10. Wear a warm coat to the inauguration...Don't ever forget William Henry Harrison.

9. The economy is bad; be prepared for things to get worse before they get better.

8. Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer. Remember Hillary was a good pick for Secretary of State...but she is still a Clinton. Invite Bill Clinton to the White House as much as possible. Why? The more he is involved with 'unimportant' stuff, the less likely he is to go off the reservation.

7. Send Joe Biden overseas as much as possible, so his gaffes are heard mainly by people who don't understand English.

6. Don't send a birthday present to Governor Rod Blagojevich.

5. Quit smoking.

4. Make sure to ignore crazy extremists on the right AND on the left.

3. Be prepared for that 3 A.M. phone call...it is likely to come soon.

2. Make some close Republican friends...they may save when you least expect it.

1. Spend as much time with Michelle, Malia and Sasha as possible...the country comes first, the family is close behind...
