Favorite Fictional President

When you're right, you're right. ;)
 
the one from independence day how many presidents would jump in a plane to fight alens
 
Was going to say, I'll go with Pullman in ID4. Epic speech there.
 
Tim Robbins, Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me :mrgreen:
 
Bill Pullman playing President Whitmore in Independence Day.

I find this speech particularly relevant to the healthcare debate, and the Republican tactics in regards to healthcare. They had an opportunity to shape the healthcare discussion like statesmen, and they've abdicated that role to serve as fearmongers. It's a shame. And the American people deserve better. Healthcare reform is a serious issue, and it deserves better than what they've served up to their core.

The health care system in America is a scam. I did not realize how absolutely ****ty the health care system was in the USA until I moved to a country with universal health care.
 
James Garner and Jack Lemmon in the movie "My Fellow Americans". They played 2 ex-presidents, one a Liberal, and the other a Conservative. Was funny as hell. :)
 
Okay I thought it would be nice to do a little comparison and take a break from all the partisanship and discuss our favorite fictional presidents from TV and Movies. So whats your favorite fictional president and why?

And why just presidents, what about despots?

My favorite, Havelock Vetinari "The Patrician", family motto:
"Si non confectvs, non reficiat,"
(if it ain't broke, don't fix it.) Although it is pointed out in the novels
in which he appears, that "things that didn't work, frequently got
broken."

Tiny Lister as President Lindberg in The Fifth Element.


Simply because it's the single greatest movie in history.

One of my favorite movies ever. Booya!
 
John Galt

But Ron Paul would be a great alternative; and he's for real.
 
What do you expect from Ron Paul voters? They have difficulty distinguishing the difference between fact and fiction.
 
Why not? It's after 4 p.m. Also, most stereotypes have a basis in fact. ;)

So Jews really are bankers which control all our money....Bastards!

heheh

No, my point was that I love Ron Paul; think he's the greatest thing since streaming Netflix over XBox Live (ok...admittedly that isn't very old...but it's awesome!). And I said Robot Nixon was my favorite fictional president.
