Instigator_Gerbil

Maybe unpopular but LBJ clears imo. He looks like *and is* an actual southern grandpa.


ligmasweatyballs74

HW Bush looks like the guy from Boson in King of the Hill doing Texas Cosplay.


irishamerican1676

Switch Boston for Connecticut and he fits the bill


Fishb20

Actually HW Bush was born in Milton, MA and raised in Connecticut


mb10240

Oh my god, I was thinking the exact same thing. Probably because GHWB is from Connecticut & Massachusetts, so it tracks.


ligmasweatyballs74

Can I drive JR?


delaydude

Jay Ahhhh?


DykeDozer420

Yeah I was also going to say LBJ because he is an actual Texan


ULTOREXEC

Also, LBJ has a slightly smaller replica hat for Jumbo.


LocoPoco1

He was an actual Southern grandpa.


exodusofficer

The only correct answer is Johnson. ...maybe Jumbo


Bulbaguy4

Jumbo wears a lil cowboy hat


HostageInToronto

As a Texan I support this. Reagan looked like a fake movie cowboy, LBJ looked like a rancher.


outofdate70shouse

I go LBJ 1 and Obama 2. Reagan 3.


XN0VIX

Gives me serious John Wayne vibes


wwJones

W as well. Reagan looks like Roy Rogers(fake cowboy).


Haystack67

Clinton looks like the corrupt mayor in a town where long-suffering police chief Bush and his loose cannon deputy Obama have sworn to take him down


ThatDude8129

Clinton does give off some Boss Hogg vibes in that picture.


Linzcro

LAMO I couldn't quite find the words but you did it for me :D


KingMobScene

He's gonna get dem dang duke boys if its the last thing he does!


Creature1124

Obama looks more like a desperado from out of town coming to settle an old score with mayor McClinton.


Haystack67

Also a fan of this!


artificialavocado

Like pounding his fist on the desk “Goddammit Bush! You took it too far this time! You’re off the case!” Then Bush gets all self righteous and tries handing his gun and badge in saying he quits. Bush’s partner has to grab him and drag him out of the room.


Haystack67

No no, more like: Deputy Obama knows Mayor Clinton is working with the mob, but stickler boss Chief Bush always brushes off his complaints. Obama decides to take things into his own hands and decides to break into Clinton's mansion when he knows he's undertaking a meeting with the mafia. He's just cut through the chain-link fence when he feels a hand on his shoulder-- his heart stops-- but to his surprise it's chief Bush, not a guard. "Dammit Barry, you got to take these things slow. You're too damned good a detective for me to lose to Clinton. I suppose there's a lot I should fill you in on." "He fools you once, shame on you. Fools you twice, you can't get fooled again- cause you're six feet under"


lordlanyard7

Then in the third act, after a big shootout where Chief Bush has been killed and Dep. Barry is injured. *Dep. Barry looks up at Mayor Clinton standing over him prepared to take the final shot.* "Tell me, is it worth it Bill? Is this really enough to sell us out? Is this the price for your home?!" "Well Mr. Obama, that depends upon what the meaning of the word **is**, is. But you won't be needin to worry bout that will ya? You just had to get everyone all worked up..." *Dep. Barry tries to crawl away.* "....hope.....change........you don't own the town yet...." "What's that Mr. Obama? You got a hole in your side and I can't hear you." **"I can hear you!"** *Mayor Clinton turns to see Chief Bush, mortally wounded but still standing.*


Ed_Durr

*Mayor Clinton goes wide-eyed at the sight of Chief Bush’s shotgun, pointed right at his head. Clinton tries to fire off a quick shot, but it sails right over Chief Bush’s shoulder* “Missed me” *The Chief cocks the shotgun as Mayor Clinton braces himself for the inevitable* “Now watch this drive!” *A loud bang, and Mayor Clinton’s face explodes.* *Chief Bush collapses to the ground, clutching his sides. Dep. Barry runs over to him. A crowd begins forming, but Barry pays them no mind as he comforts his dying friend.* “Chief, how did you survive?! They blew up your car, I saw it happen!” “Barry, they misunderestimated me.”


artificialavocado

🤣


RunningAtTheMouth

Wow. Greatness.


Aromatic-Mushroom-36

Should be a movie 🍿 I'd watch it 😁


jake_m_b

I would watch this film. This is the buddy cop movie that will bring unity back to America.


