1. He should have given a speech and proclaimed..."From this day on, ....
the official language of The US of A will be Swedish. Silence!

In addition to that, all citizens will be required to change their underwear every half-hour. Underwear will be worn on the outside so we can check. Furthermore, all children under 16 years old are now... 16 years old!"

;-)

3. Isn't that point number seven?
I think Obama should hold congressional hearings on Boxers vs. Briefs, and declare one group terrorists.

5. I just saw the Rachel Maddow clip on Letterman
and she thinks he's quietly done a lot of good in his first year while all the loud screeching and whining has been hogging the airwaves.

9. I demand a public hanging of the offending underwear.
Only then can all Americans let their own boxers/briefs flap in the backyard breezes of patriotic solidarity.

Cue the crying eagles.

10. Weapons of Ass Destruction?
I think my Slumgullion Burritos might qualify - especially with Wacky Willy's Caliente Salsa
