Tomorrow is Independence Day, a day in which we celebrate America's freedom by indulging in what that freedom affords us: The right to eat ourselves sick, get sh*tfaced, and pass out while taxpayer money is spent blowing up crap in the sky. AMERICA. But before you start grilling your next heart attack, drinking your next black out, and blowing your hand off in celebration of our country's independence, here's an inspiring selection of videos, GIFs, and images from one of our greatest fictional patriots. He's also one of my favorite characters in television history: President Bartlet. Let this be a reminder of the America we love, and the America we aspire to be.
Happy Fourth of July, folks.

President Pullman or GTFO.
exactly, thats the only correct answer
President Pullman is tied with President Roslin on my fictional presidents list. But since Roslin isn’t American, Pullman wins by default here.
All bullshitting and dick-joking aside, in my totally not worth a squirt of piss opinion, the first 4 years of The West Wing might be the best four seasons of television a show has ever done.
He may catch a lot of flack but Sorkin was brilliant and the cast was amazing.
Barlet seems cool except for that fuck-up of a son he has (not to mention the other illegitimate one).
Greatest fictional American is President Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho. He focused on the real issues, like the french fries and burrito coverings shortage.
President Bartlet? Not my president, thankyouverymuch.
President Palmer is the best fictional President. Not David, but Wayne. He shoots terrorists with Jack Bauer and still was the leader of the free world
Fair point, but I feel like we never really got to know Governor Hodges as a candidate. He might have had some good ideas.
He’s the dad I wish I had, and I have a dad…
Pain felt.
I think the reviews for The Newsroom indicate that America has finally concluded that stringing together liberal Keith Olbermann rants under bad lighting doesn’t quite rise to the definition of art.
Sorkinisms, attack!
