I would call that "a" problem, not "the" problem. Quite often the writers' conception of what "the right thing" might be is a little strange.

Like in that episode I mentioned earlier the show's protagonists heroically strike a bargain to cut social security and raise the retirement age, but alas they have to do the noble thing and allow some senators to take credit for their amazing accomplishment. In the minds of the writers this is an incredible act of civic virtue.

what about the time they solve the palestine/israel conflict by giving palestinians diplomatic rights to islamic holy sites and no other promises whatsoever

that one was pretty lollerskate

that said i actually enjoyed West Wing because i could take it at face value, would watch again
