The West Wing

Season 4, episode 6 "Game On"

It's hard to pick the best part of this video. Is it First Lady Bartlett clipping her husband's tie just moments before he has to go on live television? Is it seeing the President slap his wife on the butt? Is it watching Bartlett at his Bartlettiest, full of inspiration and fire? This question comes up every four years, but can this guy run for President or what??
