…check in

...where anyone can be mayor...except...

Mr. President,

First of all, happy belated birthday.  Hope everything’s good with you and the family.

Now, down to business.  It has come to our attention that you recently joined Foursquare, the social networking site which allows users to check in at different locations, gaining them special deals, and (with enough determination) the clout of being the mayor of a location.

Such prestige of course being attained by checking in at a certain location more than all other Foursquare users.  Because who doesn’t dream of hanging out at the nearest Starbucks more than everyone else?

On that note, it has also come to our attention that you are not the mayor of the White House or the Oval Office.

I can imagine that the perks of checking in at these places are probably not as rewarding as say free chips and salsa at Chili’s, or a free six-pack of bao at Wow Bao (mayors only).

Although you might consider a half-off foreign affairs check in bonus or something like that…just saying.

We understand that your Foursquare  account doesn’t actually allow you to check in anywhere, for Secret Service related reasons.

Tough choices come with the territory, and it may be time to pull some strings and see if you can’t get yourself an honorary “mayorship.”

Some might see it as an abuse of power, but I have one question for you: Who is this Chris C. and how is he hanging out in the Oval Office more that you are?

Because really, it’s a question of pride.  If we don’t have our online prestige, then what do we have really?

Think about it.

Best of luck with running the country.

Sincerely,

Concerned Citizen and Avid Foursquare Evader
