			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I read this article back in the day and have since spent time looking for it. Aaron Sorkin a real writer wrote a short screen play of what he thinks would happen if the fictional Bartlet met Obama. so here it is.</p>
<p>Now that he’s finally fired up on the soup-line economy, Barack Obama knows he can’t fade out again. He was eager to talk privately to a Democratic ex-president who could offer more fatherly wisdom — not to mention a surreptitious smoke — and less fraternal rivalry. I called the “West Wing” creator Aaron Sorkin (yes, truly) to get a read-out of the meeting.</p>
<p>This is what he wrote:</p>
<p><span class="italic">BARACK OBAMA knocks on the front door of a 300-year-old New Hampshire farmhouse while his Secret Service detail waits in the driveway. The door opens and OBAMA is standing face to face with former President JED BARTLET.</span></p>
<p><span class="bold">BARTLET</span> Senator.</p>
<p><span class="bold">OBAMA</span> Mr. President.</p>
<p><span class="bold">BARTLET</span> You seem startled.</p>
<p><span class="bold">OBAMA</span> I didn’t expect you to answer the door yourself.</p>
<p><span class="bold">BARTLET</span> I didn’t expect you to be getting beat by John McCain and a Lancôme rep who thinks “The Flintstones” was based on a true story, so let’s call it even</p>
<p>rest of it <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2008/09/21/opinion/21dowd-sorkin.html?_r=3&amp;em&amp;oref=slogin" target="_blank">here</a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In honor of the end of the election years&#8230;I thought it only fitting to show you the many facebook status updates I saw this morning.</p>
<p>Steven Lamphear can has Bush out of office now? Kthnxbye&#8230;</p>
<p>someone tell me again what is supposed to be my motivation for working&#8230;shouldn&#8217;t a check or something be coming soon?</p>
<p>lready feels oppressed and wonders why people think socialism is a good thing&#8230;</p>
<p>knows God can and will use the absolute worst to bring the most good for His glory and our good.</p>
<p>is going to bed and kissing Capitalism goodnight&#8230;forever.</p>
<p>is Ashamed of America!!!!</p>
<p><span class="status_body">is remembering, &#8220;The LORD is on my side; I will not fear. What can man do to me?&#8230;It is better to trust in the LORD, than to put confidence in man.&#8221; Psalm 118.</span></p>
<p><span class="status_body">is glad we have a president today&#8230;lived in Florida the year of the hanging chads.</span></p>
<p><span class="status_body">finds it funny that that McCain spent 300 million on the campaign Obama spent 600 million. For a job that pays 400k. And we wonder why the economy is like it is.</span></p>
<p><span class="status_body">is getting my number to be served with my handout &#8211; I mean baillout, too!</span></p>
<p><span class="status_body">is so incredibly proud to be an American and is praying for President-elect Obama.</span></p>
<p><span class="status_body">is proud to be an American and believes in her country&#8230;and no, not for the first time in her adult life.</span></p>
<p><span class="status_body">knows that God wasn&#8217;t suprised by anything that has happened today, and knows that the future still rests firmly in His hands!</span></p>
<p>just saw a video of obama mocking the Bible&#8230;pray for our new President.</p>
<p>Well, this is definitely a night of history&#8230; we&#8217;ll see what kind of history as time goes along. I&#8217;m all for hugs &amp; normal tv. No more bashing commercials. And hey &#8211; if that dude can get my house sold, that would be a massive surprise!</p>
<p><span class="status_body"> Knows that Jehovah is my God and my times are in His hands.</span></p>
<p>s waiting to see if all the folks who said they would move to Canada really will. And if you do, goodbye because I don&#8217;t want a flake like you in my country!</p>
<p><span class="status_body">why is america full of idiots?????</span></p>
<p><span class="status_body"> is praying for an America that can put their faith and hope in Jesus Christ. What a joy would it be to see a nation praising His name. .</span></p>
<p><span class="status_body">&#8216;s hope is in Christ, not Obama.</span></p>
<p>apologizes for his mis-spelling of critique, he doesn&#8217;t pay attention to detail when the end of a democracy is in sight.</p>
<p>tomorrow we will move forward is an opinion, nice try though! sorry you took so much of your time to look that up just to be wrong.</p>
