A girl in love with her famdoms (mostly The Newsroom, Supernatural, Teen Wolf, & The West Wing). Oh and I live for music. This blog is run by someone who is way too attached to fictional characters (mostly Dean Winchester, Josh Lyman, Sloan Sabbith, and Stiles Stilinski). This blog is also very heavily grounded in OTPs.

the west wing meme: ∞ eight speeches [7/8]
“More than any time in recent history, America’s destiny is not of our own choosing. We did not seek nor did we provoke an assault on our freedom and our way of life. We did not expect nor did we invite a confrontation with evil. Yet the true measure of a people’s strength is how they rise to master that moment when it does arrive. 44 people were killed a couple of hours ago at Kennison State University. Three swimmers from the men’s team were killed and two others are in critical condition. When, after having heard the explosion from their practice facility, they ran into the fire to help get people out. Ran in to the fire. The streets of heaven are too crowded with angels tonight. They’re our students and our teachers and our parents and our friends. The streets of heaven are too crowded with angels, but every time we think we have measured our capacity to meet a challenge, we look up and are reminded that that capacity may well be limitless. This is a time for American heroes. We will do what is hard. We will achieve what is great. This is a time for American heroes and we reach for the stars. God bless their memory, God bless you and God bless the United States of America.”
the west wing as house of cards
Josiah “Jed” Bartlet is an ambitious Democratic congressman and House Majority Whip. Following his assistance in ensuring the election of President Matthew Santos, Bartlet is informed by Chief of Staff CJ Cregg that the existing agreement to appoint him Secretary of State will not be honored. Furious at Santos’s betrayal, Bartlet and his wife Abbey, a successful surgeon, begin seeking out pawns in a protracted political war against Santos. With the help of Bartlet’s Chief of Staff, Josh Lyman, the Bartlets drag troubled Congressman Toby Ziegler and Donna Moss, a young political reporter, into the fray.

“Tonight, what began at the Commons in Concord, Massachusetts as an alliance of farmers and workers, of cobblers and tinsmiths, of statesmen and students, of mothers and wives, of men and boys, lives two centuries later as America! My name is Josiah Bartlet, and I accept your nomination for the Presidency of the United States!”
