* OurPresidentsAreDifferent: Ex-President Monroe "Eagle" Cole. He comes across as a mixture of a President Personable and a President MarySue; a nice, grandfatherly charismatic man, so beloved by people that he retired with an 85% rating of approval (the highest FDR got was 84%), so popular that even a really small town like Mooseport knows him well (although it is his hometown as well). Also, he describes himself as "the most environmentally conscious president since Teddy Roosevelt". Nevertheless, at the same time, he's revealed to be an moderate President Jerkass who jokes about getting his adviser beaten up for not succeeding in his tasks, is arrogant, despised by his ex-wife, dates with the girlfriend of his mayoral candidate (and town plummer) Harold "Handy" Harrison, and plays it dirty when it comes to golf.

''Welcome to Mooseport'' is a 2004 political comedy starring Creator/RayRomano and Creator/GeneHackman (his final film role before retirement) directed by Donald Petrie.
Mooseport, Maine is the sort of little town where everybody knows everyone there, including Harold "Handy" Harrison (Romano), the amiable and reliable plumber. He's been seeing veterinarian Sally Mannis (Creator/MauraTierney) for six years, but is reluctant -- for a number of reasons -- to pop the question, leaving her increasingly dissatisfied in their relationship.It and the town are then shaken up with the arrival of former U.S. President Monroe "Eagle" Cole (Hackman). The most popular man to hold that office in years, he's looking forward to recovering from a financial beating at the hands of his ex-wife and former First Lady, Charlotte Cole (Creator/ChristineBaranski), who's taken him for most everything he's worth.
When Cole arrives in town, little does he know that the local council has decided he should succeed the recently deceased mayor. Although his assistant, Grace Sutherland (Creator/MarciaGayHarden) and PR man, Will Bullard (Creator/FredSavage), think it's a bad idea, the former President gives his word that he will.
Little does Cole know, however, that Handy already threw his hat into the ring. When the unassuming plumber learns that he's up against the President, he graciously bows out. Yet, when Cole asks out Sally -- unaware that she's dating Handy -- and she accepts, the plumber reenters the race, determined to get Sally back and win the election. Soon
With Cole's former campaign manager, Bert Langdon (Creator/RipTorn), back on the job, and Handy's friends and co-workers, urging him on, the two men prepare to do battle -- campaign style -- for control of Mooseport. Soon a simple election turns into an all-out-war.
