doctor doom for president
20th Century Fox

Can there be a better contender for President than Gordon Gekko, the man whose behaviour ultimately led to financial Armageddon on Wall Street?

Just listen to him advocating the need for greed: “Greed is right. Greed works. Greed clarifies, cuts through, and captures, the essence of the evolutionary spirit. Greed, in all of its forms - greed for life, for money, for love, knowledge - has marked the upward surge of mankind and greed, you mark my words, will not only save Teldar Paper, but that other malfunctioning corporation called the U.S.A.”

Pros:

1. Knows who makes the rules

2. Possesses “that killer instinct”

3. In 2008, Forbes estimated his net worth at $8.5 billion, ahead of C. Montgomery Burns and Jabba The Hut

Cons:

1. Disgraced former jailbird

2. Knows Charlie Sheen

3. Knows Shia LaBeouf
