- Deliver State of the Union without being heckled
- Complete Rose Garden remarks without interruption
- Call for a joint session of Congress (the NERVE!)
- Take a vacation (LAZY!)
- Play golf (ELITIST!)
- Play basketball (GHETTO!)
- Attend Harvard (QUOTA!)
- Have a birthday party (must instead be called “hip hop barbecue”)
- Invite other black people to White House (THUGS!)
- Speak to school children
- Appoint judges
- Serve without providing long-form birth certificate to douchebag rich guy and racist Sheriff
- Serve without providing SAT scores (see #7)
- Lawfully use executive authority when Congress refuses to act
- Issue orders as Commander-in-Chief of the military
- Take a single scintilla of credit for killing the world’s biggest terrorist
- Run for re-election
- Raise funds for said run
- Go on late night TV
- Encourage healthy eating
- Have garden
- Do push-ups
- Display awesome arms
- Be larger than size 6
And finally (for now), the big one…
