Speaking of Presidents Day (or week), I may have to start campaigning for Shaun White, one American who really seems to be able to get something done. Another great American (fictional though he may be) is Bill Pullman's POTUS from "Independence Day," with one of my favorite guilty-pleasure movie speeches. Maybe other than "Newsies" this may be the only time I've really liked Pullman (who ranks just behind Bill Paxton on my least favorite actors of all time list ... which I may have to actually compile some day).
