George Washington

Reminds me of a political cartoon I once saw, where Washington was about to be sworn in.

John Adams: Are you ready to make your big debut, Mr President?

Washington: Uh, how did you think I got elected?

Adams: Because no one ran against you.

Washington:Correct. What am I supposed to do again?

What always gets me is that he had to borrow a loan just to get to his inauguration, which they couldn't well hold without him!

Then, he did have one other problem, but it wasn't exactly related to politics or presidency.
