Bill Gates for President
The Dilbert Blog: Bill Gates for President
For my president I want a mixture of Mother Teresa, Carl Sagan, Warren Buffet, and Darth Vader. Bill has all of their good stuff. His foundation will save more lives than Mother Teresa ever did. He’s got the Carl Sagan intelligence and rational mind. He’s a hugely successful businessman. And I have every reason to believe he can choke people just by concentrating in their general direction. You can’t tell me that wouldn’t be useful at a summit.
Hey, he’d likely do less harm to the technological world from the White House than he has from Redmond. And if he has a serious problem, he can always buy his way out of it. After ensuring that North Korea uses Windows (pirated, no doubt), he could buy all of North Korea’s nukes and then issue a Service Pack to hack into their machines and get the money back. Problem solved. See? Government and the private sector can work together to solve the world’s problems!
Except Middle East peace. That’s just impossible.

Gates? Why not Steve Jobs? He seems more of a miracle worker.

C’mon, do you really think Augie would put Jobs in an evil government position? ;)

Ballmer then? Something would certainly happen.

You think Mr. Monkey Dance would be better than Bill Gates as President?
… well, THE DAILY SHOW would certainly be even more popular than it is now, I suppose….

Not better, no. It’s just that his inauguration speech would be one of the best viral videos ever. And would probably cause at least one international incident.
