25 Random Facts About Barack Obama
Monday February 9, 2009
With the "25 Random Things About Me" phenomenon sweeping the Internet, we thought we'd help out President Obama with his list. He's a busy guy, after all, and doesn't have time to do a lot of navel-gazing. So here are the first 10 items for his list. We'll leave it to you to help out with the rest by posting your contributions in the comments section below.
25 Random Things About Me, Barack Obama
1. When I was a kid, I inhaled frequently. That was the point.
2. While campaigning for president, I visited all 57 states.
3. Contrary to the rumors you have heard, I was not born in a manger. I was actually born on Krypton and sent here by my father Jor-El to save the Planet Earth.
4. Barack is actually Swahili for "That One."
5. If I had to name my greatest strength, I guess it would be my humility. Greatest weakness, it's possible that I'm a little too awesome.
6. Sometimes when I watch Chris Matthews on MSNBC, I feel a thrill going up my leg, too
7. I have recurrent nightmares about Jesse Jackson chasing me with scissors.
8. I am so "snore-y and stinky" when I wake up in the morning that my daughters won’t crawl into bed with me.
9. I regularly exchange text messages with Scarlett Johansson, and consult her frequently about helping with my stimulus package
10. I chose Joe Biden as my running mate because no one has been able to come up with a single decent Obama joke yet, and I'm counting on him to spearhead my Leave No Comic Behind program

I was disappointed when my Cabinet failed to understand my reference To ‘Savage Sword Of Conan’ #24 (with apologies to The Onion)
I used to collect Spider-Man comics. No I do whatever a spider can! Spin a web any size, catch thieves just like flies! Look out! Here comes the Spider-Man!
I denied Bill Clinton’s Facebook friend request.
I recently banged my head on Marine One, and I fear I am becoming George W Bush.
I knew Rod Blagojevich and he is not as crazy as you may think he is.
If Sarah Palin was a Democrat, I would have picked her to be my running mate.
My blackberry is surgically attached to my hand and the secret service designed a $4000 dollar “Barackberry” for me to use while in office so I won’t go through withdrawal.
I’m a twitterholic.
lol, these are great … keep them coming. Just for laughs, everybody gets that I hope. Can you believe this “25 random things” is actually making the news??
Here’s a link to a video I saw about it. http://www.newsy.com/videos/facebook_s_25_things/
I have a tax problem in my past, too, but I’m confident that if the Bush IRS didn’t ferret it out, nobody ever will.
I am considering signing an executive order authorizing cash handouts to illegal immigrants who get gay-married, just so I can watch Rush Limbaugh’s head explode.
Now that my mother-in-law has moved into the White House, I believe Joe Biden was right: hostile forces will test him in the first few months.
I am personally very grateful to George Bush. He lowered the bar so far, all I have to manage to do is speak in complete sentences and not drool on myself, and people will think I’m the greateset president who ever lived.
Uh…um…still, uh…um…working on, uh…um…those, uh…um…complete, uh…um…sentences.
