Bartlet to Obama: What's Next?

Aaron Sorkin wrote a bit in the New York Times today...what if Obama sought the advice of our greatest fictional President?


You can find the article here, which includes a good old Sorkin monologue, a defense of the phrase "elite", and a great reference to the power of the Christmas episode.

From the piece:

OBAMA So what about hope? Chuck it for outrage and put-downs?

BARTLET No. You’re elite, you can do both. Four weeks ago you had the best week of your campaign, followed — granted, inexplicably — by the worst week of your campaign. And you’re still in a statistical dead heat. You’re a 47-year-old black man with a foreign-sounding name who went to Harvard and thinks devotion to your country and lapel pins aren’t the same thing and you’re in a statistical tie with a war hero and a Cinemax heroine.
