George Washington: Abrasive, tall, looks down on the average person. His 6'2" frame can't help it. Son of a plantation owner. Married a rich widow. Sure, he might of helped win our independence, but what we have to do now is build bridges to the world.
Benedict Arnold: His working class Connecticut upbringings helps far more people identify with him. Only slightly above average height and never seen as aloof or looking down on others. His British sympathetic wife is a wonderful advisor and confidant who will help us build bridges to the most powerful country in the world and heal the wounds from that long war which Washington promoted.
P.S. It goes without saying that BO is a lot closer to Benedict Arnold than Mitt Romney is to GW.
