TOP TEN: Fictional Presidents of the United States

America is currently embroiled in the seemingly never-ending saga of electing a New President, with (IN)DECISION €˜08 having seemingly been in full swing for so long that BILL CLINTON had still to develop his love of cigars when this thing got started. The job in front of Barack Obama or John McCain is going to be a difficult one; it€™s not easy undoing eight years of ineptitude. In honour of the pending historic election in November let€™s take a look at my TOP 10 fictional Presidents to have appeared on the big screen. While there have been some great performances over the years by actors playing real Presidents, only fictitious Presidents are eligible for this list. Now we all know that Dennis Haysbert's David Palmer from 24 is the greatest fictional President to have appeared on the small screen, you heard me Geena Davis, but here are the TOP 10 fictional big screen Commander-In-Chief€™s, a group of men who would have all more than likely done a better job than George W. Bush... Well some of them...

10. PRESIDENT SCHWARZENEGGER

As seen in THE SIMPSONS MOVIE (Voiced by HARRY SHEARER)

Okay, so not €˜technically€™ fictional but by that token, not technically factual either, President of the United States of America in THE SIMPSONS MOVIE is none other than a certain Mr. Schwarzenegger, which could be one of the most chillingly prophetical running jokes in the history of cinema. Part Rainier Wolfcastle, who was originally based on Schwarzenegger anyway and part Arnie, President Schwarzenegger makes decisions in much the same way I imagine Bush does; on a whim. Given the task of deciding what to do in order to tackle Springfield€™s pollution problem, President Schwarzenegger randomly decides to encase the town in a giant glass dome, something I have no doubt Bush suggested after Katrina.
