Would Super Villains Do a Better Job Running the Country Than Obama?

By any honest measurement Barack Hussein Obama has been a dismal failure as a President. Few if any Presidents have been given as much power in their first term as Obama and done so little. In fact for two years he had an unassailable super majority in congress and still his administration has been unable to do something as simple as craft a budget much less control runaway unemployment, a crippling deficit, and the terrorist overthrow of the middle east. While contemplating how anyone could do much worse than Obama, it came to me: Obama is such a failure that he makes traditional super villains and science fiction dictators look good in comparison. I thought I would compare the achievements of some of the worst bad guys in sci-fi history to Obama. I will rank each villain as low, moderate, or high in four different categories and see how Obama stacks up.

"The Barack Obama "Joker" poster is a digitally manipulated image of United States President Barack Obama, designed by Firas Alkhateeb in January 2009, that has been adopted by some critics of the Obama administration and described as the "most infamous anti-Obama image".[1][2][3] The image portrays Obama as comic book supervillain, the Joker, based on the portrayal by Heath Ledger in The Dark Knight.[4]"

I’d prefer Destro. Cobra Commander had a really annoying voice. Plus, Destro’s head was shiny.

[Chode]

couldn't do any worse...

An authentic Half-black...

Either Kang or Kodos would be good.

[Lizavetta]

Tennessee Tuxedo would be better than this puppet we currently have as our “leader”.

[Secret Agent Man]

It’d be easier to declare treason and war on super-villians.

It's a little outdated, but here's one for Stargate fans:

There was a comic back in the day that had Doctor Doom take over the US, and as a semi-benevolent dictator, actually cleans up a lot problems (reduces crime, still allows free speech, breaks the Fed, cleans up the environment, flattens the government bureaucracy, and removes all regulations from the "Internet"). Yep, I'd vote for Doom. Except he doesn't tolerate elections.

Well, he puts on his cape and jumps from piece of furniture to furniture doing his evil laugh. ;-)

[who knows what evil?]

The evil laugh is an IMPORTANT first step...

If you are a liberal Doom is an idea candidate. He stands for most of the same values.

Sinestro -

Political Experience: Medium - Ruled his home planet for a number of years. Conquered the planet and used fear to control the population.

Unemployment/Economy: High - His planet seemed to enjoy a fairly robust economic life while he was in charge.

Morality: Medium - Though his intent of safety and order for his people was pure, his means of attaining it were wrong.

Foreign Policy: Medium - He is literally willing to give his life for those he protects. He has fought off alien invasions and made allies when necessary to attempt to protect his planet.

At least with General Zod in charge, people will be kneeling before our leader rather than our leader bowing before others.

Skeletor? I think I voted for him in 08...oh wait that was McCain....:) Uncanny resemblance.
