I am talking tax bracket. Do you move up and down in the federal tax brackets throughout the year depending on how many cookies you make each week? What taxes are you talking about?

Default Ka-ching!

I would totally send boxes of Original Obama cookies out for Christmas! Hope they package them well. They could be selling these worldwide for eight years! And think of the spinoffs - a box of really good handmade chocolates with different insides - an Obama cabinet box, etc...

I'd love to pay the possible taxes in exchange for this goldmine!

There is always a high risk of getting stale and tasting bad, and I am not talking cookies now.

And they can employ all the soon-to-be out of work auto workers from Detroit making cookies all day to feed the world and restore America's good name and polish Her tarnished reputation.

Everybody wins! Another Positive Political Coup!

Thank you, Mr. President and your Beautiful Family, for caring about the working people of this Country. I wish you Three Terms Of Happiness.

That would be perfect for the autoworkers, since everyone will be jogging everywhere to work off the cookies.

Thank you Mr. President, for thinking of our health.

We need to send Mr. Obama our plan for "Cookie Diplomacy".

Do you have his email handy?

When you look at the current state of US culture buying a cookie that the first family enjoys seems mild compared to spending hundreds of dollars for a pair of shoes because they're named after someone with a great jumpshot, or buying a record made by someone for sex appeal. The cult of personality could be much less deserved.

I had to call my mother to ask her what the black and white cookies were that she used to make:

Checkerboard Cookies
