But frankly, Obama is no Santos. The former never strapped on a F/A-18 Hornet to protect America as a US Marine and constantly has at the least <a href="http://www.glennbeck.com/content/articles/article/198/6731/" rel="nofollow">his #1 campaign surrogate talk America down</a> + possible ties to the mob. However, McCain = Vinick + service to America beyond most people's dreams and in the real world, we'll win. I loved “The West Wing”. But frankly, Obama is no Santos.

What happened was that the VP for Santos died. The actor actually died - John Spencer. They had to work that into the script and in true liberal fashion they said "Well, we can't have his friend die AND have him lose the election." so they changed the ending. The shows leading up to the last one had Santos losing all the way up to a miraculous win.

It's instructive to see that his wife, a Princeton graduate, seems to be stuck in a snit about being black in such a privileged institution. I would bet that she would never have attained entry to that school if it were not for a ginned quota system, and that knowledge drives her to attack the very system that she has benefitted from. The sad part is how many more truly qualified people, often from far less advantaged backgrounds, were denied entry so she could gain entry and then bitch about it.
