DENA BUNIS - - Orange County Register
| Fans of "West Wing" here chuckle at many of the lines delivered by the fictional White House staff on the popular television show.
One that has always rang true to me was when Josh – for the non-"West Wing" groupies, he's the president's deputy chief of staff – said that having to deal with Congress made him sick.
That's generally how those two branches of government feel about each other. The White House wishes it didn't have to get congressional approval of the things it wants to do and Congress really hates it when the president tries to tell it what to do.
There's usually no time of year that that sentiment is more evident than budget time.