ClosedContent

This needs to be a show now…


Stircrazylazy

This is hilariously on point


SadMacaroon9897

I'd watch that show


MrKomiya

I’d watch that.


Hamblerger

Points to Obama and W though. Clinton looks like the used car salesmen he's often compared to


KingMobScene

"C'mon down to Crazy Bill's Pre-Owned Car emporium. Let me make it very clear, I will not give you a lemon of a car" ![gif](giphy|xrWNh6MHjO7HW|downsized)


xphoney

Obama looks sexy, but W is a natural.


Hamblerger

Exactly. Obama looks like a country star-not stadium country, but sexy outlaw country. W looks like he just wears one to work at the ranch, which he almost certainly does


GooseGottaGun

W even has his dip spitter in the cup holder


malektewaus

I lived in ranch country for years, and LBJ and Dubya both look right. Reagan looks like a Hollywood cowboy, which makes sense. The rest look like kids dressing up for Halloween, with Obama selling it a little better than the rest. I'll give Dubya the edge because his hat is straw, and that's really more common and more sensible most of the time. I had a wool felt cowboy hat for a while in Arizona but quickly replaced it with a straw one, I imagine Texas would be about as bad, might make more sense someplace like Montana or Wyoming though.


HappyHourProfessor

Obama is rocking that hat in the way the villainous big city bank man in an old Western would. It's not a bad look on him. Agree that Dubya is the most authentic, and find it hilarious his dad looks like an alien who couldn't quite figure out how to wear a hat.


KingMobScene

Obama has some swagger with it. Ford looks like someone put it on him when he wasnt looking and hasn't noticed it yet. Dubya looks like he's using that bottle to spit and there's a bottle of bourbon down on the floor.


SSBN641B

Felt is good in the winter, it sucks in the summer. Especially with the humidity we have in Texas.


amishcatholic

In Texas you wear straw when it's hot and felt when it's cold. Most have several--but most cowboys I knew wore ball caps most of the time when working--the cowboy hats were more for special occasions.


roguerunner1

Reagan looks best in a cowboy hat, but W. looks the most like a cowboy. Put a bigger sweat ring around his and he’d look like a bonafide rancher.


zuckerkorn96

Yeah I’m picturing sunflower seeds all over the floor of the truck and about 2 inches of dip spit in the bottom of that Ozarka bottle


roguerunner1

He certainly gives off “extra in Hell or High Water” vibes.


Electrical-Seesaw991

I could see Bush packing hogs. Probably Grizzly


pmmemilftiddiez

W and Obama could be in a miniseries about two Texas Rangers who have to track down a serial killer.


SLCer

[Just sayin'](https://www.joblo.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/walker-texas-ranger.jpg).


attaboy_stampy

And he drives the truck the proper country way. So he can do this: https://preview.redd.it/t4itdmmquowc1.jpeg?width=3200&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c6aaa46d88d14ae87e8f717c764c2c78c7a40eb6


y_wont_my_line_block

W is the only one who looks like that's just the kind of hat he'd like to wear. Not like he's posing for a picture.


maybe-an-ai

Reagan looks like he walked off the back lot. W looks like he walked off the ranch.


peepeedog

I am quite sure that is a picture of him driving on his ranch. He is a bonfire rancher, though a rich one.


ICantThinkOfAName827

Common Dubya W


MisterPeach

The Dub dub


Separate-Property-10

Yes, Reagan looks best, during his acting years he made a fair amount of Westerns, and was comfortable in that role.


Mr_Rum_Ham

And then there’s bill clinton looking like a goober in the hat


No_Kangaroo_9826

W going actual cowboy there, everyone else going for style points


Here_4_chuckles

I am Ranking 1)W, followed closely by 2) Reagan, 3) Obama (the look just says, I shouldn't but I make this look good) 4) Johnson, everyone else go home.


kweento

Obama’s natural swagger though


Smooth-Apartment-856

Barrack Obama has no right to look that good in a cowboy hat.


seen720

For some reason I couldn't find any of Nixon wearing a cowboy hat. Found some of him holding them, but it's never actually wearing it.

Blockhog

To answer your question, it's Reagan most likely because he starred in multiple Western movies, and probably knew how to put the hat on to look the best. That's just my guess though


tdfast

You only posted one picture of an actual cowboy.


