Who would you want as President right now?

[LiberalFighter]

Poll question: Who would you want as President right now?

McCain is included because he was the 2008 nominee for them.
Bush is included because he was President and if term limit was not in effect he would probably be the 2008 nominee.

1. Push-Poll anyone? eom

[LiberalFighter]

8. How is this a push poll?

[stevenleser]

32. LOL, is that what ignored said? Its like they heard that a "push poll" was a bad thing and they

threw it out there without any understanding of what it meant, because they didnt like the poll.

[hamerfan]

39. Hi, I'm sorry...

I don't get around here much, but in the short time I have I need to ask stevenleser if there is anyone here who is NOT on his ignore list?
Just sayin'....
hamerfan
PS... Poor poll, not near enough qualified choices. Sorry again

[stevenleser]

40. Sure. People who do not have kneejerk hatred of Obama are not on it.

Thanks for your interest

p.s., Great poll.

[SoxFan]

38. Hillary wasn't on the list

2. Which one is the strongest swimmer? nt

[DoBotherMe]

3. John Kerry

I can't help myself. :shrug: Dana ; )

[sandnsea]

7. There's a John Kerry forum

I don't recall seeing you there. It's in the Democrats groups.

But JK has backed Obama 150%, almost better than anyone. If anything else should have been done, he would certainly have beelined to the White House to let them know.

[DoBotherMe]

13. I'm DanaM from long ago

I signed a couple birthday cards and posted during those heady (and sexy) days before and right after the '04 election. I still read the forum, but have little time to post much on any forum. He's still my fav pol and Vet. Thanks for the invite! Dana ; )

37. Hi there

:hi:

My favorite too, but this is a weird thread. The reality is that Obama as President has an agenda very like what Kerry ran on. I watched a 50 minute Q & A that Kerry had with the media yesterday. He gave a passionate defense of the remarkable accomplishments that the Obama administration has had in spite of the incredible obstructionism of the Republicans. The defense was whole hearted and convincing.

Though there will always be a part of me that will wish that he had been given a fairer shot at the Presidency in 2004 than the media and powerful interests gave him, at this point he is working incredibly hard for the things he has fought for all his life. He will never be President, but in ways small and large he will have made the country better through all his activism - likely more than many who did become President.

Obama is well on the way to being the President who created the most positive change since at least LBJ, and if he is able to help Kerry pass a comprehensive climate change bill that will transform our economy, as it helps limit the impact of climate change as it leads to cleaner energy, since FDR. I saw Kerry speak in Hyannis on the eve of the 2008 election, unlike some would be in his position, he was clearly 100% behind Obama without a trace of envy.

45. It's personal with me

I just prefer Kerry because I've known him longer and did a lot of GOTV for him. I suspect that John is Barack's go-to mentor in most things. Just because I prefer Kerry doesn't mean I don't believe Obama has the same qualities necessary for leadership, I'm very relieved that he is President and will work hard to get him re-elected. Dana ; )

[karynnj]

48. You'll get no argument from me on this

I prefer Kerry because there is no one in politics I trust or respect more. On foreign policy, where there have been some disagreements, I far prefer Kerry.

[BlueIris]

Any other day, this would have been my response, too.

Kinda wish I'd had the guts to write him in during 2008, which was my original plan. I'll have to live my other vote(s) for the rest of my life...

5. You make Zogby and Rasmussen proud!

:thumbsdown:

You will get your answer on Nov 2012.

[LakeSamish706]

6. Gee, thats a really good poll "NOT". n/t

[Enrique]

9. McCain would have suspended his campaign

Bush would have smoked em out.

[FirstLight]

10. Al Gore...

this drilling would have never happened if he had been able to serve his term...

[Seneca]

11. Jed Bartlett

[CrispyQ]

12. Bernie Sanders.

Or Alan Grayson.

Stupid poll - unrec.

[xiamiam]

14. alan grayson..nt

15. Stupid poll

I don't like the two neo-con choices.

[hlthe2b]

22. FDR

23. What purpose does this poll serve? NT

[polichick]

24. I want a true liberal/progressive who doesn't appoint industry tools to cabinet positions. nt

[izquierdista]

25. Can I vote for Jimmy Carter?

He's still alive.

[snake in the grass]

26. Either...

...Dennis Kucinich or Bernie Sanders, but none of the above.

[IndianaGreen]

28. John Kerry!

Kerry has proven leadership skills.

[Hawkowl]

29. Al Gore, Alan Grayson, Dennis Kucinch

Why don't you add Hitler and Stalin to your poll choices?

[TheKentuckian]

30. Lame, stupid, and pointless as a book by Sarah Palin UNREC!

If Obama plays his cards right he can pass Clinton for the best incarnation of Reagan.

Unka Ronnie rides on! What is this his 8th or 8th term? I think it's groovy that he's multiracial now. That's hip, modern, and refreshing!

[HughMoran]

43. you said it

lame, pointless and I'd unrec if I could unrec a post.

[TheKentuckian]

49. I wish you could too. I'd wear it as a badge of honor.

[LiberalFighter]

31. Apparently those objecting to poll would be happy with Bush or McCain as president currently.

[Sebastian Doyle]

33. Howard Dean

And make no mistake about it, if not for the backstabbing treasonous fucks in the DLC, we would be in year 6 of a Dean administration right now, and this country would be much better off for it.

[marshall]

34. Isn't that what's known as a Hobson's Choice?

Thank goodness we have what we do. There is no alternative.

[besdayz]

35. f

1.clinton (bill)
2. kucinich
3. ron paul

all three would've kicked the shit out of bp by now esp. the later 2 who would've pulled oil subsidies and all the cushy treatment between big oil and dpet of interior....the irony is that free market is what republicans (big business) are scared of. they couldn't handle living in a world where they had to compete with others fairly....

41. every president is unique and unique to his era.

I always hear conservatives wax about Reagan. and the dems was over JFK and FDR.
and everyone wishing these people were president now.
the funny thing is that none of them could be the same as they were in their time because the whole climate is different now.
the internet, blogs, 24-7 cable that thrives on conflict and shallowness. You have professionals whose whole thing is to keep the faux outrage going on both sides day after day. You have conservative media and zero fairness doctrine.
In today's climate I seriously doubt we would have the new deal or that FDR would be legendary and the best prez.

[salguine]

42. What a steaming pile of shit this fraudulent poll is.

[freddie mertz]

46. Gee, nice set of options there.

I wonder which one I would pick?

Unrecced as lame-ass flamebait.

[ThomThom]

47. so 10% of the people on this site are trolls?

interesting!!!! Do they get paid to come here? How much?

[TheKentuckian]

50. The God Emperor Leto II, King Solomon, Jean Luc Pickard, or Bernie Sanders

Leto would be the best we need a long range thinker and maybe a predator to cull the stupid and corrupt herd.

3,500 years of The Golden Path a few thousand years early is just what the doctor ordered. If we aren't going to actually have democracy and freedom then a true ruler is where it's at, it beats making 1984 look like a fairy tale for however long such a thing can sustain it's self.

Fantasy questions deserve fantasy answers

51. We've either got some practical jokers here or some lurking teabaggers signing up for accounts

As on this moment, there are nine votes for the Frat Boy. That's sick.
