We don't need another Clinton

[ShinMaruku]

We need a Lincoln!

[CelestialBlade]

I liked Clinton though :P

What we really need is another JFK.

I think Clinton was a great president, so I'm not complaining that Obama is tagging a bunch of people from his administration for his own cabinet. Although, I would agree that it would be nice for him to get some new faces and even republicans in as well. This is his administration, and I want to be assured that he's committed to changing the partisan politics in this country. I don't think restoring old members is a great move in that respect.

[Dangerous55]

We need another Thomas Jefferson.

The closest thing we've had to another Lincoln is W. He isn't even close, but there are many similarities.

1. VERY unpopular war.
2. VERY unpopular President.
3. Limited some civil rights for "national security".
4. Spoke of freeing people and made it to be a large part of policy(despite actual intentions)
5. Opponents said both were in pockets of Big Business
6. Both goofy looking.
7. Public saw both as fools.

Now, these are just generalizations so don't take them as much.

Less all of the above, more David Palmer from 24.

Now your talking. There was a president with integrity.

Obama is reminiscent of JFK no?

W tried to emulate Lincoln but failed, he does not have that much wit, during some thing like a Civil war.

Understanding the situation of the two is really what sets them apart, one is a fool the other is a statesman, he put the state above all others.
Did W do that? Hell no.

Lincoln was a Machiavellian figure.
What I am getting at is at this juncture we need a statesman more than a politician.

[Kesubei]

We need a president like Morgan Freeman. He can solve anything.

[amtalx]

Now your talking. There was a president with integrity.

We also need Jack Bauer. He would totally crotchpunch the economic crisis.

I'm disappointed at the lack of any Jed Bartlet mentions.

Mix this topic with this other one (http://www.pso-world.com/forums/showthread.php?t=153656) and you get Zombie George Washington and Friends. I like it.

[Sharkyland]

I actually want an FDR.

This makes me sad.

[Nai_Calus]

Who is it supposed to be, anyway?

[Nitro Vordex]

Put on your thinking cap, you'll figure it out.



:wacko:

[Nai_Calus]

Considering I've never seen that guy before, probably not.

[ShinMaruku]

Now why the hell did this get moved for?!

[Outrider]

Considering I've never seen that guy before, probably not.

It's Zaphod Beeblebrox from the disappointing Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy movie.

...What the FUCK?

Zaphod has two heads! And three arms! And far worse fashion sense even than that!

Sod that for a lark, I'll stick with the radio programme.

It would seem that I have done a good thing in staying far away from the movie. >_>

[Leviathan]

Obama is going to keep someone from Bush's administration for awhile...

I wonder how my old history teacher thinks of Obama winning... >,>

[Wyndham]

Lincoln wanted to free the slaves, but didn't want African Americans to be equal. not by a long shot.

[Leviathan]

Lincoln wanted to free the slaves, but didn't want African Americans to be equal. not by a long shot.

They don't tell you that in school.
You go to college for that one.

I liked the movie, although the book was much better.

LINCOLN!

The got around the second head thing by having him like... roll back his head to reveal another one just below it? It was something like that.

Yeah, they also turned the movie into a love story about Arthur and Trillian, which is like... wha?


That being said, I probably enjoyed it about as much as I enjoyed Mostly Harmless, so...

How so, those are what you call leaders.

Clinton? That means another war and more weapon restrictions.
JFK? Ever heard of the Bay of Pigs?
No thanks to either.

[Ranmaru]

Khruschev showed remarkable restraint, and JFK went blunder blunder blunder all the way home.

That's what he was doing with Marilyn Monroe?

Jeez, I guess I learned a new onomatopoeia today.

How can you tell? Is there some sort of anti-counterfeit strip or special dye?

[HAYABUSA-FMW-]

Its because I know:

the Kelsey (Chelsea, no, Grammer, no) Clintons are the real ones.

Bay of pigs was just one part.
Both sides shown restraint at the end. Both leaders handled it well.
Some thing today's government would fail it.
