I too, have been trying to get my friends to watch The West Wing. They say, "What's that about, a hospital? A bird?" No! I say. You fools, you are all mistaken. It is about the White House. I would know, I watch the show, and took AP United States Government. I also once used the restroom in the White House because I was like four years old, and I really had to go, and the security guard was like "alright, that's chill." Also I met Joe Biden, the United States Vice President, and although we didn't discuss The West Wing, I'm sure we were all thinking about it.
In The West Wing, there are lots of presidential things that happen. One example would be that Rob Lowe, who plays a character named Sam, is in it. Rob Lowe is from Dayton, Ohio, which a place that Michelle Obama visited two years ago. Michelle Obama is the wife of Barack Obama, who works and breathes in the west wing of the White House.
Another example would be that there is a character in The West Wing named Toby. In real life, there is a guy that works at the White House named Toby! I do not know this for a fact, but Toby is a common enough name that I am sure it is true.
I would tell you more about the West Wing but I don't want to give anything away