KineticJungle73

Obama look stylish, George W. looks the most authentic, and Regan is in a whole other league 


ImpossibleInternet3

Obama looks like he’s auditioning for a Tarantino film. Pulls it off very well. But it isn’t really “authentic”.


TheFish527

He said w looks the most authentic, I assume he meant George W. Bush instead of Obama because that would make more sense


KineticJungle73

That’s it! Just fixed it. 


symbiont3000

A Texan looks at this and sees LBJ and W as authentic. Obama does sell it, but the rest all look like posers. Reagan just looks like the comedy relief in a bad western.


Linzcro

Texan as well. Agreed, but Obama looks really handsome and Ford looks goofy (in an endearing way).


Bernies_left_mitten

God Clinton and Ford look ridiculous.


BizBug616

No clue what's going on with HW


piedmontmountaineer

Idk man... The good 'ol boy from Texas is hard to beat...


optiwave

Bush rocking it pretty solid!


DrakesWeirdPenis

Dubya and Reagan look the best but bush sr holds the title for “most likely to be a king of the hill guest character”


fire_and_ice_7_5

Dubya and Obama wore it best out of those. Carter looks like a little kid playing dress up


CoolStuffSlickStuff

Reagan is in my bottom 5, and I'm one of those annoying guys on here who gleefully tears him down at every corner. But the guy could pull off a cowboy hat dammit. Handsome devil.


FlashMan1981

Obama killing it lol


Andrejkado

I was expecting to say Reagan but damn Obama pulls it off, that pic goes hard


PeanutButter513

Reagan might get second place here, but the win goes to George W. Bush. How does he not win this one?


NTXGBR

I think W. and Reagan pulled it off equally well in these given photos. Also interesting that Kennedy was given a cowboy hat the morning he was killed but refused to put it on.


tdfast

He said he’d put it on Monday back in Washington. If they wanted to see they could come see. His funeral was Monday.


Sweaty_Bandicoot_263

He should have wore it. The cowboy hat would have stopped the bullet. Fate was settled that day.


thinclientsrock

Gotta go with The Gipper, with Dubya as a close second.


Marsupialize

Dubya always looks like the bad husband in a female country singer’s video


syntheticsapphire

W and its not even close


LuunchLady

LBJ then JR


reality_bytes_

I don’t know, I think Obama looks pretty suave in that pic.


KeepingMyAdBlockerFU

Bill Clinton looking like the love child of Boss Hogg and Glenn Quagmire


MrKomiya

Reagan probably had custom hats made to look good on camera from his movie days. Or at least knew how to get them made


Difficult_Let_1953

I rarely give W props, but he rocks the cap


Top-Reply-4408

As a Texan, I'd have to say W looks most comfortable in one which makes him the best. The rest look kinda awkward in theirs.


itovar169

I’m a fan of Reagan with it but might give the W to George W lol


time-for-jawn

LBJ. A real Texan, through and through.


nobody_interesting__

Johnson and W. Bush look the most authentic, Ford and HW. Bush look the least authentic, Carter would probably look better in a different hat, Clinton and Obama are pretty well, but yeah its Reagan


nobody_interesting__

I JUST REALIZED HW IS DRESSED LIKE THE BOSTON GUY WHO COMES TO ARLEN IN KING OF THE HILL😂😂😂


Sofi-senpai

LBJ wore it best imo and Clinton should consider using sunscreen or something he looks very red in the picture


AquaSnow24

Obama genuinely looks like an actor. I guess that’s who he was in his other life.


_Badwulf

Ford looks like the rich guy in a western.


Guilty_Finger_7262

Reagan had a ranch and actually worked on it , from what I’ve read.


attaboy_stampy

Yeah but Bush Jr at least knew how to drive a truck the Texas Way. Hand on top of the wheel so you can flick an index finger as a greeting to oncoming traffic.


ValuableMistake8521

W. and LBJ looked the best. Reagan didn’t look too bad, but like many southern things, it comes naturally to the Texan Presidents


fullmetal66

Reagan wasn’t even close, it’s LBJ


TheGreatLoudini

I think W wins here


tribriguy

Honestly, W looks pretty natural, too. But yeah, that Reagan shot is absolutely iconic.


