The Best Fake President

Post by chumley »

Since Joe posted this topic does "2002 Joe" count?
I figure it's HAZ-approved to try this one out for pure hiking-related entertainment.

Who's your favorite fake president?

With the new Independence Day trailer hitting the webwaves recently, this has become a topic of discussion as many would nominate Bill Pullman as President Whitmore who gave a rousing speech before kicking some alien butt.

Others pick a small-screen choice with Martin Sheen's Josiah Bartlett from West Wing.

There are endless options to choose from. See wiki if you need a reminder.

My vote for best presidential quote goes to James Garner's President Douglas refusing to shake a guys hand while standing at the urinal: "I have to keep my hands on the First :pk: "

My best president goes to Chevy Chase as Gerald Ford. "It was my understanding ... there would be no math." :)

Thanks for putting up with Image

How dare you come in here and lecture me?
How dare you come into this office and bark at me like some little junkyard dog.

That being said, I like President Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho.

Here are my two nominees (I can't decide which I like more):

Fredric March (Seven Days in May)
Henry Fonda (Fail-Safe)

Honorable mentions to Terry Crews (Idiocracy). Our next president may be more like him than Henry Fonda or Fredric March.

President Benson where's your first lady?

I don't know. I've had lots of women. Lost my flower at the age of 15. I can't keep track.
