Before David Palmer, before Barack Obama, there was Tom Beck. In 1998 €“ the year of the asteroid, DEEP IMPACT may have been a damp squib compared to altogether more bombastic BAY-ed up ARMAGEDDON but DEEP IMPACT definitely won in the President stakes. Who wouldn€™t vote for Morgan Freeman!? His two televised speeches are so impassioned and believable, €˜Dubya€™ should really have taken notes, the latter of his speeches, after Robert Duvall's shuttle crew has saved humanity is up there with some of the most inspiring monologues ever committed to film. Beck might not have kicked anyone€™s ass but he delivers hope in spades.