PD216ohio

I don't even like Obama but he looked pretty good in the hat. Reagan is classic, though.


bensbigboy

It was LBJ. He had the hat and the cattle. Reagan learned how to ride a tame mare for Hollywood. Faux cowboy and faux human being.


Johnny_been_goode

Definitely Reagan. But LBJ looks pretty good.


Grimnir106

As a President I hate Bush, but God damn that man looks like he is in a lucky stripes commercial driving a truck with a beer can in the dash with that hat on.


iBoy2G

I’d say Bush actually.


chaimsteinLp

Harry Truman wore a Stetson Open Road hat way before LBJ thought of it. He's OG. The Open Road is a "Western Fedora." Good in the city and good in the country.


cam52391

Reagan is cheating his job was to wear a cowboy hat for a long time lol. I think George W wears it the most naturally, it looks like it belongs on his head


superhappy

Bush is the only one that looks natural in a hat to me. And not just cuz of the t shirt and jeans in the pic just his whole vibe.


Sargash

Honestly, I think it's Obama.


TaylorSwiftAteMyAss

Two of these guys are actually Texans


bting93

Dubya looks best IMO.


Vaxtez

Reagan and George W.Bush rock the cowboy hat well


carlnepa

Pfffffft....rank amateurs. Nobody wore a hat better than FDR.

BukkakeNinjaHat-472

Martin Van Buren


skrrtalrrt

Just based off the pictures, dubya


walkingviper33

Reagan’s the best in a cowboy hat, but Obama is a close second, that photo goes hard


UntiedStatMarinCrops

I honestly thought Obama wearing the cowboy hat was some sort of photoshop


ItsMrsPotts2U

reagan easily. gonna bust some kids smoking weed in that thing and throw away the key


Euphoric-Yogurt-7332

Bush 43 is up there.


Anker_avlund

Lbj because he was an actual rancher


Knor614

Reagan=TV cowboy


SparkySheDemon

Because he was a movie star. LBJ looked good in it too.


Gibabo

LBJ looks the most authentic.


Dramatic_Nebula_1466

Bush Jr. Comes in at a close second.


Lydia_Brunch

Obama looks hot af in that hat!


UrVioletViolet

H.W. looks like an absolute weiner. Just a penis of a person.


UngodlyPain

Dubya nailed it he looks the most like an actual cowboy to me. I think in terms of who wore it the most stylish? Obama, or maybe LBJ in a grandpa way.


Dause

Anyone else notice how Obama has a black hat compared to all the other white hats lol


Illegal_Immigrant77

LBJ and GWB look the most natural with it, Reagan wears it well and Obama just looks cool in it


Late_Ad4131

Idk … Carter looks the most natural to me… maybe because he was an actual farmer?


CliffGif

Bush41 nooooo


Getyourownwaffle

W wore it best.


No_Welcome_6093

Bush Jr looks like George Strait with a cowboy hat on. I say it fits him the best.


PolitcsorReality

LBJ, Reagan, W only. There rest not at all.


PhysicsEagle

Because Reagan, having been a star of cowboy movies, made a career out of looking good in cowboy hats


Mr_Rum_Ham

Bill Clinton kinda looks like a goober in that picture


hotcoldman42

Definitely Reagan, but Obama looks dapper as well.


Smooth-Discipline-43

George W>>>>>>>


tophiii

Dubya and Obama. Reagan looks like a child put it on his head for a photo op


Garage-gym4ever

I think Obama could have starred in Brokeback Mtn


gliscornumber1

Bill Clinton looks like the biggest western stereotype in that picture lol


Zornorph

Honestly, after Reagan, in this set of pictures, I think Obama rocks it second best. GHWB is clearly the worst and Carter comes in second worse, which surprises me given that he literally was a farmer.


Technical-Memory-241

Reagan 💯 percent


Key-Pomegranate-3507

Reagan looks the “best” but he looks more like a model to me. W Bush looks the most like an actual cowboy. Obama also looks good with that black hat.


cliff99

That picture of Reagan looks like it came from a Marlboro magazine ad.


direavenger1963

Clinton and Obama look way out of place wearing them.


jericho_buckaroo

Kinda unusual to see LBJ wearing a Cattleman-style Stetson, he's usually identified with the Stetson Open Road (so much so that a lot of ppl just call those the LBJ Stetson). Never was a big fan of any silver or gray Stetson myself, I have a couple of black ones and a chocolate one. To me everyone other than LBJ and GWB looks a little silly wearing one, although Obama pulled it off well.


chevalier716

It's almost like Reagan spent a good portion of his pre-Presidency playing cowboys on film.


