Echoes of West Wing

A little bit of must see TV seems to be in reruns at the White House.

As you read about President Obama and his relationship with Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel... Think President Bartlett and Leo McGarry.

No matter who currently occupies the West Wing they want the focus to be on programs and policy, not personality and process, which they consider a distraction... Dee Dee Myers knows.
