The Daily Show: The 10 Greatest (Fictional) Presidents of All Time
Edited on Mon Feb-16-09 03:24 PM by charlie and algernon
1. Air Force One - President James Marshall

"The most unbelievable part of Air Force One isn't the escape pod or the parachute hanger. It's that the president of the United States acted like he was elected to pass legislation and kick ass, and he was all out of legislation. President Clinton, you can barely go for a morning job without stopping at a McDonalds."

2. Independence Day - President Thomas J. Whitmore

"If the world was actually ambushed by aliens, Bush would not slip into his pilot jumper and board a military jet. He'd probably just hire a mercenary organization like Blackwater. And then they'd definitely end up killing all our good aliens, like ET, Chewbacca, and Mac from Mac and Me."

3. Super President – President James Norcross

4. Superman Comics- President Lex Luthor

"Under Luthor's presidency, he protected Earth against an alien invasion. It was later revealed President Luthor knew about the incoming aliens and allowed them to attack Topeka, Kansas.

Superman and the rest of the Justice League are obviously aghast by this fact, but they completely ignore that FDR totally knew about Pearl Harbor and was all like, "Fuck it, dog. I'm wheeling my polio ass to bed."


5. The West Wing – President Josiah Bartlet

"President Josiah Bartlet is basically the most perfect president in all of media history. He might make mistakes, but at the end of the day, his firm belief in not being a realistically flawed president in any way shape or form trumps everything."

6. 24 - President David Palmer

7. Frost/Nixon – President Richard Nixon

8. The American President – President Andrew Shepherd

9. Primary Colors - President Jack Stanton

10. Deep Impact – President Tom Beck

"I remember when the film was released theatrically, my South American cousin asked, "Where are all of the other world leaders? Why is the U.S. seemingly the only country that takes action during a fucking worldwide asteroid crisis?"

The answer is simple. When Morgan Freeman is president, you don't need any other leaders. At the time, I was too young to effectively explain this, so I settled with repeatedly chanting into his ear, "U.S.A! U.S.A!"
