President Mom

nd spend their time developing a play dough that didn't crumble all over the living room carpet, while meteorologists researched a way to prevent it from raining more than two days in a row.
President Mom would also use tough negotiating skills to persuade Democratic and Republican congressmen to support her views. "This is what I get for climbing ten flights of White House stairs with bad knees to deliver a fresh batch of chocolate chip cookies to Congress?" She'd pause, sigh heavily. "Eat, enjoy. It's okay ... really."

Big Bird would replace the Bald Eagle as our national emblem, and the Stature of Liberty would be replaced by a 60-foot, portable potty chair as the symbol of freedom.
