Bush to an extent, Hitler to an extent, Bill Gates to an extent...all for their own characteristics.

Maybe not so much Bush, but his campaign team for 2004.  They got people to get out and vote, wasn't it one of the largest turn outs in a good while?  I really thought Bush was going to lose to Kerry, but he didn't, GJ campaign people.

Hitler for his MAD leaderdship skillz.

Gates, cause he probably had awesome luck & is now THE richest dude in the world ($50 billion I last saw.  Also saw that when he wakes up from sleeping, he is $4million richer, everynight...dang)

tut tut, continue reading my post.

I despise the man for what he did to anyone that wasn't apart of his arian race...but you have to admit, he had very good leadership skills.  How do you go from nothing to convincing you country to exterminate 6million jews? 

I respect certain qualities of certain people.  No one man is perfect, everyone has their shining qualities.  Hitler used his w/e he had to convince people to kill jews, he could've done something awesome and become a mega humanitarian, he didnt, he is scum, but you cant discount how persuasive he is just because he was bascailly satan on earth

I think the world you're looking for is charisma. ;)

Mine:

 Albert Einstein, Isaac Newton and Blaise Pascal.

All for the same reason: for their seemingly endless amounts of wisdom, intelligence and character.

Not Gauss or Euler? :( They're my favorite mathematicians/physicists.

Yeah, but they don't outrank Einstein, Newton or Pascal. :P

Hiel Hitler, Crazed has good reasons. Hitler got his people into a massive war drive. Those sly Germans would have taken over the world if USA didn't step in and say "bullshit, that's our job." One of the biggest things Hitler did, besides providing the History channel with endless amount of material, was show us what a motivated man and abunch of poor spirited people can do,

LOL@the history channel bit.

Well the US isn't exactly out to take over the world, but things would have been pretty odd if the Axis had won. Think, Japan and Germany leading the world.

Hitler by the end of the war was pretty much insane but torwards the beginning was a great liar. Propaganda can go a long way torwards getting people to follow you. I don't know if this alone would make him a good leader since some of the decisions he made were pretty stupid throught the war.

After having to read the book "Dresden", it was pretty clear in my mind that Germany could have easily dominated the modern world as it is today.

If it wasn't for the U.S. stepping in, Germany would have taken over all of Europe and probably Russia.

I'd bet that you're currently bloated like a water ballon on a hot summer's day.

That analogy doesn't even make sense.  Why would a water balloon be especially bloated on a hot summer's day? For your sake, I hope there wasn't too much logic testing on your LSAT.

No, I'm pretty sure he was just looking for the right word.
