My West Wing feels real all of a sudden.

I loved President Bartlet. If I could have possibly voted for him twice I would have with a gleeful heart. His grace, poise and considerable oratory skill along with his intelligence made him an ideal leader.

All of a sudden, I not only have a real life version. I have an arguably better version. I have a president who can write a stirring speech and give it the way a speech is meant to be given. I watched a speech that could have been in a democratic fantasy but it was real.

As my tiny part of the great American whole, I am suddenly represented by someone I respect. Someone who takes intelligence, oratory skill, grace and humility and makes it LOOK GOOD. My president is classy.
