TV Guide channel actually has a special on many times today (Sunday, 1/18) called "Hollywood Presidents: Hail to the Chief". all actors who portrayed POTUS in tv and film. it's pretty interesting. didn't know George Clooney was one in "Spy Kids 3-D".

I don't completely agree with the bit about assault weapons. But damn is that a great speech at the end of The American President.

President Skroob wasn't an American President he was the President of Planet Spaceball so he could've been any nationality.
