one!

[tribalinsight]

"We're going to raise the level of public debate in this country. And let that be our legacy." Chilling. 

[KarlBonner1982]

Right about now Mr. Obama should watch this video. Good advice on what to do about the Tea Party agenda.

[Nighthawk186]

Sam's not wearing a white shirt?!?

[mlc2005]

And the scary part is that the West Wing managed to have hundreds of brilliant, powerful moments like the one above. Truly the greatest show of all time, esp. the first four seasons.

[studentofsmith]

Honesty is a risky strategy in politics since no matter what you say you'll piss somebody off but sometimes the public finds it so refreshing that they'll vote for you anyway.

Besides, you have to ask yourself why you went into politics in the first place. Was political power an end in itself or did you entertain some hopes of making a difference? And how can you make a difference if you compromise to the point of being ineffectual?

[phreakoutaston]

'We are going to raise the level of public debate in this country.'

Wow.

[percivalconstantine]

If only this happened in the Obama administration.

[Reqrezentin]

So cheesy

[turquoiseskull]

It's the difference between "keeping your job" and being a leader.

[WILLIAMCOOKE]

Somebody please share this with Obama.

[phreakoutaston]

Thank you for that comment.

[umbe18]

Right!

[phreakoutaston]

Politicians need to worry less about being politicians and more about being statesmen.

[Sonnabend00]

@WILLIAMCOOKE Better hurry. He wont be President much longer.

[BBBoggs]

@WILLIAMCOOKE

He has no convictions to stir.

[MegaCrevice]

@WILLIAMCOOKE Obama repealed DADT. Obama hot sweeping healthcare reform passed (president Bartlet did none of these). Watch the entire scene and you'll see what I mean.

Truth is often better than fiction.

[joshatkins94]

@MegaCrevice yeah but it's also often scarier than fiction. congress repealed DADT with the President's blessing and HCR was the GOP 1993 mandate plan.

[MegaCrevice]

@joshatkins94 You are complaining as to how these things passed??

In The West Wing, DADT was not repealed and Health Care Reform never happened. Saying you'd rather have the whole token instead of a half-measure is a good slogan, but in the end it gets you one thing........ nothing.

[joshatkins94]

@MegaCrevice I didn't say nothing was better, but the ACA is a centrist bill that's in the process of being gutted by House Republicans and right-wing judges, and the President and the Democrats are gonna have to defend an individual mandate they never really wanted. The public option had massive public support but the Pres. didn't push hard for it. President Obama got elected on way more than repealing DADT and I get that the GOP are intransigent but he could be a little more LBJ than Clinton.

[elmundopasa1]

@WILLIAMCOOKE It's gotten better.

[Karthos1000]

@WILLIAMCOOKE Someone has!

[lombar26]

at 1:23...when Leo says "That sound allright to you Josh?" is it just me or does it sound like he has an accent...I can't place it but I don't really hear it anywhere else except that one line....is it just me?

[hutt359]

It's his Chicago accent. Leo was supposed to be an old hand Chicago democrat. John Spencer didn't go to the accent well all the time but he did use it on and off, through out the whole series. It was such a natural thing that I don't think many noticed it all that much.

[agentcox]

John Spencer's smile at 2:12 says it all. One of the most amazing moments in television.

[grumpytosnowwhite]

I got such cold shivers from this ending...one of the most phenomenal moments of the whole show...you can feel the power of it just bursting forth, riht from "I'm tired of feeling like this..." Pretty much sums up the whole point of the show.

[mcjecca]

This is the moment when The West Wing went from a good show to a great show. :)

[Rotarrin]

I concur. It was this scene that caused me to officially become a West Wing addict. :)

[toohideousfortv]

this moment was phenomenal and sums up how amazing the west wing is

[halifaxboyns]

powerful I should say.

[halifaxboyns]

The music in this scene makes it all the more bowerful.

[Rotarrin]

Thanks a lot for posting this. I love the ending to this episode -- very stirring!
