In the White House President Obama has to make difficult decisions everyday. These decisions can and do affect the lives of many Americans. I have a special incite into the life of a president that was elected to two terms, had his daughter kidnapped and had a corrupt foriegn diplomat killed for his war crimes. That President is Jeb Bartlett.
Jeb Barlett is President of the United States on a late 90's early 2000's TV show called The West Wing. one may think yeah, so what Martin Sheen plays a President. However to me it is not Martin Sheen, in fact there are no actors in the West Wing, it is real. I refer to all the people in the show as there character names and often find myself wondering what their real names are.
This shows a solely one-sided relationship with a bond of intimacy that is also only felt in one direction. President Barlett and his Chief of Staff Leo have no idea who I am and will more than likely never know. While this is not my only Parasocial relationship it is the one that is most prevelant.
