I Can't Wait To Have a President Who...

1. Knows where to find the best corned beef sandwich in Chicago.

2. Thinks before he speaks. Thinks, period.

3. Flirts with his wife.

4. Would be able to look Cindy Sheehan in the eye.

5. Actually reads books. Lots and lots of books. He even writes them!

6. Doesn't think Lincoln was a car.

7. Isn't afraid of a press conference, sex education, an intellectual, a gay person, stem cell research or as W. called it, "the internets," "3 Shakespeares," or an honest day's work.

8. Is secure enough to hire brilliant, accomplished, ambitious people.

9. Can dance.

10. Knows that Africa is a continent.

11. Appreciates Joe Biden.

12. Respects the planet and wants to take care of it.

13. Won't go to war because Jesus tells him to.

14. Has a dry, wry sense of humor that isn't scripted and doesn't crack up at his own jokes.

15. Has a mean way with a Blackberry and will miss his.

16. Won't have Karl Rove living in his brain.

17. Believes in evolution.

18. Has a wife and family not meant to reside at Madame Tussauds.

19. Will re-brand the word "patriotic" and take away its odious status as a euphemism.

20. Has genuine interest and curiosity about the world.

21. Isn't hell-bent on fulfilling some banal family curse out of the House of Atreus.

22. Hasn't got more malapropisms under his belt than Yogi Berra. Is articulate, graceful, eloquent. Actually sounds as if English is his first language and knows where to place a preposition in a sentence.

23. Won't bankrupt the country, of money, hope and good will. W. has already been there. Done that.

24. Won't penalize countries for their birth control practices, like some grumpy, petulant parent withholding allowance. See #21.

25. Stays up past 8 PM.

26. Doesn't have to dress up in his Halloween costume on an aircraft carrier, with a sign "Mission Accomplished" in the background.

27. Will mend fences, heal hearts, open minds and work very hard and with humility, to help us get back our worn and ravaged global cred.

29. Looks damn good in shades.

28. Doesn't buy a fake ranch as a campaign prop and pretend to be a cowboy.

[gofreeman]

He will bankrupt the country...­..........­.

[eden4barack08]

This is not about Bush...., dear!

[MajorKong]

What's he going to do? Cause a meltdown of the financial system and a nasty recession? That train's already left the station.

I like the cut of this new guy's jib. With an attitude like that, he'll be up for a raise and a promotion within 6 months.

[chnge2012]

When you find that person let us know until then keep drinking the koolaid, the end will be painless

[Einstein44]

A President that sets an example on the importance of an education.

[sustainablekate]

Add to this that he (1) addresses us as adults, and (2) assumes that we can handle the truth.

[Alaskan4alaska]

28. Has never informed the "Elite" that they are his base.

29. Believes that genuine thought provoking debate is an asset, not something that should be punished.

I'm with angrystan on this one. I think you should amend that to isn't afraid to dance. That's entirely different from being able to dance (well). He should cede the public dancing responsbilities to the Mom-in-chief. Michelle can dance.

He's going to keep his Blackberry.
It's really not a security risk.
Although he'd probably get a few million for it on Ebay.
(and then donate the money to the Fed)

How about: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RsWpvkLCvu4
Not too shabby, right? (remember Karl Rove?)

[unrepentantlib]

Dance?? Who cares? If he can do all the rest, we'll have a President of the United States who understands what it means to be President. Of the United States.

[angrystan]

Please provide evidence for "9. Can dance."

I'm not entirely kidding.

[Yola]

Love him but he has absolutely no rhythm :-)

[gymbunnybee]

Are you kidding?! He busted it on Ellen!
