Depiction On The West Wing TV Series
In 1999, The West Wing television series brought greater public attention to the workings of the Presidential staff, as well as to the location of those working in the West Wing. The show followed the working lives of a fictional Democratic American President, Josiah Bartlet, and his senior staff. When asked whether the show accurately captured the working environment in 2003, Press Secretary Scott McClellan commented that the show portrayed more foot traffic and larger rooms than in the real wing.

“It’s a warm wind, the west wind, full of birds’ cries;
I never hear the west wind but tears are in my eyes.”

“I look on trade and every mechanical craft as education also. But let me discriminate what is precious herein.
