I'm for Colbert, but I've tried to think of other (generally-liberal) people. I've probably missed some obvious choices, but you can blame the Jameson for that!

(38,187 posts)That is all I need to know. They are cats. I can't think of anything I don't love about cats, including their attitude. I can see the Republicans trying to backtalk a cat. They would be too afraid to do that, actually. I, for one, welcome our feline overlords. I'd love to see it.

(3,626 posts)and well-informed. Also, she's a woman and a lesbian. If she were a person of color, she'd hit all the marks! This would force all the RWNJs into looney bins. Win-win. Neil deGrasse Tyson is a brilliant, progressive scientist but might be limited in scope to be POTUS.

(190 posts)I voted for Obama twice, and I don't regret it. The subversive suggestion of this thread is that maybe, just maybe, we could benefit from an iconoclastic President who takes a dim view of our current set-up.
