In Abe Lincoln Must Die, was it just me or was the president a parody of Bill Clinton?

    I think he was meant to be a parody of a lot of people. The "unless they're secretly sitting on stockpiles of pudding- and oh yes, we will find them..." sounds like the kind of things I heard after I became old enough to pay attention to international politics, for example. Which was after Bush was voted in. The second one.

    I'm pretty sure he was an amalgam of presidents, to just become "the president." I think you can hear Bush, Clinton, Bush, Regan, and Carter in there if you listen.

    wow, all the way back to carter... I recognized Clinton and when I think about it I think I heard some of bush and bush in there, but I'm too young to remember the others.... (well technically I could remember regan, but I was too young to pay attention...)

    Thanks for clearing that up!

    I caught Bush, Bush and Clinton*. There was one specific line that strongly reminded me of Regan, but I can't remember what it is now.

    Great game, Abe Lincoln Must Die!.

    *Yes, I love dumb things like that. BBC. Hurhur.

    I just loved the line in S2E5 when I was playing it recently where
    Max answers the phone in Hell and asks if he's won the Nobel Peace Prize
    . So ironic that it works so well as a joke with the US President now, even though the game came out long before Obama was even elected... :D

    No, Obama represents Obama. He is mentioned in the game(Ice station santa something about a foot rub from him.
