The President delivers his 3rd State of the Union address, what critics call "the speech of his political career" and ends up angering Abbey by what he does and doesn't say; Josh must work the polling center with Joey Lucas, but a power outage delays the reults; Sam attempts to introduce Ainsley to the President with disastrous results; CJ must juggle a live recording of the show "Capitol Beat" being broadcast within the White House and run damage control when a cop has a (possibly undeserved) black mark on his record; Leo and Bartlet must handle the matter of five DEA officals who are taken hostage by Colombian terrorists.

It was beautiful episode, full of emotion and action all the time. The start was already so dynamic, much action and much happening. With all the hard things it dealt with, it had the humorous moments and some moments what the char wish they would never had like President meeting Ashley. Poor she. Things never go easy there, on White House. This time there main focus was on the speech of third state of union. Abbey was mad that they changed the final version of the speech and now it sounded like a cry for get reelected as she had got promise from her husband that it ends with one term. And even if he has not made any decision, others are sure that they will try once again.
CJ is having hard time as one of those people mentioned on the speech and invited to the little party later has black mark on his past. It was long ago and he makes it quite logic that he could not have done it, there was never a case, but it is and it brings much problems.
Josh is with Donna and Joey Lucas to get the numbers how people responded to the speech but electricity goes out... so.. not best place
It was great episode with a lot of action, movement and had the tempo up all the time.
State of the Union Number 3, and no one's wearing any pants! hide show
This is such a great episode!!!
*I love the wet paint and everybody loosing they're pants, how hilarious is that?
*The Officer Sloan thing was good. It doesn't stick out in my mind as being really amazing, but good.
*The thing with Abbey was really confusing the first time I saw this, but when you watch again, it makes sense and kicks starts a lot of things in the upcoming episodes. *Sam and Ainsley and meeting the president. That was hysterical! I love Ainsley dancing around and the president. haha!
*Josh, Donna and Joey. They're all so great, I loved it when the power went out. That was really amazing. Why would you think that's a stupid question?
Such a great episode, and leaves off so you've just got to see the next one!
