The American presidential election (67)

“The West Wing” was my all-time favourite television programme and the election battle between a minority Democratic candidate Matt Santos and a maverick Republican candidate Arnie Vinick beautifully anticipated the real-life contest between Barack Obama and John McCain.
Jeb Bartlet was the best President the US never had and hopefully Barack Obama will be one of the best Presidents America ever had. Suppose the two were to meet now? What would Jeb say to Barack? Speculate no more – it’s all here.

    All I can say is your excitement at the script must have got to you.
    The President is Jed (Josiah) Barltet.
    Tsk tsk…

    You’re right, Philip – I am excited and I did make a mistake. I must be so fearful of the Bush family that I had Jeb Bush in my mind.
    On the other hand, you were obviously exited too since you misspelt Bartlet!
