My autcorrect is joining in. Enjoy
She is psyched :o

Then Marty McFly bursts in and shouts "Nobody puts Boris in the corner." That really did make me laugh out loud.

[Fluffyears]

If you are a former president you can still use that title. So if Hilary gets elected both her and her husband can use the title 'president Clinton' which is weird.

Presumably the OP is in a corner somewhere wearing a dunce's hat? .

This has me doing shock and grin alternately! How old are you?!

True story: The Madness of King George III had to drop the "III" for the movie because the producers thought too many people would think they'd missed parts one and two.

Bill Clinton

The term limits voted in after Roosevelt's presidency* had less to do with the job being taxing for health and more to do with Republicans not wanting a Democrat in the office of president for such a long time.

They regretted this mightily when Reagan could easily have been elected to a third term if that law hadn't been in place.

*Franklin, not Theodore (his uncle), who was also President.

[RudeElf]

Hill Clinton

[lostincumbria]

Big Bush

Little Bush, cardboard Bush?

[Sprink]

*cousin, not uncle! Feck.

[SuburbanRhonda]

They were both cardboard Bush, lost

[Owllady]

Hill and billary are cousins?

[lorelei9]

Thomas, loads of us have referenced West Wing....

Some folks may not know how a president was elected but surely they can tell the difference between Bush father and son - and Clinton husband and wife??
Farking hell. This is highly entertaining and somewhat disturbing.

Watch or read the news!

Also, President John Adams was father to President John Quincy Adams.

President William Henry Harrison was grandfather to President Benjamin Harrison.

Had it not been for the assassination, Robert Kennedy would probabl have become President like his big brother John.

Basically, America has been governed by the same 6-10 families for centuries now.

This thread is the funniest fucking thing I've read on MN for ages.

It may have restored my faith

[AGazeofRaccoons]

Bartlett for America, all the way. Matt Santos close second.

Yep.

Did you know the Santos character was based on Obama when he was still a senator?

[BestIsWest]

Love this thread. I was coming on to say No, wait! but remembered I was shocked only yesterday to discover Benjamin Franklin was never president so what do I know.

If you are a former president you can still use that title. So if Hilary gets elected both her and her husband can use the title 'president Clinton' which is weird.

Fluffyears, that's not technically correct. Former presidents are formally styled by the last office they held before being elected President, so Bill Clinton is properly referred to as Governor. Hillary would be Senator, I imagine, rather than Secretary of State (possibly because that's appointed, not elected.)

Don't let the movies and ignorant media fool you.
