It's your birthday, Mr. President

I wouldn't even know how to cut this cake, but it looks yummy!

August 4 is President Barack Obama's birthday.

I know, he didn't even invite us to the party, but that doesn't mean we can't send a belated gift and hope for some cake.

So, what kind of birthday gift do you get for the person who runs your country?


I'll assume Michelle's got his clothes picks covered. And yes, I know she's got more going than just her fabulous attire choices — but, well, her attire choices are fabulous, so whatever.

I'm going to go ahead and picture her handing him a gift bag containing new jeans for his next baseball-throwing adventure. You can picture her gift-wrapping a riveting nonfiction work on tax litigation. Everyone wins.
'Hilarious! Oh, wait, were you pointing at me, Mr. President?'

Taking note of the random, quirky gifts (I mean, really??) presented to past presidents, I have to wonder, what exactly goes into buying for the master chief these days?

I can almost hear the random thought trains: "Gift wrap? Check. Birthday card? Check. Giant moldy cheese ball with sticker of Obama on side? Check and check. I think we're done here; he's going to love it!"

What would you get him?

It seems he's had to dismiss quite a few people; perhaps he'd like a "You're Fired" T-shirt? Maybe. Or is that too weird?
You know you want one...
You know you want one, Barry...

... Or how about a bobblehead of his himself? I bet he doesn't have one of those for his desk in the Oval Office.

I wonder what he'd have his aides get me for my birthday? I already have an iPhone, after all. :)

P.S. Oh, and no one ask me about his birth certificate. Seriously.
