The Laws Of Physics Do Not Apply To Me
"I woo women with my sensuous and godlike trombone playing, I can pilot bicycles up severe inclines with unflagging speed, and I cook Thirty-Minute Brownies in twenty minutes. I am an expert in stucco, a veteran in love, and an outlaw in Peru."
"I am an abstract artist, a concrete analyst, and a ruthless bookie. Critics worldwide swoon over my original line of corduroy evening wear. I don't perspire. I am a private citizen, yet I receive fan mail."
And my favorite line of all:
"The laws of physics do not apply to me."
This got me thinking. If essays are necessary to get into college, why not the presidency?
And because I'm feelin' a little guilty about not supporting the president, I'm going to lend him a hand by taking a first cut at a draft essay. That's the kind of giver I am.
Here it is...
Barack Obama
Application Essay for the position of President of the United States
I am an effete intellectual, skilled in condescension. I build model bridges to nowhere out of toothpicks lifted from Air Force One.
I excite constituents with my jaunty jogs to the podium, and take over entire industries with the swipe of a pen. I can bowl a 37…left-handed.
I bow down to dictators and persecute allies. I’m loved in third-world countries…and in all 57 states.
I give healthcare waivers to unions and the shaft to corporations. My Attorney General is Fast and Furious.
I’m a uniter who divides; a role model who smokes; and an environmentalist with an enormous carbon footprint. I look awesome in a bicycle helmet.
I’ve been known to throw out the first pitch…and get it almost halfway to the plate. I can beat Sarah Palin three out five falls.
I give a 10 minute speech in an hour, and answer three press conference questions in 90 minutes. I read a teleprompter with one eye tied behind my back.
I can change the tone in Washington. Acoustical engineers marvel at my genius.
I walk on water in Hollywood and eggshells in Israel. My administration has more czars than a Romanov family reunion.
I can golf after a tsunami, and down a large cone on Martha’s Vineyard while the economy is burning.
I'm cool as a cucumber and smart as a whip. Just ask anybody and MSNBC. I’ll send a thrill up your leg and a shiver through your wallet. Fat cats tremble in my presence.
I can't go to my right on the basketball court, and won't in the court of public opinion. In college, I dated Warren Buffett.
The Laws of Economics do not apply to me.
I’m your boogie man. That’s what I am.
Sincerely,
Barack Obama


Very Creative!

Unfortunately unlike Hugh- I don't think the president would think this is at all tongue in cheek.
