View Full Version : If all the board members were Presidents, what would our approval ratings be?

Yeah, I'm bored. ;)

So which board members do you think would have high approval ratings? Who has low approval ratings?

Who would be the FDR of the board, always scoring soaringly high ratings throughout his four-term presidency (I'd go with Echewta on this...).

Who would be like Bush? Always has wishy-washy ratings and then a catostrophe occurs and ascends to 90% approval ratings but then eventually declines right back to where he usually is (just above, or just below, 50%) and remains a completely polarizing figure?

Which member is Clinton-esque and would be caught in a sex scandal but still maintains consistantly strong ratings even as he's being threatened with impeachment.

Yeah, this is an odd as fuck question, but just run with it, okay?

So you're basically a rogue to your own political party and you piss off the South by speaking out against lynchings and invite Booker T. Washington to a White House dinner?

You do seem to speak loudly and poke everyone with a big stick, though (particularly the females ;) ). Not very Roosevelt like there. :p

Whatever you want. Question is, would you be a popular Prime Minister (Pearson)? Or an unpopular Prime Minister (Mulroney)?

You're just worshipped, Echewta. And you're such a strong leader (thus why you're always a poll option, no matter what), you'd totally lead us through whatever war comes our way.

As a social studies teacher i am totally appalled as to what you all think is a president, some of your responses are not even close to what a president is

so maybe someone can specify what a president is

is it an actual president of the United States of America or who you would like the president to be

Looks like I just flunked your class cause I have no clue what the fuck you're talking about. :p

This thread is really meant to say: "Pick whatever President that reflects your own popularity to this message board..."

What more do you need, teach? :rolleyes:

Well some people have picked people who weren't President (like me, Monica) I think that's what she was talking about. Of course, I think MOST of them were jokes.

I'd be Gough Whitlam. After gaining an unasailable lead in the election he basically put forward all these groundbreaking changes to legislation before he was even declared the official winner :D

"Unwilling to wait, Whitlam, as soon as the overall result was beyond doubt, had himself and Deputy Leader Lance Barnard sworn in as a two-man government, holding all the portfolios between them"

He abolished university fees and made it free provided you got the marks to get in. He set up links with communist countries like china at a time during the cold war when nobody else would. He introduced single parent family benefits, abolished the death penalty, reduced the voting age from 21 (i think) to 18, abolished the last remnants of the "white australia policy", fought for equal opportunity for women (at least in governmental positions) & established an aboriginal affairs committee. He was an allround good guy except for the fact that he "allowed" east timor to be butchered by Indonesia because he wanted to establish links with Indonesia.
