Don't you wish, or hope, that within the rooms of the White House, whether Democrats or Republicans roam there, that conversations such as these take place from time to time. We deserve a presidential administration that recognizes the foundation of government is not poll numbers or political partisanship, but the people. Don't pander to us. Don't ignore us. But do good on behalf of us. Don't you wish a reality of good government wasn't something we had to fictionalize.

@ytorrejone,

I am curious about what specifically you were referring to when you stated that humans will never cease to amaze you.

[WillBraden]

@ytorrejone And you will never cease to amaze real humans. Moron.

@ytorrejone Man, you are so clever and above this. How we all envy you.

I make it a point never to disagree with Toby when he's right, Mr President.

Classic Sorkin, God I miss this show.

Thanks for adding this,

I was actually looking for this clip earlier in the week, to post as a response to "Adler Online". He had a several comments about liberals being for the state and against the citizens. This clip illustrates that Liberals believe that the state and its citizens are one. A government for the people and by the people.
