You’ll never see this in the newspapers!!!
I did this quite some ago just for the sake of fun. National Geographic sent me this link as part of the monthly email updates. In short, you’re supposed to make a few choices after moving into 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue as a newly elected President of the United States of America.
Read on and be amused at how I decorate the White House under the rather unusual but not unheard of pseudonym. Interestingly enough, the choices I made turned out to be ironic in some ways. 
Enjoy! Unfortunately, I didn’t save the picture of the Oval Room the way I envisioned it to be, so use your own imagination to fill in the blanks will you? Thanks.
At the Office With President bin Laden
Clues to the New Administration
By Mitch Fairly
As Osama bin Laden settles into the Oval Office,
people inside and outside the Beltway wonder what sort of leader we’ve elected.
The Boast sent curmudgeon-columnist Mitch Fairly to dig for hints in President bin Laden’s new quarters.
New President, New Portrait
President bin Laden has been studying history.
Or maybe all the other portraits are out on loan.
Whatever the reason, hanging James K. Polk in the Oval Office shows originality—and a
willingness to work hard, real hard. Polk may have been the archetypal Washington wonk; he and the First Lady toiled days, nights, and weekends. (Sarah Polk, by the way,
essentially served as chief of staff. Imagine a modern First Lady trying that!)
I suppose that’s how he kept all his campaign promises.
On the other hand, Polk’s long hours shattered his health.
So let’s hope the bin Laden Administration takes a break now and then.
And no wars please!
Desk Detective
Hasn’t that old boat fallen apart yet?
What is it about the Oval Office that inspires adults to start messing with models?
I know, I know: President bin Laden loves the sea, as did plenty of predecessors.
I suppose a salty storm might be a welcome break from a press conference or staff meeting.
Will It Really Get Read?
President bin Laden is going back to basics, not a bad idea now and then.
Fighting traffic amid the monuments, it’s all too easy here in Washington to forget that
America started out as a revolutionary sort of place—based on ideas that thrilled,
or appalled, folks in the Old World. Paine offers a shot of intellectual adrenaline for
the bin Laden Administration. After all, he wrote that “moderation in principle is always
a vice.” A Presidency oriented on that adage should at least be interesting.
The President’s Pet
There’s a new First Pooch in town. Busy sniffing the Oval Office and looking for
predecessors’ bone stashes, Bush was unavailable for comment.
Let’s hope this one doesn’t write a book.
First Food
They haven’t quite set up a lemonade stand on Pennsylvania Avenue, but President bin Laden has come close. The new administration has the revived 19th-century notion of a teetotalling White House. They’re hoping a good example will be more effective than those “Just Say No” posters.
And so starts another administration. Osama bin Laden has sent out some powerful signals about what we can expect over the next four—or will it be eight?—years. Now comes the hard work of translating image into action.
P.S. I should have posted this after the Presidential Elections for greater effect, but the procastinating me held sway.
