1. Oh hell, without a doubt Yoda
seriously, would there be any competition. The guy knows how to solve things peacefully and when peace doesn't work he knows how to kick some serious buttocks!

2. It's almost unfair to put Yoda in there.
Though I would vote Kenobi in as the runner up.

3. Yoda as the Pres, Obi Wan as the Vice Pres
hmm... you could get everyone on that list into some position within the administration.

5. I always wondered who she was talking about
when she said in ROTJ 'that many people died to bring us this information' and then got that sad look.

12. Bothans
yes, I couldn't remember the name of the species, but i assume from the look on her face that someone close to her died. and I wondered who that was.

7. I voted for Yoda, but
My heart is with Chewy! I mean, we can't really understand what is coming out of the current president's mouth, so what's the real difference?

14. What your planet can do for you ask not. What you do for planet ask you.

Inhale Yoda did not.
Sexual relations with that woman Yoda have not.
Forgot Poland you have.
Major league asshole he is.
Love you long time Yoda will.
Weapons of Mass Destrucion has Iraq. Attack we must.
Preserve marriage we will. Amendment we must have.
Somewhere those WMD's must be. Under my desk they are not.
Yoda's lips you read: No new taxes.
Old saying on Degoba we have. Once you fool me, on you shame. Twice you fool me, on me shame.

11. Yoda for pres, Han would make a good senator
He'd be Galloway-esque, if he could get past the scandals of his somewhat shady past.

Also check out the admirals credentials and tell me if you too think that this guy is the Wesley Clark of the alliance.

Those Jedi, Yoda in particular, are nice guys but that would be a little to much like electing a priest president. ;)
