You talking about acting performances or just the goodness of the character? I'll go with acting performances.

Best - Brian Kieth in The Wind and the Lion
Worst - The guy from Abe Lincoln: Vampire Hunter wasn't very good.

I meant their integrity that they demonstrated in office. That's why President Whitmore (Bill Pullman) in ID was pretty badass. Piloting a fighter jet to fight off an alien race? That's worth a second term right there.

Well, Abe killed Vampires. Gene Hackman in Absolute Power was pretty fricked-up.

Best was probably the one from Independence Day.


Agreed. That's a guy we want as President and has just as much balls as Andrew Jackson or George Washington did. He took no prisoners fighting aliens but he was always was mindful of collateral damage and stayed at the White House until the last possible moment.

I also remember Mackenzie Allen from that one season and done ABC show "Commander in Chief" and she was a great president and pretty much the ideal demonstration of how a president should do the job. She fought republicans and democrats and got a Ron Paul style agenda through for the most part.

Worst has to be Fitzgerald Grant in Scandal.


My god this.

That show is compete trash and there is hardly any material done on the President actually governing and doing good shite for the country. I despise that show because it glorifies infidelity and shitting all over the wife. It also shows the side chick being stupid enough to stay in a toxic relationship with a married man that she has no business getting nasty with. Basically everything I hate in a scumbag politician and the groupies they get.

It's Jed Bartlett, and--I hate when people say this, but--it's not even close.

this. Maybe the most addictive show I've ever seen. There were a couple of moments where I just walked around my house completely shocked wondering what I just saw.
