Subject: Who is your ideal president?

Written By: John_Harvey on 02/16/03 at 08:00 p.m.

If for some unknown reason, George W. were to decide to leave office to commune with the natural world, and left the job to you to pick his replacement, who would you choose to replace him? Current people, dead people, fictional people, famous penguins, and any other living entity is an acceptable answer.

My choice for prez: Gandalf

Tell me yours and remember, vote for Gandalf!

I do not know who Gondofl is off the top of my head. Who is he?

I would give the job to a proven winning track record: Bill Clinton. The economy has never been better than when he was president.

Okay, let the but ripping start. Somehow I have the feelings the republicans at this board are going to do this to me:

(.) to (o) to (O)

Who is Gandalf? Think Lord of the Rings. Think Ian McKellan. Think nominated for best supporting actor.

Nah, you’re entitled to your opinion.  I would pick the exact opposite of Ralph Nadder.  I don't know who that is exactly..

Good President's Day question!

My vote goes to the original George W...   Washington.

Today we sometimes focus so much on what Washington and the other founding fathers didn't accomplish, the abolition of slavery, that we overlook the revolutionary concepts that they implemented:
1) A democracy,
2) An elected president,
3) A constitution and a bill of rights that have stood the test of time,
4) A system of checks and balances among the three branches of government, and much more.
Of course, Washington did not do this by himself, but it could not have been done without his leadership.

Hmmm.....

Edited to add: I would create a special compound with houses for all the awesome members of these forums and their families. :)

Re: Who is your ideal president?

My ideal Presidents were:

George Washington
Abraham Lincoln

My ideal President would have to embody all the intelligence, charisma, good, yet strong force to be reckoned with power Gandalf possesses. So....

I too vote Gandalf, for President.  :)

Just a thought: is there a stipulation that a president has to be human?  Just that Gandalf, if you want to be pedantic, isn't.  (I ain't convinced about Reagan, either, mind)

Me, I reckon Kermit (with Miss P for VP) would be a real dream ticket.

..or possibly Wayne and Garth (from Wayne's World)

Well, according to the original post:

So....

Yes, Gandalf is acceptable.  ;)

I'm amazed you didn't vote for him.  :o

If I was American, I'd probably write him in... seeing as I'm not, the US authorities might take a dim view of me trying to vote, let alone trying to vote in a mythical mage ;-)

My ideal penguin president has to be Feathers McGraw from Wallace and Gromit's clay-mated short "The Wrong Trousers".

Hi John :)

That's really funny.  But does it matter that Feathers is a criminal?  Maybe he'd be a good Prez because of his calculating cleverness :)

Written By: John_Harvey on 02/17/03 at 02:02 p.m.

All of our presidents are criminals to some degree or another. I just like Feathers because he was a master of disguise.

Penguins are beautiful. Hug a penguin today and find true happiness.  8)

I would have to say that ideal president would probably be a woman-probably a mother who knows what people really need like health care and livable wages. Someone who is not out-of-touch with the world and is not so full of testostrum that they have stage a war to prove that "he's a manly man."

Just some random thoughts...

On a more serious note,

First U.S. president George Washington rejected a movement among army officers to make him king of the United States.
