Ignore the haters. I loved this. It actually brought a tear to my eye, no joke. I even got goosebumps (I've loved the theme music from the very beginning). Well done!
Yup. As I've said before, I was thinking about it, but ultimately decided to do it like the "The West Wing," focusing on the behind the scenes White House staffers rather than cabinet-level members of the government. I was also compelled to make one of the cabinet - but with 14 positions (plus Obama makes 15), that leaves 3 seconds for each person - which wouldn't be enough to make a quality video.
Well done! This must've been a lot of work! I think that once you crop the pictures to maintain a consistent aspect ratio, this video will be close to perfect. :)
Totally Heart-breaking and Inspiring. Happy Inauguration for all and most of all, please, please, please God bless USA. from South Evil(the Hon.KO, 2008.06)
You know, there's someone on UA-cam who sang it and posted it, probably if you search for "west wing lyrics" or something. I saw it a couple weeks ago, and it's catchy! Now I see it also helps the pacing of the names if it's more...singable, because the names of mine started getting pushed together the further the video goes...
Well, we own a flag, 3x4 feet I believe. I basically hung it in a doorway and used a fan to blow it, and recorded it for a few minutes. It's proved very valuable for the various West Wing intros I made!
Thanks for the comment, and sorry about Reggie Love. But if I ever make another, I'll be sure to put him in (or whoever the current personal aide is at the time)
Not a fan of Obama myself, but a great video and idea, regardless of who's featured. And NOW I can remember why the music being played during the Inauguration Sunday Concert seemed so familiar! (facepalm) 'Tis why I fail at being a true fan of "The West Wing" series.

That was fantastic. I am not a big politico so whether it was Obabma or McCain or Clinton wouldn't really have made difference to me. I only judge by result not character and who is the best speaker. In any ways, my hat goes off to Mr. Obama and I hope he does well and lead our country back to the forfront where we only belong. Grapes, you did an excellent job here. I am not a big politico fan, but I love the West Wing, Martin Sheen is my hero. You did a brilliant job.
Especially Mr.Arne Duncan of Education secretary, and Gen.Sunsechi(? anyway!) of Veterans Affairs secretary who are patriotic and briliant servants for both Obama Administration(2009~2017) and the USA.

Can't wait for that season to start!!!!!!!
The end of an era. Goodbye, President Obama.

Michelle Obama:
What are you thinking about?
Barack Obama:
Tomorrow.
It's surreal when you personally know five people in this awesome video including the Vice President! Wow.
I'm not a big Obama fan by any means but that was really well done. Kudos.
That is just the most rocking thing I have ever seen anywhere anytime anyplace.
Come on, January 20th!
Love it! If I can't have Martin Sheen.......
thank heavens we have Obama!
I'm so proud of this administration!!!
This is a wonderful tribute!!!
I miss these days
Excellent! A friend just posted the link to this. A thing of beauty. Thank you!!!
Nice! I always thought this was one of the best TV themes ever.
I just saw this on "Showbiz Tonight"...this is so creative...luv it!!!
The dream is now a reality! And yeah, they should've played this during his inaguration yesterday! Great job, sir.
When I vote for Biden, this will be playing in my head!
They should've played ▶️ this theme song 🎵 during his inauguration.
this is absolute GENIUS! I want to see this show!!!!!!1
Well done!
Only 4 days to go! Can't happen fast enough!
Very well done on the video. I love The West Wing and just bot the whole 7 seasons - just awaiting delivery, woo hoo!
Brought tears to my eyes, remembering better days. Let's hope they will come again!
LOL omg
Those days will come back again. Have faith and vote for Harris. Don’t let the orange son of a bitcj return to the office.
hank you for theme played for the current President. I feels good. And when the theme is being played for Former President G.W. Bush as well..Nice
This is a really awesome video!!! @grapesofwraith1066, you should make one for the Kennedy administration!!
Although I am not an Obama fan, and never was, I gotta say, well done.
Thanks for a great start to my new year.
Great job!!!! Really enjoyed that
wow hearing this theme song I swear it makes me to be more motivated and work hard and harder to achieve my goals. GOD bless America and BARACK Obama
Best new show of '09!!!
this IS nice! great editing, looks very professional.
Great video! It brought back fond memories of the show and also accurately captured the feel of this administration. I loved it.
Much love for this video.
This was put together VERY well! I LOVE it!
The West wing was one of the best shows that came to television! It's so sad that it got cancelled!
I believe that it ended very well. As much as I’d love to see a season with Matt Santos, I think they did a great job.
@@williamleewolverine I like to see a Santos admin as well a good Republican admin.
FUN & well done! and touching too ... thank you
Never realized this music has such an “In Memoriam” quality to it ... Great work though 👍🏻
This was sooo COOL.
Could you imagine a behind the scenes documentary of the campaign and the first 4 years of his presidency?
Wooohooo! I love this! I'm not taking my Christmas lights down until after the inauguration! :p
Very, very cool & creative, too!
That was freaking awesome! Love it! Wish the color images were better resolution though. Looks like it was camcorded off TV.
Nicely done!
Maybe a little fast with the character titles but nicely done.
Amazingly moving!
wow you combined two of my favorite things. West Wing+ Obama= awesome. Really this is why I want to be a politician. :)
Nice work, that was really cool. Did you know that the Santos character in the series was based a little on Obama.
Beautiful.
Thanks for this. Cheers to you.
Thanks, and I'm glad you were able to pick up on the little details!!
well done
Oh my god this is fantastic lol. I love the picture of Rahm at 0:15.
I LIKED IT!!!! VERY CREATIVE!!!!
Nice job. Wish I'd thought of it!
Again, Thank you for this video with that great theme song...Thanks
This was so cool! I have friends who love that show... I'll have to share it with them. Good job.

