Jimmy Carter: The Russians promised me they would behave. They will be pulling out any minute now. Aaaaany second. Hold on, just one more moment and they are leaving. Any time now.........

Bill Clinton: Wonder how much I can bribe them to back off until I'm out of office, leaving it up to someone else to deal with, while making me look good

President Bush: You're just lucky I've spent 10 times more money than we have, and I've committed all our troops everywhere else. Otherwise, I would kick your ***. Don't mess with Texas.

Obama: STOP IT! Can't we all just get along. Kum ba ya

McCain: You're just lucky W has spent 10 times more money than we have and committed our troops everywhere else. Otherwise I would kick your ***. Oh yea, don't mess with Texas, er Arizona.

Ron Paul: Just ignore them, and the problem will go away.

President Reagan: PREPAAAAAARRRE TO DEFEND YOURSELF BORIS. WE GOT YA OUTNUMBERED ONE TO ONE. My strategy? We win, you lose.

Answer 1

History proves Reaganomics, Thatcherism, and the foreign policies of the US and UK at the time led to the economic collapse of the Soviet Union.  Obviously the Reagan language is all the Russians have understood since 1918. Your translations of what the presidents (candidates) are really saying seems pretty spot on.

Answer 2

President Reagan, of course.

"We commence bombing in 10 minutes"
