Obama Delivers Letterman's Top 10 List

Democratic Candidate Makes Tongue-In-Cheek List Of Campaign Promises

(CBS/AP)  Sen. Barack Obama is making some campaign promises we can be pretty sure he won't keep.

Appearing Thursday on CBS' Late Show With David Letterman the Democratic presidential candidate delivered a tongue-in-cheek list of his top 10 campaign promises, including a pledge to rename the tenth month of the year "Barack-tober."

Also on the list is a vow to "appoint Mitt Romney secretary of lookin' good" and another to "put Regis on the nickel."

And the No. 1 campaign promise?

"Three words: Vice President Oprah."

Obama, the latest in a string of candidates to show up on Letterman's show, appeared just briefly to deliver the night's list. Earlier this week, candidate John Edwards came on the show only to have his carefully coifed hair messed up by the host.

On Thursday, Obama joked that Lettermen couldn't repeat that prank, telling him: "you can't muss my hair."

Here is the complete Top 10 list:

10. To keep the budget balanced, I’ll rent the situation room for sweet sixteens.

9. I will double your tax money at the craps table.

8. Appoint Mitt Romney secretary of lookin’ good.

7. If you bring a gator to the White House, I’ll wrassle it.

6. I’ll put Regis on the nickel.

5. I’ll rename the tenth month of the year “Barack-tober.”

4. I won’t let Apple release the new and improved Ipod the day after you bought the previous model.

3. I’ll find money in the budget to buy Letterman a decent hairpiece.

2. Pronounce the word nuclear, nuclear.

1. Three words: Vice President Oprah.

I''d hire a lawyer and get my age changed to reflect the date of conception. Just like they do in So. Korea. I want nothing to do with Obama or Clinton.

"2. Pronounce the word nuclear, nuclear"

Now that would be refreshing! It be nice to have someone in the White House who wasn''t as much of an obvious idiot as Bush is.
