Think about this: what are the minimum attributes of an object? What makes an object an object? 1) Volume. 2) Mass.
For any given mass, there is a definable force that can lift that mass.

No one is saying that the object has to be of infinite mass, just enough so that God cannot lift it--in other words, there is no predefined "weight" assumed in the argument. Again, think outside the physically impossible and into the logically possible.
It seems that you're missing the fact that there is nothing *self-contradictory* about the such an object. (This is probably best illustrated by the fact that no philosopher of religion [at least that I know of] has argued such.)
