Presidents as Star Trek Captains...

[Pryderi]

If Clinton were Kirk, who would Bush and Obama be?

[EndersDame]

1. Obama would definitely be Picard Bush would be a captain of a Ferengi merchant ship

[Archae]

2. Bush a Ferengei? Nah. A Pakled.

:D

[Auggie]

3. +1

[EndersDame]

4. Was Spock ever promoted to Captain, if so, Obama would be Spock

[jrandom421]

9. Maybe not so much Spock

As Ben Sisko. No one in the middle of a crisis was better than him. And Sisko's famous "smoldering volcano" look combined with the quiet, calm, disciplined voice would also be vintage Obama.

5. Bush wouldn't even be in the Star Trek universe.

He'd be a Centauri on the order of Lord Refa or more likely Emperor Cartagia :P

[LynneSin]

6. Bush would be Jar Jar Binks - didn't he pilot a ship once

:shrug:

[kentauros]

7. Yeah, maybe Cartagia should be reserved for Cheney.

He's just that crazy and mean ;)

[Mojambo]

8. Bush would be a less likeable Arnold Rimmer. n/t

[Sebastian Doyle]

10. With a big "W" in the middle of his forehead?

Of course, there was the "Mission Accomplished" incident in 2003 where Chimpy tried to be his alter ego "Ace" Bush :rofl:

[mysuzuki2]

11. Bush would never have made captain

he would have gone AWOL during traaining.

[Orsino]

12. Bush is Commander Decker.

Hand-picked legacy of his father's loins, quickly replaced in a crisis.

[Captain Hilts]

13. I'd rather see the Star Trek captains as presidents. Really. nt

[NJmaverick]

14. Bush= Harry Mud

Obama a cross between Spock and Picard

[Rabrrrrrr]

15. I think Teddy Roosevelt would be Kirk. Obama is Picard. Bush is Admiral Cartwright.

Or, as someone said above, Bush is really more of a Paklad.

[Rabrrrrrr]

16. Reagan would be the Borg Queen, if she were an assimilated Ferengi

[Pharlo]

17. Bush would be

'The Squire of Gothos' - a spoiled kid, always rebelling, and doing whatever he wanted knowing Mommy and Daddy would always be there to bail him out.

[Pryderi]

18. Good Call! "Squire of Gothos" indeed n/t
