Jon Voight in "Pearl Harbor"
Voight is said to have been "credible" as President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 2001's "Pearl Harbor."

Josh Brolin in "W."
In our view, Brolin was totally overlooked during awards season for his performance as George W. Bush in 2008's "W."

John Travolta in "Primary Colors"
Travolta was nominated for a Golden Globe for his role in 1998's "Primary Colors," which was loosely based on Bill Clinton.

A terrorist takes President James Marshall (Ford) hostage in this 1997 American action flick. Come on … you know Ford's going to save the day.

It's a little corny, but we're suckers for this 1995 romantic comedy about a widower president who pursues a lovely environmental lobbyist.

Hollywood has a new President. The first photo of Daniel Day-Lewis as Abraham Lincoln in next year's "Lincoln" has emerged, and it's pretty convincing. (Daniel, you had us at the beard.)
The shot of Day-Lewis as Lincoln -- taken by Twitter user Michael Phillips (@uvamichael) -- has stirred up a lot of buzz for the December 2012 flick.
Based on historian Doris Kearns Goodwin's 2005 biography "Team of Rivals: The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln," the Steven Spielberg movie focuses on the final months of Lincoln's life (and presidency). Tommy Lee Jones will play Republican leader Thaddeus Stevens; James Spader, Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Sally Field have also been cast.
But when it comes to pretend presidents, there are so many good ones to choose from. From Day-Lewis in "Lincoln" to Harrison Ford's fictional president in "Air Force One" to Josh Brolin in "W.," click through our slideshow and let us know: Which actor made the most convincing president?

While we're at it, let's get rid of all the regulation standing in the way of big business being able to over compete with small business, so they can destroy all the small business competition. It will also allow big business to grow into Mega-Corporations that are too big to fail, requiring the need for the federal government to always step in to bail them out with taxpayer money. It will also allow them to hold the strings in Washington D.C., controlling every move all Conservative politicians, and even some Democrats make.
This is what we got from Regan, and I think if he really knew what would be the result of his efforts, he never would have done it.
All paid for by the rich!
Which actor made the best President?
