"Take me to your leader"

The age old trope about aliens from outer space is that they may ask to be taken to the leader of the first individual they contact.

If you were that individual, who would you see as your leader?

If none of the ones listed match your answer, just post your answer.

Asking for a friend ...

The reasonable man adapts himself to the world;
the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself.
Therefore, all progress depends on the unreasonable man.

To quote Clint Smith 

"If ET shows up and all the lights and smoke and shit comes out from the space craft, I will tell him 1 time and only 1 time only to drop the ray gun. Then it's double 0 buck".

But in all seriousness, none of the above.  Since they speak my language, I would have to inform them that I have zero access to them and the why and that they need to land closer to the WH.

You gave one of my answers without really choosing it.

You automatically answered they should have landed closer to the WH.  So, you would choose the US President.

Glad to help!   :thumbsup: :geekdanc: :shaka:

No option for "the wife"?
If you allow government to break the law for an "emergency" they will create "emergencies" to break the law.

I wanted to add a few more options, but it looks like the forum limits them to 5 max.  I tried 2 browsers several times each.

It's technical.   :geekdanc:
