Leo Rules the Roost Again
30 September 2009
Warning: Spoilers
I was particularly taken aback by the lack of action concerning the defection request by the North Korean pianist. I felt the President had a clear call to honor the request yet he let Leo decide the matter. He lamely said at the end that the North Korean did not understand freedom, ignoring the initial request in the Oval Office. This lack of active acceptance came just after the President had welcomed new citizens and talked about freedom. It did not matter if the man did not understand freedom in English - he knew what he needed and that was way more than enough. This episode showed Bartell to be weak and indecisive.