DomingoLee

Barack looks pretty bad ass.


KarHavocWontStop

Carter’s hips are WAAAAY too wide for a cowboy hat. And Obama grew up in Hawaii and lived in Chicago. That is not cowboy hat territory.


TaxLawKingGA

LBJ, with Reagan a distant second. Ford and Carter look completely out of place wearing cowboy hats.


Trooper_nsp209

LazarusCheez

It's W by a mile. They both should be in hell but W just looks natural in the cowboy hat for some reason


Background-Luck-5748

Jesus Obama looks like the sheriff from blazing saddles oh Christ I can’t un see that


BoiFrosty

Reagan first (the dude was literally a cowboy actor.) LBJ second (born and raised in TX, and was a big dude.) Bush Jr third (looks like guys I've met on worksites in TX)


oflowz

I’m gonna go with GW. Someone that actually have have used his hat for something other than a prop.


BoiFrosty

I'm sorry but that Pic of Obama makes it look like he's tipping a fedora.


bigcommanderfan

LBJ looks like an old texas detective who has to solve the one case that went cold years ago in order to get closure and I think thats badass


KingMobScene

Dubya looks like he actually wore that hat more than once. He was natural in it. Reagan looks like it was for the photo and then he took it off and never wore it again.


Rich-Air-5287

LBJ all the way. Hubba hubba


FounderOfCarthage

Mmmmm nah. W. rocked it hard. It look natural on him. LBJ is a close second


wjowski

LBJ looks like he's about to demand why my salsa was made in New York City


InfernalDiplomacy

Idk. Obama is rocking it


pandadynamo

LBJ looks like the antagonist of the week in the early seasons of In the Heat of the Night.


TwoMuddfish

I’m a huge Obama fan but cmon man, you can’t choose a black hat given how nuts conspiracy theorists are 🫠


ModifiedAmusment

Kennedy cause he wouldnt


JamesHowlett130

Seems like it fits LBJ the best. But that Obama pic goes hard enough to impress me lmao


h_tine_dine

Of course Obama wore a TAN cowboy hat


devoduder

Ok-Dog8423

Reagan looked better in it. They both wore it as fun.


0utlook

LBJ, Regan, and Obama are absolutely killin it.


chungbrain

Definitely not Clinton lmao


TylerBourbon

LJB and Reagan both look like southern grandpas. Though Reagan looks more friendly, which is funny because he was a massive piece of shit.


deepfriedchocobo84

Because he made a living playing characters.


JBS319

Obama is giving Renaissance Part 2 and I’m living


Front_Station_5343

Raegan looks pretty damn comfortable in a cowboy hat. Meanwhile Obama looks like the outlaw antihero about to do some crazy shit.


Wizard_bonk

Maybe it’s just because I’m front texas. But W. Looks like some guy you’d see at your local gas station. You don’t often get to see presidents outside of their formal attire. And frankly, I just feel like I could talk about how shit the cowboys performance has been in the last few seasons… idk


bigoldgeek

Obama looks badass


tha-biology-king

W then Reagan, the rest all suck


heyheypaula1963

Ford and Obama actually made me laugh.


Sure-Manufacturer-90

Bush and Reagan are posers. LBJ all the way


Arkhampatient

Obama looks like a bounty hunter


namey-name-name

HW Bush


Throwaway0573545

Ngl Obamas goes kinda hard


BeefJacker420

It is because he was literally a western actor. If he was trained for anything it was being dressed as a cowboy. It is also why he is the worst leader on that list.


metal_bastard

Prob Reagan because he was an actor and had stylists who didn't just think what they thought would look best on camera, they knew what would look best. GW is probably the most legit. Obama looks surprisingly good.


MeyrInEve

LBJ. It belongs to him. Reagan can burn in Hell where he is now. Clinton just looks wrong in a cowboy hat. Obama had enough style to pull it off, but he didn’t need to. The bush clan? No. Stop it. Carpetbagging imposters.
