Besides the fact that God cannot exercise anything contrary to his character, one could argue that the question is invalid due to the Creator/creature distinction. Created things have limitations, by definition, and therefore God cannot take all limitations off of created things. This is the same line of reasoning Rich was alluding to when he said that God cannot make another God. Certain attributes of God are incommunicable, and even the attributes that are, cannot be communicated to the degree that God possesses.
