Is this a thinly disguised Hitler thread?

Definitely not him. We will never know

Brother Malcolm is definitely up there

Brian Blessed

hands down

If he wasn't goodlooking or charismatic, I doubt people would give much of a fuck regarding JFK.
>>
>>293204
Obama is up there, honestly.
>>
>>293671
wait, people doubt that?
>>
>>293204
This is such a broad and impossible question to answer but the first voice that came to mind for me was George Whitefield.

Maybe he was just best orator but his voice was awesomely unique as well

Some /pol/tard will probably say he developed his voice to use Black Muslim hypnosis and sway the crowds.

Obama is great.
He became president of a country in which half of it's people hate him, half of those people want him dead and the rest of the government is made up mostly of people who opposed him for the sake of opposing him.

/pol/ ain't here yet so we can say this in peace, but I would confidently say the man is one of the better president's of the USA. And god knows he's easily one of the most charismatic.
>>
>>293492
Not even that. If he hadn't died in office, people would have ended up blaming him for Vietnam and gotten tired of his sex scandals. He'd be seen as a combination of the worst aspects of Clinton and Bush.
>>
Seriously? Hitler. He could tell people all those things and make a whole nation go against the world, by words
>>
>>294715
You mean he was voted in because he had black skin and related to minorities? That's cute.

>posting politicians.

It's obviously going to be an actor. It's their entire livelihood in a way it isn't for a politician.
I'll go for Gielgud, the voice once described by Alec Guinness as a "silver trumpet muffled in silk."

>>294715
Trying to count better presidents than Obama:
>Bush: no
>Clinton: he got lucky. No
>Bush: like his son only not as inept. No
>Reagan: Fuck no
>Carter - no
>Ford- who cares
>Nixon - he may have literally been the Antichrist
>Johnson - crazy as fuck, started Vietnam, no
>JFK - only 2 years, not enough to judge
>Eisenhower - yes

Shit. As inept as he was, he's better than any president in the last 50 years.
>>
>>293204
Someone who has a very deep, authoratative voice. JFK and Obama as someone else mentioned, don't apply.
>>
I wish we had a president with Lance Henriksen's or Michael Ironside's voice. That shit is GOAT.

Obama is just as much of a meme president as his predecessors. He's spending his final years closing military prisons because terrorists dindu nothan, and the worst inmates have to be moved to other installments. The presidency is basically a joke now and the fact that Obama is throwing money away to satiate the soccer moms is proof of that.
>>

>Obama > Nixon
Debatable. Nixon was a shit dude but he came out not far under par for his term.

Holy shit mayne. You got the faggotry hat-trick. You might as well start taking dicks in your mouth and ass, it won't make a difference anymore.
