\"fred-thompson.jpg\"<\/a>Regarding a presidential bid in the 2008 race, Fred Thompson said yesterday: “I’m giving some thought to it, going to leave the door open” and decide in the coming months. “It’s not really a reflection on the current field at all,” he said.<\/p>\n

Obama, Hillary Clinton, Thompson all lining up to run for president. We might actually have a fun presidential race for a change. They laughed at Ronald Reagan when he ran. But in retrospect everything I’ve read about Reagan’s presidency is pretty favorable.<\/p>\n

We currently have a life-long politician in office. I’m not one to know much about politics, but it’s fair to say many things are going less-than-perfect on Capitol Hill these days. You can say what you like about Schwarzenegger and Reagan, but can you say it wasn’t fun?<\/p>\n

Fred Thompson’s movies are way cool. He’s usually on the “good” side. Same qualities Arnold Schwarzenegger has. Fred Thompson is a much better actor. I think better actors should be able to be President instead of just governor. Oh, you say Arnold wasn’t born in the US so he can’t be president? That’s just a technicality, the real reason is his acting.<\/p>\n

Forget about his political views and work, that’s boring. Let’s get to the good stuff. Here’s the movies he has been in.<\/p>\n

Cape Fear, Die Hard II. C’mon people, this is our man! I’d like to see a three way presidency with Fred Thompson, Obama and Hillary Clinton. And instead of boring presidential debates next year, I think they should review film clips.<\/p>\n

Yes, this post is tongue-in-cheek and superficial. Not superficial because it mentions actors; superficial because it mentions politics.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
