Martin Luther != Martin Luther King, Jr.
True, but if I was still in shape with my primitive graphics tools and Stardock hosted pics directly, I could do a decent Venn diagram showing a pretty good set of traits in the intersection of those two dudes. I don't have historical population info handy, but I wouldn't be that surprised to find out that MLK's leadership reached even more people than Luther's did, at least during the latter's lifetime. They were both definitely big on speaking truth to power, and they had decently raunchy sides, although MLK was (necessarily?) a secretive prude about his.
But really, lifekatana, you shouldn't wish the presidency on your worst enemy. Gaining that office is like some horrible collision between having a religious conversion and getting dosed with powerful pyschedelics without having the least idea about set-setting-dosage guidelines. And it doesn't help that no small few of them end up on factory meds that help them 'stay productive' while they're steadily growing less sane. Metal footballs with nuke codes, harmless party crashers who are somehow scary just because they got in, presidential ghosts wandering the halls--all that's bad enough without needing to see what happens when your best policy intentions go horribly awry because our genius framers thought that seriously efficient government was unwholesome.
Plus, holding the Oval Office seriously ages a motherfucker. Just pick any recent president who wasn't already cosmetically preserved and compare first election victory photos to pics of the man welcoming his successor after an inauguration.
