Barack Obama's Presidential To-Do List
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/bill-cusack/check-it-out-here-first-_b_85838.html

My friend, whom I will call "Sneaky" for our purposes here, who is a high level insider in the Obama campaign, leaked to me (how cool am I?) Barack's as yet unrevealed two term "Presidential To-Do List" in the wake of his strong Super Tuesday showing. Hey all you Super Delegates! This ought to put a little gas in your tank!

Immediately declare war on hopelessness. Email

Create a Department of Hope.



Add Secretary of Hope to the cabinet.



Bring home the troops then hope Iraq doesn't fall apart.



Push for a UN resolution declaring that the UN has hope for all mankind.



Fund research into finding a way to build hope into all future weapons systems.



Strengthen Anti- Have No Hope laws.



Stock the Justice Department with hopeful lawyers.



Give Federal judges wider leeway in more..

5. Is that a sense of humor or a Sears sense of humor?
As for hope, it sure seems like it's fading in Hillaryworld...with this kind of thread....

6. The comments on that article are pretty good:
Hillary's to do list:

1.) Appoint the CEO of Cigna as her Health Czar. He should be able to keep healthcare costs down by denying life-saving treatments to policy holders. Saaawheeet!

2.) Appoint a Rupert Murdoch (he gave her a nice fat campaign check and all) to head of the Public Broadcasting Commission. PBS will from now on be known as Fox-Lite.

3.) Create a Health Insurance Debtors Prison where all of those poor folks who can't pay her mandated health coverage can go work off their debt making Hillary 2012 buttons.

4.) Create a Department of Despair to fight The War On Hope.

5.) Create The Office of Homeland Despair that monitors every American for signs of hope.

6.) Rename Guantanaomo: Hope Village.

7.) Present legislation that states the votes of anyone under 40 only count as 'half'.

8.) Appoint Ken Lay as Secretary of Energy. You all though he was dead did you?

9.) Appoint Tony Rezko as Secretary of Commerce. She still owes him for his donations to Bill in the 90s.

10.) Declare July the 4th 'National DLC Day'.

11.) Change the Labor Day holiday to honor her union busting chief strategist Mark Penn and rename it 'You're Lucky You Have Work So Shut The Hell Up And Get Me My Margarita' Day.

12.) Finally ban flag burning once and for all. Who gives a shit about the first amendment?

13.) Stock the courts full of judges that understand hope is a threat to national security.

14.) Promote her No Hope For Clean Energy legislation that includes invading Russia to go after their oil.

See Billy? Two can play your game. Just get it over with and join The Young Republicans already.

11. You forgot JESUS. Gotta have JESUS
"On his first visit to the church he now belongs to, Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago, Obama said, 'I was introduced to Jesus in a way I had never been before.'

"Part of his mission as a politician, he said, is 'to go out and do the Lord's work.'
