His proponents attribute mythical qualities and false achievements to him. He has become a fictional President.

in Fail Safe he made a decision so difficult and horrendous to comprehend that i seriously doubt that any real american president could make the same important decision.

I still say he is one of the reasons that people were able to accept a black man as President. He was amazing!

That movie is as cheesy as can be, but it's one of my favorite movies of all time. MUST viewing in the Cannon household every July 4th Weekend.

And this is the most inspiring speech by any movie President ever:

Fictional character biography

Martha Rickard, of Steadfast, Middle America, named her son Prez because she thought he should someday be President. Having made the clocks of Steadfast, whose towers were so out of sync that the town heard a constant chiming, run on time, he was hired as a front for shady businessman Boss Smiley to run for United States Senator after the eligibility age was lowered. An idealist, he rebelled against Smiley. With 45% of voters under 30, the youthful Congress passed an amendment lowering the eligibility age for the presidency and Senator Rickard was voted President of the United States. He appointed his mother, Martha, Vice President and made his sister his secretary.

Prez' most significant collaborator was Eagle Free, a young Native American who had a deep understanding of animals. He lived in a cave well-stocked with books about them, but got most of his knowledge firsthand. Prez appointted him director of the FBI. Eagle Free wore a headband with a feather, braids, and no shirt, and was often accompanied by a menagerie of native and non-native animals. Eagle Free trained Prez in multiple fighting techniques. This was never shown, but it was referred to when he utilized them.
