"Let Bartlet be Bartlet"

I'm starting to think Aaron Sorkin is psychic... Back in the first season of "The West Wing," we got an episode about a president (a former college professor) mired in mediocrity after his first year in office; his administration had tried compromise on issues in order to walk the line in the middle of the road, and the result was a conventional wisdom that he was a disappointment (though he did succeed in nominating a Hispanic Supreme Court justice).
