Now that Barack Obama is officially the President of the United States, we wondered if he would use his Presidential powers of persuasion to help in all matters, foreign, domestic and baseball:

White Sox Fan 1: Hello, Kenny?  Barack.

Kenny Williams: Yes, Mr. President  Aren't you a little busy to be calling me?

White Sox Fan 1: Nah, we're taking a little break.  That Hamas and Israel stuff is making my head hurt.

Williams: I understand.  I get the same sensation every time I talk to Scott Boras.

White Sox Fan 1: I can imagine.  I can send the IRS after him if you'd like.

Williams: Thanks, but that's not necessary Mr. President.  Now, why are you calling me?

White Sox Fan 1: That's what I love about you, Kenny, all business. I should have made you head of homeland security.  Anyway, did you hear the speech Tuesday?

Williams: Of course.  We all heard it.  It was very inspirational.

White Sox Fan 1: Thanks.  Did you get the part about "sacrifice" and "doing your part?" to make things great again?

Williams: Loud and clear, sir.

White Sox Fan 1: Okay, so as the leader of White Sox nation, what have you sacrificed to get a center fielder?

Williams: Well, Mr. President, we feel Jerry Owens provides us with what we need in center.

White Sox Fan 1: Yeah, and there's only one bathroom at the White House.

Williams: Honestly, we think Jerry is ready to do a good job.

White Sox Fan 1:  Let me say it again Kenny.  We, in this country, face many challenges.  Mine is the economy, the war in Iraq and figuring out how to send goofy e-mails to my kids that don't end up in the national archives.  Yours is trying to find a center fielder who is better than 4A.

Williams: Mr. President, given the late date and the economic climate, my budget is pretty much tapped out and there are few guys out there we can afford.

White Sox Fan 1: Kenny, let me set you straight.  I am the most powerful White Sox fan on earth. If I wanted to listen to loser talk, I'd call Blagojevich. He'd at least offer to sell me a center fielder. You can do this Kenny.  You can do this because your nation, White Sox Nation, demands it.

Williams: Seriously, Mr. President, I can't. . .

White Sox Fan 1: Yes, you can. . .

Williams: Sir, I. . .

White Sox Fan 1: Yes you can.  Say it with me. . .

White Sox Fan 1 and Williams: Yes I can.

White Sox Fan 1: Yes we can

White Sox Fan 1 and Williams: Yes we can

White Sox Fan 1: Okay, the next time I talk to you, I expect to hear about Chone Figgins or Carl Crawford in a White Sox uniform. Change is coming to the White Sox outfield.

Williams: Yes we can!

White Sox Fan 1: Gotta run Kenny.  Biden just shot off his mouth again and one of the joint chiefs just told me Bin Laden his been sighted at a Burger King with Elvis..  Say "hi" to the chairman for me. . .

Williams: Yes I can!
