President's Day: Best and Worst of the fictional Presidents

Chowdaheads-It seemed like a good idea at the time: President's Day: Best and Worst of the fictional Presidents

Great piece on the the best and worst presidents. If I can put in my two cents:

Best Presidents:
Morgan Freeman in Deep Impact. Really, he rocked as president. I'd see a movie of his if he played a Home Depot Manager.

Worst Presidents:
EG Marshall and Richard Basehart. I think in the 1970s, they took turns playing presidents in almost all of the movies. They fit the old white guy mold. Or is that mould?

There she was amid more lights than a Hollywood premier and more cables than a Frankenstein movie. All of her gear and personal effects filled a shopping buggy. I felt a little bit of pity. When I see the same people in front of the camera at 6AM and 5PM and 11PM, I think: "Where is Labour Relations? How can these people be forced to pepper a 17 hour day with three newscasts?"
