Fantasy Presidential pick?

Asked by Unbroken (10751points) October 22nd, 2012

The challenges the President will have to face in the upcoming new term are far from ideal. Between foreign policy, economic issues, health care and social this person is going to be a challenging and dirty task. Alive or dead but American who do you think best suited for the job?

At the risk of inviting a visit from the Secret Service, and in keeping with my normal answers on these types of questions, I don’t think we’re quite ready to be led by a dead president. Almost, but not quite. It’s a good idea, though, and definitely worth exploring.

Yeah, I went there.

I think Reagan was more or less dead towards the end of his term, Nancy was certainly “pulling the strings.”

Jesus was ‘Mericun, right?

Anti-war socialist who provided free health care and told people to pay their taxes. Works for me.

Martin Sheen. He’s already had practice.

If we’re allowed to choose dead people, I’d say Jimmy Stewart.

Horatio Bunce with Davy Crockett as his VP.

Chuck Norris !

If we are constraining ourselves to non-fantasy individuals I’d take either Elizabeth Warren or Dennis Kucinich. They would make a great ticket together, too.

Jean Luc Picard, with Data as VP.

My goose Marwyn. Note he is consorting with one of his sheeples, telling her that there are already too many wolves in sheeps clothing in politics.
Vote Marwyn, don’t you think it’s time for an entirely new species in office?
He also resembles Ross Perot, all he needs is a suit. lol

I sign up all my animals for political prop-a-gander.
My mailbox is full of mailings for Marwyn. haha

And Milo for Veep, not that he would stand to be second-banana.

Hilary Clinton

I’d like to see what JFK would have done if he had two full terms, or RFK if circumstance had allowed him the same chance.

Others would be Ralph Nader, George McGovern, or Bernie Sanders (if he was about 20 years younger).

I’m sitting here with a Hillary Clinton 2008 coffee mug. Does that answer your question? ;)

Coloma's avatar

My neigh-bor is Hilary the mule.
She could easily stomp the real Hilary into the ground. They do share the same big toothy horse smile. lol

Colin Powell . He’s capable, confident and competent. Even his name is cool.

LuckyGuy's avatar

@tedd I’m liking John Stewart too.

Powell and Clark ticket.

I want the President from Independence Day. He was a straight bad ass in that movie.

rebbel's avatar

I liked that one guy, a couple of years ago, what’s his name…., Potus.

Ron_C's avatar

I would like John Stewart for President and Dennis Kucinich for vice president. I’d keep Hilary Clinton as secretary of state.

Gotta vote for my favorite: George Washington

jonsblond's avatar

(Know who you are voting for. It’s Hillary, not Hilary. just sayin’) :P

If you could cobble together a Frankenpresident out of both Roosevelts and Vince Lombardi I would actually show up to vote.

maybe throw in a little vince shlomi for good measure.

Loved ya’lls answers. Some made me laugh, others made me want cry. Most of them anyway. Some have pretty high standards, some not so much. Any one can be the President?! Limited power, somewhat akin to a figurehead? So the additional cabinet members some of ya’ll chose to add was great.

Gandalf. And he’s from America if he wants to be.

I had a discussion with some people who would love to see Barack Obama re elected followed by Michelle Obama, president and Hillary Clinton, vice president for the next 8 years.
