10 Crazy Movie Politicians We'd Never Vote For

9. President Schwarzenegger - The Simpsons Movie

The Simpsons has something of a history of poking fun at Mr Schwarzenegger, most notably in the form of the McBain character who has more than a passing resemblance to the former Governor of California. For The Simpsons Movie though they decided to go straight for the source and portray him as the American President. After Homer pollutes the whole town with his faeces (well mostly the pigs in fairness) President Schwarzenegger is presented with five plans to contain the crisis, he randomly picks three of them and the town ends up under a giant dome. It is a display which shows a terrible lack of leadership though is probably absolutely in keeping with the actions of many US Presidents.

8. President Bennett - Clear And Present Danger

clear-present President Bennett doesn't get very far into Clear and Present Danger before saying the sentence "Clear and present danger" but he also doesn't take long to start showing that he is a bit of a shady character, authorising his National Security advisor to wage an illegal war on Colombian drug cartels. He didn't bank of having Han Solo and Darth Vader on his case though and before long they uncover the dodgy goings on in South America. Even when the game is up, Bennett attempts to convince Ryan to hold onto the information he has and use it when he needs a favour from the President but Ryan doesn't fall for it. Three dodgy US Presidents in a row, surely not a fourth?
