Players
Round 1:
If you could choose any living human being to be the President of the United States of America, who would it be and why? (Remember, he/she doesn’t have to be over 35, born in America, or free of any criminal activity. It’s up to you.)
Answers (from CJ, Emily, Jess, Johnny, Mary, Mikey, Robyn):
1. Since all I can think about these days is baseball, I think it'd be fun to have Joe Torre in the Oval Office for a while. :)
2. Bill Cosby--I actually saw an opinion piece the other day that said that we need a president like Bill Cosby who would actually have the cajones to tell parents that they need to step up and make sure their kids are getting a good education or something like that
3. My answer to your first question is James McGreevey, NJ's governor because he is a credible man and has done alot to help the citizens of my state.
4. I'm gonna go with Jon Stewart. Methinks the joker perchance could save the kingdom, if you catch my drift.
5. Allen Iverson. America has problems. He is the Answer.
6. 50 Cent....cuz he's been hit with a few shells and he don't walk wit a limp. Aka he won't need a Special Service Unit.
7. Robert Goodfellow III
Nicole got 5 correct (CJ, Emily, Jess, Mary, and Mikey)

Robyn = 4
Round 2:
If you could choose any dead human being to be the President of the United States of America, who would it be and why? (They wouldn’t need to govern while dead; imagine if they were still alive.)
Answers (from Emily, Jess, Johnny, Mikey, Nicole, Sami):
1. George Washington...Carver. Ha!
2. lucille ball. let's laugh at a president who's actually trying to be funny.
3. Walter Elias Disney. I mean, what more can you want? An organized leader who never stops dreaming of a better tomorrow. Whether it is good for the environment such as the WEDWay PeopleMover or if it is advancing technology and its usages in the home or if it is the further exploration of space, he never ceases on his journey to discovery.
4. james buchanan. give the pennsy boy another chance b/c he sucked it up the first time.
5. Jimi Hendrix, cause then it would be the Rocking States of America
6. I would pick James Earl Jones. What? He's not dead? Curse you, Nick! I'll say William Henry Harrison, since he never got a real chance the first time around.
Mary got 2 correct (Emily and Jess)
Correct Answers:
Emily = 1
Jess = 4
Johnny = 3
Mikey = 6
Nicole = 2
Sami = 5
Round 3:
If, as President, you were given the opportunity to change the National Anthem, what would you change it to?
Answers (from Jess, Johnny, Mary, Mikey, Nicole, and Robyn):
1. i would have to change the national anthem to "one nation under a groove (getting down just for the funk of it)"--- think how fun it will be to see people sing that at a baseball game
2. easy like sunday morning. the world would be a lot better if america were easy like sunday morning (or me)
3. I think it would be excellent to adopt the Kerry Campaign theme song. "Let's Get it Started"! (That, of course, ignores the fact that the original lyrics were Lets Get Retarded and a line in the song is.."lets get into it, get stupid.")
4. C Is for Cookie. That’s good enough for me.
5. The obvious answer to this question is DafPunk "one more time"..its lyrics about "celebrate and dance for free/music's got me feeling so free" reflect the American spirit of freedom, and the title its persaverance. Although, anything by sinatra is a close second, as clearly Italian Americans are the backbone of this country.....where would we be w/o cement workers and pizza?
6. I would change it to Rock & Roll Part II by Gary Glitter. Don't tell me playing that before a sporting event wouldn't get the crowd fired up. People might stop dreading getting to games early. Side note: I would also change "Hail to the Chief" to the Imperial March from Star Wars.
Emily got 2 correct (Jess and Nicole)
Correct Answers:
Jess = 2
Johnny = 4
Mary = 3
Mikey = 6
Nicole = 1
Robyn = 5
Round 4:
If you could elect any of our friends to be President, who would it be and why? (And no self-voting, cheaters.)
Answers (from Emily, Jess, Johnny, Mikey, and Nicole):
1. nick jones. who's nick jones anyway?
2. I’d pick Emily. She’d be the only President to hope the opposite party has filibusters…filibusters delay things…Emily likes slacking off…Get it?
3. gotta be the man behind the woman behind the man (sounds kinky...) Robert Goodfellow.
4. I would elect the D Bizzle. Because sadly this country is not ready to have a Black President, but at least we could have the next best thing--a white guy with a 'fro.
5. Mikey. That way, we could play our games in the White House as opposed to the Pink House
Robyn got 3 correct (Jess, Mikey, and Nicole)
Correct Answers:
Emily = 2
Johnny = 3
Mikey = 1
Nicole = 4
Nicole is the winner!
