The pilot episode of the West Wing is very interesting in that it presses so many political issues on the viewer right off the bat. There are more minor issues presented such as Sam, one of the presidents advisors, sleeping with a call girl, and more major issues like Josh insulting the christian God on national TV. When faced with the pressure of these issues, it is very important for the president to stay calm, and I feel that the president's mind set is the most important political issue that he faced in this episode.
As the leader of a free country, the president has to remain calm and clear headed to make good decisions. After a bike accident such as the one Bartlet experienced, many people would have taken a few days off to clear their head, but because of the situation he faced, the president had to go on leading a country. Because of the gravity of the conflict created by Josh on TV, the most paramount issue i feel is the mindset of the president as he navigates out of the problem
Why not just unsubscribe to your old blog. Then you wont make that mistake again. The picture isn't working, and this blog needs further development. You need to discuss why religion is a "touchy" issue for Americans.
