Russia has just invaded Georgia and Ukraine. They are marching west, and have essentially turned off the spigots sending Europe into a disaster. The US and NATO have to decide whether or not to defend the sovereignty of those future NATO members.
During this crisis, other regions have decided to take advantage of the situation. China tries to walk into Taiwan, Iran sends troops into Iraq, and genocide is swarming across Africa.
Russia has fueled up its ICBMs.
Its one minute til midnight. Whose finger do you want on the button?

Honestly, in this sort of scenario I don't see a lot of difference. I would trust any C-i-C to deal with such a crisis. It's a bad situation, no matter who you've got in charge.
I suppose my weakest confidences would be in Carter and Bush II. The other four would have my full confidence. It's tough to discern the difference, since none has been tested in such a way.

I also agree on your two choices on who shouldn't handle it. I wouldn't want Obama in the hot seat either though.
I do think there's a difference though. In the late 70s during a nuclear war exercise, Air Force One took off without Carter, meaning Washington would have been a nuclear inferno while the country has chain of command issues during the critical stage of a nuclear war.
Surprise, surprise, surprise!

We should start a thread named "Who here has the biggest hard on for President Reagan?"
Choices would include:
Gomer Pyle
Gomer Pyle
Gomer Pyle

I think it's fair to ask...if Reagan is in the hotseat, is this early 80s, totally with it Reagan, or late 80s and on Reagan?
