President of the World

[Tex]

George Bush should rule us all. That's my choice. If you had to vote for a leader of the world who would you vote for? I'm curious.

 

[chaseter]

No one.

 

[[A]]

Putin.

 

[VampElvis]

Me. And I would teach everyone the folly of such a thing. I would rule like LetoII and be reviled but worshiped. And when I was finally deposed humanity would flourish as never before. But first I'm gonna need some sandtrout.....t:

 

[Matt]

I would vote for Jack Bauer. Yes, he is a fictional character, I know. I would vote that Keifer Sutherland is forced to stay in character at all times and the writers of 24 decide what decisions he makes.

 

[Wiseman]

Bruce Campbell, he makes everything better

 

[Matt]

Co-sign.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. I'd vote for Mitt Romney simply so Bruce Campbell can play him in a bio-pic and win his long overdue Oscar.

In fact, in a perfect world, Mitt Romney would go into a coma a few months into his presidency and Secret Service would get Bruce to replace him without anyone knowing and Bruce would take reigns of our country away from the party officials manipulating him. Yes, it is the exact plot of the movie Dave and it would be glorious.

I'd love it just to see the President call every woman "Baby".

Oh, and in his Presidential address he'll say, "Hail to the King, baby."

I think it'd all be worth it to see that.

I thought Obama had already been bestowed that title . . .

*in his own mind and those at NBC*

*oh, and these people too (this never fails to give me the creeps):*

Seriously, though . . . I suppose if we could resurrect George Washington, I'd let him be President of the World. I'm not sure I'd like anyone else, though.

 

[Matt]

The thing about Washington is, he would never accept the post. Washington was a real life example that those who do not seek power are usually the best for it.

Nixon on the other hand would probably love such a post. If only there were a way to bring back Nixon...

That is why it must be him!!

Why did I just get a little Marcus Aurelius a la "Gladiator" vibe, there?

 

[ChrisBaleBatman]

Oh, Zombie Lincoln.

Can't go wrong with Zombie Lincoln.

Ha, I was actually gonna suggest Nixon myself, since he seemed to do a fine job in the roll throughout Futurama. I wish we could bring him back too, I'm completely Democrat but for him I'd make the exception.

 

[ChrisBaleBatman]

I'd be onboard just for the "Tricky Dick" jokes.

[DACrowe]

Santa.

Now there's a leader.

 

[Matt]

Santa.

Now there's a leader.

 

[DACrowe]

I saw that, very funny. I admit I got the idea from Lewis Black, who said in 2007-8 (I saw him live at one of his appearances talk about this) that both sides are so ****ed up, let's elect a fictional character, because it would scare our enemies and something as pure and innocent (and non-existant) as Santa would be less likely to **** us over like either political party. I agreed.

 

[hippie_hunter]

I'm not the type of person who tries to blame everything on George W. Bush or hate him to extreme passions like a lot of people do, but even I felt like that.

Jane Lynch- talk about a left-field choice.

[Tex]

does anyone know how long nixon actually ruled in futurama?

 

[Kurosawa]

Well, he was in a gefeldafish jar, and was elected during the show's run, so about 8 years or so thus far, I believe.

As far as who should be POTE? Stupid question:
