This Is Just Wrong! President Hugged By Adorable Children

image

I’m sure I don’t have to point out that there is something horrifically “off” about this picture—have you ever seen anything more awful than whatever it is? Please feel free to express your revulsion, because where to begin! I cannot. Even. Start.

TPM has a gallery of official White House photographer Pete Souza’s late summer pictures of the President interacting with citizens of every stripe—except that baby; how do we know that baby’s a citizen? Why didn’t anybody check that baby’s papers? Why didn’t the baby check the President’s papers? No, instead the baby slumbers, just like the American public.

(There is, actually, one shrieking plea for a caption contest, which if I’d any sense as a blogger, I’d have led with, but inasmuch as the Baggery contingent has help enough, I decided they didn’t need mine.If anybody can deduce which one and pre-emptively fill the snark-caption-vacuum with Roastiness, Mnmnt will appreciate, and Blingee it. Thnx.)

Sorry, children—your utter failure to show disdain and contempt for Obummer means you won’t be sitting at the Kool Kidz table at Kos.

If I was there, I’d have hugged him, too.

President screamed at, gang-tackled at all-white elementary school.

Look at their vacant eyes and identical T-shirts!

Another Liberal hatchery, mass-producing the next generation of garden-peeing progressives, profit-parasites and pie-in-the-sky economists.

This is exactly what happened in Weimar, wherever that is.

Happened across a raw video feed of the president in Pennsylvania, mingling and chatting with the families, presumably after his address. He appeared relaxed and warm and they seemed to all be returning the same, and weren’t kept at bay by a wall of Secret Service. I got the sense that everyone who wished to speak with him had the opportunity to do so.

That he wasn’t burnt to a crisp after that long, arduous day seems amazing to me. I can’t help but compare and contrast the actual man versus what’s constantly thrown at him.

@trollhattan — Then, he booked to Kennedy Center to kick-off a memorial program of music and poetry. Then, he was up early today announce that the Jobs Plan was printed and ready to pass.

George Bush famously went to bed at 9:00. Just sayin’.

Mrs. P.  My guess would be the Tim Geitner one with a balloon from Tim’s mouth saying “then the genie said oh I thought you said a twelve inch pianist”.

Badum ching.  Tip your tuna try the waiter.

My mom, who has seen every president since Hoover, has always said “Don’t trust a guy with the job who doesn’t look like he’s having fun.” Wrong once, with Reagan. Maybe Johnson…. Still good advice.

O’s being rescued by the only slightly darker, non-blond person in the photograph - soon the others’ triumphant gazes will fade, as they realize their prey is escaping.

Man, I just love the guy.

Look at all of those innocent future netroots nation denizens. Little do they know that Obama is walking them right towards the very school bus he’s gonna throw them under.

@TwinkyP - That’s what I was going to say.

And this was AFTER the judge order that pedophile to stay 100 yards away from any school building. The nerve of that man!

That is one festive-looking madrasah!

I pick the Geitner measuring one too. also or the writing on the hand one also. too.

“Valleyland” sounds like the name of that summer camp that turned your daughter into a goddamn lesbian.

OT but…

President Obama would fund his $447 billion plan to create jobs largely by raising taxes on wealthier families, White House aides said Monday after the president again called on Congress to support the package.

… Aides revealed for the first time that the plan will include limits on itemized deductions for individuals who earn more than $200,000 a year and families that earn more than $250,000.

Eliminating those deductions will bring in an additional $400 billion in revenue, said Jack Lew, director of the Office of Management and Budget.

The administration also is recommending closing oil and gas loopholes and changing the depreciation rules for corporate airplanes. All of the new rules, which would take effect in 2013, would bring in an estimated total of $467 billion, more than enough to pay for the president’s jobs bill, Lew said during the White House’s daily press briefing Monday.

Geithner FTW, folks. You can just imagine some of the wingnut impovisations on that tune. I love the tiny pianist joke, orrrr…

“See, last time, the stimulus was just this big.”

“No, I think here’s Reich, and here’s Krugman.”

Anybody?

Well, Nellcote, it looks like class warfare for brunch today! 

Seriously; brilliant move on the funding mechanism.  Make the rethugs defend not taxing the rich in order to help out the middle and lower classes.

my eyesight ain’t what it once was, but I think all those red teeshirts got “We Love You Uncle O”

But don’t you stoney-hearted class warriors realize that Todd Henderson may once again be forced to choose between the maid and the gardener?

And already they don’t have premium cable channels!

If I was there, I’d have hugged him, too.

And wrapped a leg around…oh wait.  Sorry!  There’s children present.

And predictably the Rethugs are already squealing like stuck pigs at the idea.

Well, there went that. You know The Repubs started screaming as soon as the word “taxes” came out of someone’s mouth.

One of these days, Obama, one of these days

changing the depreciation rules for corporate airplanes.

Aha, gotcha, Obummer! We already proved that was fascist communism.

President Obama preemptively consoles young Denver Broncos fans.
