Happy Birthday, President Obama!

Today is President Barack Obama's 48th birthday (that is, if you believe that birth certificate). We know the man has everything he could probably want, but we put our heads together and came up with a list of other things we thought he could use.
- Rob got him Shuggie Otis' Information Inspiration LP.
- Kate made him a mixtape of Chicago Blues, including Koko Taylor and Buddy Guy
- Benjy got him a new bulletproof White Sox jacket
- Anthony got him a subscription to a Beer-of-the-month club featuring Chicago and Midwest-produced beers (Half Acre! Goose Island!) for future beer summits
- Karl got him a giftcard to Calypso Cafe
- Vernoica got a new, furry girlfriend for First Pup Bo
- Matt got him those dolls that totally aren't Sasha and Malia for overseas trips the girls can't make
- Lauri got him this print
- And me? On behalf of the entire staff, I would like to present the President a free two-year subscription to Chicagoist.
