Mount Rushmore of US Presidents

stevew · 08-04-2011, 10:00 PM

This is probably going to be hard to decide because we've had a bunch if really good leaders. In the interest of perspective, we probably want to eliminate anyone from the last 86 years.

My 4

George Washington-He's #1 and an easy choice. Easy first ballot hall of Rushmore service career

Thomas Jefferson- Looking back, he really liked the punani. That might exclude him in our current times, going outside of his marriage and all. But it's not like he treated his lover like a slave. A lot of his writing was the basis for America as we know it.

Abraham Lincoln- emancipated the slaves and destroyed a treasonous rebellion.

the first 3 were pretty easy.

Teddy Roosevelt- maybe a stretch? His battlefield leadership and fiery personality push him over the top I think.

86 seems like such a random cutoff, though. Why that and not 82, or 90?

Trying to exclude Calvin Coolidge from the discussion?

DanGarion · 08-04-2011, 10:06 PM

Come on.

Carter,
Nixon,
GWB,
and Harding!

I pick George Washington, Bill Clinton, Tiny Lister from the 5th Element- and they better make sure they carve his eyes to look in two different directions- and David Palmer from 24.

Now that you mention it ... This.

DougW · 08-05-2011, 04:24 AM

Good stuff.

This took me a minute, but I got it eventually.

Cute, stevew. But your understanding of history in regards to Abraham Lincoln needs some serious work. Your description of the 16th president is inaccurate, on both accounts.

Beat me to it - well done

Passacaglia · 08-05-2011, 08:18 AM

Pretty sure he chose 86 years so that it has to be someone who was President before any of us were born. Buccaneer's 86, right?

I hope they add a 5th face and put Obama on there.

Well, that gives a different meaning to 'mount' than I was thinking here.

Mount Rushmore was established in 1925.

larrymcg421 · 08-05-2011, 11:52 AM

Took me longer to figure out than I would like to admit.

BillJasper · 08-05-2011, 12:07 PM

Washington, Lincoln, Reagan and Clinton.

JediKooter · 08-05-2011, 12:09 PM

Adams, Adams, Roosevelt, Roosevelt.

larrymcg421 · 08-05-2011, 12:10 PM

Don't forget Alexander Haig. Definitely a "take charge" kinda guy.

Buccaneer is not really 86.

Pumpy Tudors · 08-05-2011, 01:13 PM

I don't get what's so "Mount Rushmore" about the presidents stevew listed. And what's up with the rain on that street in Savannah? And what's the deal with airline food?

mckerney · 08-05-2011, 01:26 PM

John Hanson - Deserving of the first spot for being our first president.
Martin Sheen - Following a distinguished military career he was Attorney General before serving 4 terms as president. In office he's best known for saving Social Security.
Pete Rozelle - Destroyed a treasonous rebellion.
Teddy Roosevelt - His service as president is overshadowed by his other accomplishment that really earns him this spot, being America's foremost Bigfoot hunter.

ISiddiqui · 08-05-2011, 01:49 PM

Don't forget Pete Incaviglia.

sabotai · 08-05-2011, 02:16 PM

Christina Applegate
Joan Rivers
Gena Davis
Patty Duke

Pumpy Tudors · 08-05-2011, 02:17 PM

I DON'T GET IT!!!!!!!!!!

JediKooter · 08-05-2011, 03:25 PM

Red Foxx
Red Skelton
Red Adair
Shecky Green

CU Tiger · 08-05-2011, 09:14 PM

Taft
LBJ
GWBush
Obama

bronconick · 08-05-2011, 09:56 PM

Thomas J. Whitmore

Obama killed Bin Laden

Whitmore destroyed an alien race and gave a better speech then anything I've heard from other presidents in the last few decades.

tarcone · 08-05-2011, 10:11 PM

Dont forget Andrew Shepherd. Hes gonna get the guns, even if he has to go door to door.

He also failed to mention all the vampires he slew.
