When it comes to winning the presidential elections, a lot of modern-day politicians tend to forget that they have to be likable to run the country.
It kind of goes like this:
1) Likability is an incredibly important factor.
2) George Clooney is one of the most likable people in Hollywood.
3) Do you really need step 3?
Clooney was also considered Hollywood’s most eligible bachelor until he married human rights lawyer Amal Alamuddin and with good reason! Just take a look at his long and impressive acting career, as well as his long and impressive history of capturing the hearts of millions of women around the world. He’s reportedly one of the kindest people in showbiz and in 2014, the New York Daily News even went as far as to say that Clooney could easily fit the role JFK left.
5. Tina Fey

You know, it’s not uncommon to see grumpy and overly serious politicians yelling at each other on TV.
In fact, Obama is one of the first modern-day presidents to realize how important it is that people see a friendly, smiling face instead of a face devoid of all emotions. Basically, a good sense of humor is essential to any position of power and there’s no one better to make the entire country laugh than comedian/writer Tina Fey.
Fey is best-known for her versatile skills as a humorist, although she’s no stranger to politics. Millions of people have seen her impersonation of former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin because of two reasons – it was hilarious to the point of spitting your beverage and it was pretty close to the real deal.
6. Oprah Winfrey

The host of one of the most popular talk shows in the world is one of the most powerful media moguls in American history and she has dwelled in the world of politics before.
She’s got the posture, she’s got the wits, she’s got the brawn. Also, her fiery temperament is not to be taken lightly and most importantly, she has years and years of experience in front of the camera.
Additionally, her candidacy would generate a whole heap of support among African-American voters, as well as females all around the country. That would mean she would be the second black president to run the United States and we can’t help but wonder if it would work out. Oh, and let’s not forget that Oprah’s very, very deep pockets could easily finance her campaign.
