Quote: First Amongst Daves said: And I generally think its a cop-out to depict the president of the US as not being George Bush. The Losers has some grey-haired portly chap who authorised Max to keep the world safe for democracy: the final issues of Millar's Authority had a balding man who had Seth shacked up in the White house with underaged kids as sex toys. Only Ultimates has Bush as President, and they do it well.
I think it was Bush originally. Remember that arc was written pre-9/11 but published immediately afterward and DC heavily edited it and even created a filler-arc to allow the finale issues to be re-done. I think in general its also avoided because it can date the book and also may seem politically biased if any criticism is shown.
