Dwight Howard

You either love President Howard or you hate him. The big man has gained a lot of hate throughout his career for his demeanour on the floor, and that is unlikely to help him should he swap the paint for the White House.

I mean, you don’t really want to doubt how hard your President, the leader of the free world, is working. A President needs to be serious but President Dwight might enjoy himself a little too much, even if he gets the basics done and excels in places. His rebounding shows that he should recover well and salvage any situation when his government shoot wide of the mark. His demanding nature, though, and desire to be the main focus is, well, not ideal.

And yet, despite all of the criticism and doubting, President Howard would get it done as he always has.

Malcolm Delaney

President Delaney is a hard worker and took the road into political stardom that is less traveled. He is well-acquainted with Europe and so diplomatic ties between the continent and the US should grow, and that’s a good thing, right? He is a newcomer to this scene, but he has plenty of experience elsewhere, and has shown a capability to make this transition to the political scene by working in support of another leader and supporting the German connection.

Still, Delaney might not be the most skilled politician. He is perhaps more suitable for a secondary role, serving the team by filling in when he is needed with good, but not outstanding, levels of teamwork and leadership. Still, though, he helps provide for others and he does so well.

Just like President Hardaway, we aren’t quite sure what President Malcolm Delaney can really do but he has shown enough to inspire some confidence in him and his hard-work and relentless determination more than makes up for anything he lacks elsewhere.
