Josiah Edward Bartlet (more popular as Jed), the U.S. president depicted in The West Wing episodes is a character that the entire American democracy mesmerized.
Each and every American out there wanted a president like Bartlet, and when they elected Obama to power, they no doubt prayed that he turns out to be a leader embodied with traits similar to those of the fictional president played by Martin Sheen.
In other words, Jed’s character was the symbol of a perfect president for the world power, and so it made Martin Sheen’s opinion about President Obama to be of utmost important.
In stark contrast to opinions about the president from liberals like Michael Moore and Matt Damon, Martin Sheen (Jed) finds him special and adorable.
As per Sheen, Obama is doing a commendable job and the recent criticisms that were showered on him (Obama) were hardly meaningful.
Sheen feels that if the economy is not bouncing back on time, it is more because of the increasing number of people out of work. He makes it clear that holding the President solely responsible for the decline in employment opportunities isn’t ethical at all.
American MNC’s and Corporate Giants have been avoiding investments in the country to maximize their profit margins. Off-shore investments have been aiding them reduce cost of production and increase their annual profits.
Sheen feels that instead of worrying about profits all the time, they can consider the economical situation and invest in the country for a change.
Only then will there arise sufficient employment opportunities to revive the economy.
That was well said for sure! Critics should know that anything happening with the economy is more an effect of extreme capitalism and that it isn’t a mixed economy, where the president can intervene with his laws to turn national investments compulsory for U.S. entrepreneurs.
