Original: Happy New Year to those of you waiting for this new intro - just in time for the inauguration on Janurary 20!
I just thought this little mashup was a fun idea - I'm not trying to push a political agenda here! I just thought it'd be fun to imagine if we were to see the grandure of the idealistic "West Wing" in real life.
This was shown on CNN's Showbiz Tonight!! http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/show... about 1:34 into the video. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ What if Barack Obama's top advisors were part of the show The West Wing? As promised, a new video introduction of senior White House advisors, in the style of the tv show, The West Wing. This is a follow up to "The Campaign Trail," which featured top advisors from the 2008 Presidential Election in a West Wing style opening credits, which you can watch here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vUhCIY...
Now, we have the "Real West Wing." In this video, we have [with their TV counterparts]:
David Axelrod - Senior Advisor Joe Biden - Vice President [Hoynes/Russell] Rahm Emanuel - Chief of Staff [Leo McGarry] Robert Gibbs - White House Press Secretarty [CJ Cregg] Valerie Jarrett - Senior Advisor, Assistant to the President for Intergovernmental Affairs, Public Liason Jim Messina - Deputy Chief of Staff [Josh Lyman] Ellen Moran - Communications Director [Toby Ziegler] Michelle Obama - First Lady [Abbey Bartlet] Mona Sutphen - Depty Chief of Staff [Josh Lyman] Barack Obama - President of the United States [Jed Bartlet - or maybe closer to Matt Santos!]
For all the people wondering why Hilary Clinton isn't in here (or any other cabinet members and secretaries), I was thinking about it, but ultimately decided to do it like the show "The West Wing," focusing on the behind the scenes White House staffers rather than cabinet-level members of the government. There were other people I would have liked to feature as well, but there was a lack of pictures or videos of those people. I was compelled to make one of the cabinet - but with 14 positions (plus Obama makes 15), that leaves 3 seconds for each person - which wouldn't be enough to make a quality video.
And I found out that it was shown on MSNBC on Jan. 6, 2009! Thanks to them for showing (and I'd really appreciate it if anyone has a video of it on TV, if they could post it!) Also shown on "Showbiz Tonight" on CNN HN/HLN, Janurary 16, 2009. If anyone has a vid of this, I'd appreciate it too!

Well done! This must've been a lot of work! I think that once you crop the pictures to maintain a consistent aspect ratio, this video will be close to perfect. :)
Wasn't the 'Matthew Santos' character inspired by Obama? They have quite a few things in common...
But I dare not dream that the real administration is anywhere near as good as the fictional one! You just can't beat Jed, Leo, Toby, Sam, Josh, Donna, CJ., etc...
Obama is great, and I love him, but sorry, he couldn't hold a candle to Bartlet. It's not an insult -- it's just like telling a composer they're not as good as Mozart. But I still really like this theme, it actually feels appropriate.
LOL by all means you can call me a 'hater' too. Good homage, no doubt. But if anyone wants to argue that Robert Gibbs has the standing to battle Toby Ziegler, they have the mental capacity of shark. Proudly Republican but pro-Bartlet minus the lefty bullshit from his staff . nObama has a long way to go before he can even hold the match that lights the candle to Josiah Bartlet's character.

Hillary Clinton is a whore
