6. Doesn't think Lincoln was a car.

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

29. Looks damn good in shades.
28. Doesn't buy a fake ranch as a campaign prop and pretend to be a cowboy.
He will bankrupt the country... .......... .
This is not about Bush...., dear!
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.
When you find that person let us know until then keep drinking the koolaid, the end will be painless
A President that sets an example on the importance of an education.
Add to this that he (1) addresses us as adults, and (2) assumes that we can handle the truth.
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)

Not too shabby, right? (remember Karl Rove?)
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.
Please provide evidence for "9. Can dance."
I'm not entirely kidding.
Love him but he has absolutely no rhythm :-)
Are you kidding?! He busted it on Ellen!
