I wish the people grumping about Amy, or making a vomitous suggestion that domestic violence is the answer, would consider this for one millisecond-SHE'S RIGHT! These "incentives" are garbage, and the claim she's screwing the party makes me ill, the party is screwing women, screwing children, screwing the poor. Amy, Toby and (most of the time) CJ are the people who put integrity ahead of politics, we need this in our Party, in our nation. Badly. As for "he was working" newflash--so was she.
@PrisonerNumber9653 Agree. Josh knew what he was getting into. He forgets that she's someone who's entire life revolves around these principles. Of course she's not going to compromise them.
@PrisonerNumber9653 I don't agree but I can't prove your wrong and neither can you prove that I'm wrong.
There is something called politics and sometimes you have to bite the bullet to get something you want.
Even if you are correct the worst thing that would happen is the money would be spent and you have no positive results and also no negative results as well and you get the Child Care program the money that is needed..
@PrisonerNumber9653 She's wrong and here's why, as explained by a TwOP recapper: "The incentives aren't punitive. Single mothers on welfare can roll their eyes at the idiot bureaucrats who make the idiot suggestions that they marry some idiot they don't love, and they won't get penalized for refusing. And since there was a billion-dollar boost in the total, this same single woman would get more assistance for her children than she would have before the compromise."
Amy is, I think, the most annoying character on the west wing. And she totally screwed Josh, the party and the President on this one. Even her voice irritates me, all nasal and not-mobing-her-lips-when-she-talks
I really wanted Josh to just sock Amy in the face during this scene. She shows absolutely no respect whatsoever for him as a human being. If he did something like that to her she would be screaming at him for being a controlling chauvinist. I am female, but I have no respect for people like Amy, who just barrel along without so much as listening to a single word anyone has to say.
I think Josh has his fare share of baggage too lol but thats exactly right, politics always came first for them both so they could never just be together =( Although if it had worked they would've been DCs power couple. Amy and Josh's combined IQ would be off the charts!
This is precisely why Josh and Amy would never have worked as a couple. This political sideshow would always take center stage between them no matter where they were. And what's more she must have known that this would piss Josh off and she did it in a second. She didn't care.
Amy is hot hot hot, but she comes with too much baggage and need to dominate. Spirit is fine. Spunk is good, too. But this is too much.
This scene is exactly the reason why men shouldnt marry THESE kinds of women...

If I were Josh, I would have dumped her sauce all over the floor to get my phone back (or at least to make a point, if the phone stopped working).

I never could stand her. Had he done the same things to her people would have been up in arms at her lack of ethics.

Okay...cutting the phone cord would have been the last straw for me. Nobody messes with me when I'm working.