<p>i especially love the folks that say they want to leave the u.s. and go to canada because it will be &#8220;socialist&#8221; when obama takes office. do they not realize that canada is socialized????</p>
<p><span class="status_body">prays for rest and clarity for president bush and compassion and strength for president-elect obama.</span></p>
<p><span class="status_body">is give it to God.</span></p>
<p><span class="status_body">MAY GOD&#8217;S WILL BE DONE IN AMERICA!!&#8230;MAY WE BLESS HIM THROUGH THE OUTCOME.</span></p>
<p><span class="status_body">is proud to be an American tonight! Congratulations, Obama!!</span></p>
<p><span class="status_body">is fully relying on God for strength, stamina, unity and peace.</span></p>
<p><span class="status_body">is getting ready to hear our new anthem, &#8220;Praise The One, Obama&#8230;&#8221;.</span></p>
<p>Ok there you go.  Hey if you got some good ones send them my way.  You can put them int the dear drewbox or just enter them to the right where it says click here under the Note For Drew. Peace</p>
<p>edit:</p>
<p>We were too depressed to leave the house tonight. We watched non-news television instead. Scare Tactics to be exact. But let&#8217;s have an unpolitical hang-out soon.</p>
<p><span class="status_body"> is really happy that we can change anything in this country that isn&#8217;t working.</span></p>
<p><span class="status_body">is just wondering, now that there is a black president, we can finally get rid of affirmative action right? Also, now Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton can stop?</span></p>
<p><span id="profile_status">went to the gas station this morning and still had to pay&#8230;now I have to work so more people can benefit from my paycheck</span></p>
<p><span class="status_body">is worried about the election today.  I still can&#8217;t believe people are actually going to vote for Obama.  God help us.</span></p>

<p>Sunday continues to be the most segregated times of the week.   Every sunday morning our respected races go to our church. We take our places and talk about changing the world.  I think we would chalk it up to we all worship different so this is our way of worshiping next to people who  and feel like us.  Enlightened  ones realize that all black, chinese, white, etc. dont all think the same.  That&#8217;s about as stupid as you are trying to talk black or why you trying to act white.  Take the company I work for. When I am asked hey can you take more pictures of minorities to show all races I say &#8220;well I would be taking pictures of the same groups&#8221; and then I say they dont come.  For the few that do come you may ask do I go out of my way to encourage them and welcome them. I  would ask welcome them to what.  I have pitched people of color groups on the stage only to be told that our guest arent into that stuff.  I almost went too far.  I have lived in a weird sort of world all my life.  I was born in Jamaica to great parents that divorced when I was in I think 6th grade it was uneventful. I dont even remember it. Anyway they taught me to be me.  Never pushed who I should be with or even question me about who I dated.  That is another story. Anyway I never understand why people are so scared to talk about race. Its usually people who never had to deal with it so they ask what&#8217;s the big deal. When when you&#8217;ve been called a nigger on the basketball court you end up having to deal with it.  When I walk in downtown birmingham you can feel it.  Race is still factor.  Every time you that hair stands up on the back of your neck when you take the wrong turn in a neighborhood. Race is still a factor.  Our company does try. They really do. I am proud of that. But there is still room.  That goes from the music we put on the stage to the people we have speak to students to even how the message is crafted.  So what do I think of Race Im voting for Obama because he&#8217;s black. Gotcha.  Oh and I&#8217;m not scared of talking about Politics either.  Im proud to be in a country where we can have a knock down drag out fight with politics and no one has to die.  I know strange to be proud of that but I am.   Ok Im at the end of the line. I&#8217;m proud of my self  I think.  Look people. Be proud of what we have done and will do.  Tune next time when we talk Colonialism and how it still effects Africa today. More than you know it.  I&#8217;m also still adhering to my no read policy so if there is a didn&#8217;t that should be a did. you know what I mean. </p>
