In a small room with a one-way window into the Oval Office, Barack Obama, the newly inaugurated President, and George W Bush, Bill Clinton, and Pappy Bush watched a meeting:<\/p>\n

Obama, Bush 1 and 2, and Bill Clinton, were chatting in the Oval Office.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe resemblance is astonishing,\u201d Obama said.<\/p>\n

\u201cYes,\u201d Pappy said. \u201cThe surgeons do good work. And the actors are fully briefed. They do it better than we would. No question about it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSo I\u2019m finished,\u201d Obama said.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll done,\u201d George W said. \u201cYou won the election. Now you can relax.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhere?\u201d Obama said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a beautiful island in the South Pacific,\u201d Pappy said. \u201cA nine-hole course, tennis courts, gardens, servants, the works.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBut what about our wives?\u201d Obama said. \u201cDon\u2019t they catch on that they\u2019re living with actors?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWere any of us having sex with our wives?\u201d Clinton said.<\/p>\n

They all laughed.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe thing is,\u201d Clinton said, \u201cas Presidents, we might have made mistakes and screwed up the political agenda, the timetable, the long-range Plan. Our doubles are taking perfect dictation. They\u2019re fabulous.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIf it\u2019s time for war, war happens,\u201d Pappy said. \u201cNo doubts, no conscience, no reservations. An actor does a much better job than a real person. It\u2019s a general rule.\u201d<\/p>\n

Obama stared at his double in the Oval Office.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe has my smile and laugh down cold,\u201d he said. \u201cHe\u2019s good. Hell, he\u2019s great. Where did he come from?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe aren\u2019t told the details,\u201d Clinton said. \u201cNeed-to-know and all that. Just enjoy it. Letting go is job number one.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIs there television on our island?\u201d Obama said.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou bet,\u201d Clinton said. \u201cYou can watch your two terms as President unfold, day by day. It\u2019s fascinating. At first, seeing your double doing his thing, your thing, is strange. You feel a dislocation. But eventually you realize your life, as you knew it, is over. And that\u2019s very liberating. You can live on the island as a new person. You can become somebody else.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWho?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYour choice. I\u2019m Chuck Tuna.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a name I cooked up,\u201d Clinton said. \u201cI\u2019m a kind of good old boy hedonist. I\u2019m eating and snacking all day. They bring in beautiful women. The island\u2019s getting a little crowded because, of course, the women can never leave.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cPappy and I are writing a combo autobiography,\u201d George W said. \u201cWhen it\u2019s finished, it\u2019ll go in the private island library. But day to day, I\u2019m Rex Ready, a cowboy who\u2019s just come in off a cattle drive. Every day, I\u2019m coming in. I thought it would get boring, but so far I like it. Dust on my clothes, sweat in my hat, striding into a bar.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMaybe I\u2019ll be Tiger Woods,\u201d Obama said. \u201cOf course, a part of me would like to destroy the world in a grand apocalypse and then rebuild it from scratch. I\u2019d appear through a cloud in the sky and lead the way.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve got holograms,\u201d Pappy said. \u201cThey could fix up something like that for you. I had them do one for me where I outdueled Clinton in the \u201992 Presidential debates and won the election in a landslide.\u201d<\/p>\n

Clinton chuckled. \u201cPappy kicked my ass. But in our local poker games, I\u2019m ahead $427 billion.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cDoes it ever get serious on the island?\u201d Obama said.<\/p>\n

\u201cNot if we can help it,\u201d W said. \u201cJimmy Carter started building houses all over the place, and when the rains came, they all fell down. We had to step in and stop him. He\u2019s medicated most of the time now.\u201d<\/p>\n

As they watched, the meeting in the Oval Office broke up. The ex-Presidents shook hands and left. The Obama actor was alone. He sat behind his desk staring into space.<\/p>\n

He was listening to instructions. <\/p>\n

\u201cOkay,\u201d he said. \u201cSo Arab Spring comes before Libya, and then Syria?…and then\u2026wait, when does Fast and Furious happen?\u201d<\/p>\n

Watching, Clinton frowned. \u201cHe\u2019s in trouble,\u201d he said. \u201cInformation overload. They\u2019ll have to run him through the Processor again.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Processor?\u201d Obama said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe program,\u201d Clinton said. \u201cSometimes it doesn\u2019t take properly. They do a repeat. Don\u2019t worry, they know how to handle the repairs. It\u2019s standard. When he\u2019s asleep tonight, they\u2019ll hit him with the electromagnetics. Strange as it might seem, the sequence of events during a Presidency is the hardest thing to keep straight.\u201d<\/p>\n

Pappy smiled. \u201cMy double was once on the verge of telling the American people that the CDC had sent biowar germs to Iraq before Gulf War One. They caught him at the last minute and put him on ice for four days. A little bit of drama. Keeps things interesting.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

\"power<\/a><\/p>\n

A door behind the four Presidents opened. A young man in a suit said, \u201cIt\u2019s time to go back to the island, gentlemen. Holiday\u2019s over.\u201d<\/p>\n

He held a small weapon in his hand. A ray extended from it and bathed the Presidents in a strange light.<\/p>\n

They collapsed on the floor.<\/p>\n

A team of men entered and loaded them on to a cart. <\/p>\n

The room was an elevator.<\/p>\n

It slowly and smoothly descended eight levels below the ground floor of the White House, stopped, and opened.<\/p>\n

The men pushed the cart down a long corridor to a well-lit room. There, the Presidents were dragged into a glass-enclosed chamber and connected to life-support tubes.<\/p>\n

The chamber darkened for a moment, and then it burst into light and displayed holos of the island. It was in this reality that the Presidents existed.<\/p>\n

A minute later, a woman came walking through the corridor, entered the room, and stared at the chamber. <\/p>\n

\u201cHello, Bill,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Hillary Clinton stood there, relishing the moment. <\/p>\n

But also pondering her fate.<\/p>\n

To no one in particular, she said, \u201cIf I\u2019m the next President of the United States, will I end up here? Will I want to?\u201d<\/p>\n

She thought about her life, and like every modern President before her—miserable and wretched in the core of her being—decided that the island might be a welcome relief, a marvelous way to exit and escape from her soul.<\/p>\n

\u201cYes,\u201d she said. \u201cWhy not?\u201d<\/p>\n
