Match #7: Richard Nixon vs. Abraham Lincoln

Nixon was able to demolish his opponent in the last round with some questionable tactics, but don't think it'll work again this time around. Lincoln would be ready and waiting for a handful of dirt. And even if Nixon tried it, Abe's patented top hat would protect him. Not to mention Nixon would have to throw it really high to get him in the face. Lincoln was freakishly tall.

Since Nixon and Lincoln only finished 5 and 4 years in office, respectively, the first three minutes of the match would be limited to taunting and name-calling.

Lincoln: "Four score and one match ago, my opponent was announced the victor of his previous duel. But I say that victory was stolen from his opponent!"
Nixon: "Bullshit! I won fair and square!"
Lincoln: "Nay, you stole from your opponent a fair match. You, sir, are a crook!"
Nixon: "I am not a crook!"
Lincoln: "Are, too!"
Nixon: "Are not!"
Lincoln: "Are, too!"
Nixon: "Are not!"
Lincoln: "Are, too!"
Nixon: "Eat the double peace signs, bitch!"


Nixon would then have one minute to openly attack Lincoln without recourse. Sadly for him, one minute is just not enough time. Abe could take hits for a minute no problem. And once that minute was up, go time. Lincoln would lay punch after honest punch into Nixon's face, one after another, as if each punch would free another slave. Those flabbity cheeks could absorb some of the impact, but Nixon would eventually bow out.

Lincoln: "Are, too."

Winner:



Match #8: Barack Obama vs. George Washington

Since Obama hasn't officially finished his tenure as President yet, we still can't determine how much beginning waiting time he'll have. As with the previous match, we'll give him the benefit of the doubt and award him time for one full term. Sadly for him, that still leaves him at a four minute disadvantage against our first President.

Obama may be quite the masculine guy, but he's also a smoker. Trying to survive for four minutes of beating with smoker's lungs? You're just not gonna fair well. He'll get through it, but by the end of those four minutes he'll be in such bad shape that Washington would have an easy time finishing him off.

This winning streak would cause Washington to get quite the ego boost. He'd place his foot on top of Barack's unconscious body and reenact the crossing of the Delaware. Then he'd pull out a dollar bill, yell out "I'm number 1!" and drop it at Obama's feet like Chris Rock dropping his mic, except not nearly as dramatic since a dollar bill would just sort of float to the ground. And it wouldn't make any sound, either. You know, now that I think about it, it's not like Chris Rock at all. Maybe he'd drop a few quarters instead? His face is on those, too. Although that's doesn't give the same "number 1" imagery as a dollar bill would. Maybe he wraps a dollar bill around four quarters. That would be sorta badass I guess.

Winner:



Man, I see in The Presidential Beatdown the strongest and smartest men who've ever lived. I see all this potential, and I see squandering. God damn it, an entire generation passing laws, signing peace treaties; slaves with white wigs. Secession from England had us chasing boats to the New World, working jobs we hate so we can buy tea without being taxed. We're the middle children of history, man. No purpose or place. We've had a few Great Wars. A Great Depression. We've all been raised to believe that one day we'd all be presidents. And we did. And we're very, very pissed off.

The Lincoln victory was really badass. And I mean, REALLY.

It's getting cooler. Can't wait until the quarterfinals. The H.W. versus W. being the highlight.

Oh wait, there's still Lincoln v Washington.

Awesome.

Lincoln vs Washington looks to be an epic battle. But being the Reagen fan that I am I'm rooting for him.

My predictions for next round

Bush Jr.- Not only would Herbert Walker not be able to hit his own son, but Bush II has the retard strength

Roosevelt- Reagan was pretty bad ass, but you can't beat Teddy.

Jackson- Ford doesn't stand a damn chance against Andy.

Lincoln- It would be a long hard fight, but Lincoln would win out.

Oh God, that leaves Jackson v. Lincoln. The world might just explode.

An honest win for Honest Abe. Well done, sir. Also, may I point out that both of Jackson's matches so far have just been "He's too badass the other guy doesn't stand a chance." I mean, even Teddy gets a real fight. But seriously, that Andy J is just unbeatable.

i was hoping obama could get a bit farther, on account of his blackness and all, but oh well...
i think teddy is gonna end up winning the competition, and GWB will come in second because he just doesnt know when to give up, and his monkey strength will carry him through ;)

I really hope that the final face-off is between Teddy Roosevelt and Andrew Jackson! That would just be a fight of epic proportions.

Boooo! bushes defesive abilities are CRAP!! look at him, he knows about a threat to attack america yet he's reading books to a kindergarten class as the country is torn in devistation. Aswell, he just goes and hides in his ranch while the country needs him the most... Arguably this match has been rigged for George W. Bush

I think Ford vs. Jackson is the only uninteresting match-up coming up... Then the semifinals, and the finals. Oh snap.

Dude, There is no way James K. Polk could lose to Gerald Ford. He's such a dark horse that he is still my pick to win the next round against Jackson. Ford served less than one term and was never even elected. The presidency just fell into his lap. Polk showed up late to the party, pointed at the other hooligans up for election and told the electorate they better choose him then any of the other punks. Then he went on to threaten the UK over the Oregon territory and picked up Washington and Oregon. He dared to "mess with Texas" and won, annexing the republic of Texas. That started a war with Mexico which was none too happy and Polk kicked their ass too, picking up AZ, NM, and Cali. He also established an independent treasury, made international tariffs fall, establishing free trade and issued the first postage stamps. He did all this in one term and decided not to even run for re-election because there was no way anyone after Polk, including Polk himself was going to have a more kick-ass term. Gerald Ford? Please, that's a joke.

Don't forget, Teddy was shot in the chest in 1912 at age 54 and then, realizing the bullet didn't hit his lungs or heart, he gave a 90 minute speech. They never removed the bullet either. I think that trumps Reagan any day

As tough and as badass as Andrew Jackson is, he's the Duke Blue Devil of this tournament. He has the easiest bracket ever, Whereas Abe Lincoln's has George Washington, Barack Obama, Ulysses S Grant and John Adams.

Jackson's getting exposed in the Final Four.