Nicely done. The West Wing is one of my favorite shows!
Nicely done!
Really great!!
Agree with the others who point out that you are missing Jon Favreau and Reggie Love. Aside from that this is totally perfect.
Hahaha brilliant! Nicely done
well done.... really good!!
Totally Heart-breaking and Inspiring. Happy Inauguration for all and most of all, please, please, please God bless USA. from South Evil(the Hon.KO, 2008.06)
OMG... that ROCKS! Great job! I like Obama... I love Jed Bartlett... Lets hope Obama gets Aaron Sorkin to write his speachs! lol
NICE!!!
That was truly a job well done. You should be a movie director or producer!
very nice! thank you!
Awesome job my friend!
Cool video!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I like this!!!!
Great job.
this is great!!!
That gave me goosebumps, love it!
This is pretty awesome. And on a side note, BRING WEST WING BACK!
I miss Barack Obama.
I love it!! I will enjoy it over and over again. lol
This is such a good video. I don't know how you did it but it's really good. Does anyone know what the name of the theme song to the west wing is?
EXCELLENT JOB!!!! =D
awsome!

Sweet idea but where the hell is Reggie Love?
Haha! That wuz pretty funny! Good job! It looks great!! :D
class mate
This one's going to have great ratings, I predict.
Oh my, I love this! I miss "The West Wing," but I'm happy now that current reality is better than the past eight years!
This is pretty damn awesome. :D
HA! That is fantastic!
Thanks for the comment, and sorry about Reggie Love. But if I ever make another, I'll be sure to put him in (or whoever the current personal aide is at the time)
i like this lol somebody sent it to the president. I think the west wing was one of obama's favorite shows.
wow this is epic win
Not a fan of Obama myself, but a great video and idea, regardless of who's featured.
And NOW I can remember why the music being played during the Inauguration Sunday Concert seemed so familiar! (facepalm)
'Tis why I fail at being a true fan of "The West Wing" series.
*sigh*
Sleeping better already, with visions of *this* dancing in my head ;)
Tim Matheson as the Vice President was never in the main credits.

Thanks
I like this
I heard this was shown on MSNBC! If anyone has a video of it on tv, I'd greatly appreciate it if you could post it.

This is brilliant! You should send the link to the White House.
classic !!
That was fantastic. I am not a big politico so whether it was Obabma or McCain or Clinton wouldn't really have made difference to me. I only judge by result not character and who is the best speaker.

Grapes, you did an excellent job here. I am not a big politico fan, but I love the West Wing, Martin Sheen is my hero. You did a brilliant job.
Oh, BTW, Matt Santos (Jimmy Smits) *was* based on Obama. One of the writers saw the 2004 DNC speech.
Reminds me of back when I was still enthusiastic about Obama...
Especially Mr.Arne Duncan of Education secretary, and Gen.Sunsechi(? anyway!) of Veterans Affairs secretary who are patriotic and briliant servants for both Obama Administration(2009~2017) and the USA.
Absolutely Awesome! But please do add Hillary!
epic win
You have to watch it in High Quality to remove the pixelation.
YEA THATS TRUE BUT IT WAS SO AWESOME
