Obama seeks some fatherly advice... from our very own Jed Bartlet.

BARTLET - Because the idea of American exceptionalism doesn’t extend to Americans being exceptional. If you excelled academically and are able to casually use 690 SAT words then you might as well have the press shoot video of you giving the finger to the Statue of Liberty while the Dixie Chicks sing the University of the Taliban fight song. The people who want English to be the official language of the United States are uncomfortable with their leaders being fluent in it.

God, I love that man... (well, both of them - Bartlet and Sorkin!)

From the NYT.

Yeah. But wasn't it nice to have Jed back, just for the few minutes it took to read it? Sorkin really needs to write a WW "5 years on" special!
