Who do you consider the REAL president of the USA?

[WI_DEM]

Poll question: Who do you consider the REAL president of the USA?

[benddem]

1. Martin Sheen

or Santos

[AntiCoup2K4]

2. Depends on what you mean by "Real"

If you mean "legally elected", it's Gore.

If you mean "Guy who actually gives the orders" It's probably Cheney. Or Satan :evilgrin:

Not Chimpy in either case.

[Prisoner_Number_Six]

3. Who is Number One?

That would be Gore. The last elected President.

[LittleClarkie]

7. "That would be telling. You are Number Six"

"I am not a number. I am a free man!"

[RagingInMiami]

4. We have no president

We're a ship of fools sailing into the abyss with a bunch of drunken pirates at the helm.

[Cha]

29. That's a little closer to

the real scenario. Although, in my wishful thinking I voted for Gore!

[Bonhomme Richard]

5. The one behind the curtain we haven't seen yet. n/t

[JanusAscending]

6. Who's the "idiot" that voted for shrub??????

:wtf:

[Straight Shooter]

9. Damn sure wasn't me!

I voted for Gore. He would be on his second term now, if it weren't for the thugs in Florida, damn them all, especially Bolton.

[Contontos]

17. I know, huh. What kind of idiot doesn't know who the president is?

[newyawker99]

21. Hi Contontos!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[Deja Q]

8. Maxwell Smart.

Doesn't matter who is REAL. What matters is REALITY. When you let the fox into the henhouse, there's little you can do until the fox is satiated.

And most of us are the chickens. And if that is our fate, so be it. As one had said, "indifferent". Life as it has been is over. We either adapt to service, or we are to rot and starve to death. No jobs. And even if we did the former, lack of plantery resources will seal our fate to be the same anyway.

[WI_DEM]

10. I like Charles Nelson Reilly's answer

Twiggy

[librechik]

11. Clinton--never succeeded by a legally elected successor

and I'm pissed off he's so passive about what they're doing to his country.

[Big Kahuna]

12. Jello Biafra!

[lady raven]

13. Al Gore is in his second term as the ACTUAL, ELECTED President

To be followed by his duly elected successor, John Kerry.

[sweetheart]

14. barney

is the real president.

Miss beasley is the first lady... Their servants are a family of ponces
who can't be trusted not to steal the dog biscuts... but barney
is just a happy go lucky leader, and is willing to sign any legislation
or bark at any garbage truck.

[DaveinMD]

15. Bartlett

is my president.

[AX10]

16. !The duly ELECTED President of the USA: President Al Gore!

:dem::dem::dem::dem::dem::dem::dem::dem::dem::dem::dem::dem::dem::dem::dem::dem::dem::dem::dem::dem::dem::dem::dem::dem::dem::dem::dem::dem::dem::dem::dem::dem::dem::dem::dem::dem::dem::dem::dem::dem::dem::dem::dem::dem::dem::dem::dem::dem::dem::dem::dem:
:dem::dem:

Albert Arnold Gore, elected the President of the United States of America on November 7th, 2000.

[madokie]

18. Al Gore belongs in this office

[Orsino]

19. Clinton--the last one sworn in after a real election.

He's doing a shitty job, too.

[GatoLover]

20. How could Gore be the "real" president?

He didn't run in 2004.

[SPKrazy]

27. Well Gato Lover Considering He won in 2000! He would have been

The incumbent and could have easily won a 2nd term!

Yes He did win in 2000!

[GatoLover]

28. Does that make Kerry a pretender???

:-) I'm not serious, just playing around!

[manic expression]

22. It sucks,

but it's true. Bush is the president of the USA.

It doesn't matter that Gore should have or even DID win the 2000 election, or that Bush is a puppet for an unknown number of fascists, or that Kerry was robbed in 2004, or that Bush is among the worst leaders in history since Commodus. It doesn't matter, he is technically the president.

It is terrible and sickening and disgusting and more, but it's the truth, and that's what we need to change.

[Johonny]

23. I vote for no one

Clearly Bush has the title but his head is a void. Into the void comes many policies pushed by this trusted butt kisser or that trusted butt kisser. All these people have their own agenda. Most agendas are set in stone long before 2000 and are failed or unfair policies long abandon by our country. The country thus blows with the wind with no concentration on the problems facing America today, tomorrow and in the future. We are at war but have long since forgotten exactly why we started it and how we were going to get out of it. We are reformed Medicare and social security and schools and environmental protection. Sort of. Today we talk about it. Three months later it the subject may resurface. There's a 6 month SS reform tour that has one simple fault. The president doesn't have an actual policy to push. For 6 months he fails to define any 1 aspect of his policy just a sort of general guide line of thing he might do. The presidency is one long campaign ad with promise of a bright future but no desire to do the work to figure out how we get there. There are quicky Republican stamped bill passed and signed. Yet not a single law in the last 5 years has help any American in the midddle class or poor. Most bills are poorly written, or funding of the programs simply forgotten like no child left behind. Someone will eventually have to clean the mess up. That’s the guy I feel bad for.

[nini]

24. I can honestly say I don't consider anyone to be

we may have someone in that position, but it is not legal, he's not upholding what he swore he would and he is a disgrace to what America stands for.

We are a country in a tailspin with no one legitimate in control.

[triguy46]

25. As I heard in a meeting yesterday, Tito Fuentes. n/t

[JanusAscending]

30. He's Dead !

Just like shrubs "brain"?

[triguy46]

31. But his spirit lives on and on...

[JanusAscending]

32. You got that right!! Love him!!

MUCHO CALIENTE' :applause: DC

[Neil Lisst]

26. I answered this question graphically last month

[DemGirl7]

33. no one

I refuse to consider Bush as the President, but at the same time I really don't consider anyone esle, because do to the fact both Gore & Kerry really won the past two elections, I can't choose one over the other. So I don't really consider anyone to be President right now, I see now as a period of uncertainty.
