Look! Obama’s Working!

White House Dossier ^ | 8/9/2014 | Keith Koffler

[Hoodat]

There seems to be an effort afoot at the White House to demonstrate to the world that President Obama, who has now been getting flack even from the mainstream press for being disengaged – me and you have been wondering where he’s been for some time – in fact DOES SHOW UP FOR WORK.

In the strangest “pool spray” I’ve ever seen, the pool reporters were escorted to the windows of the Oval Office to bear witness to the fact that the president is on the phone.

From the pool report:

At 11:18 am, the pool was brought to the windows outside the Oval Office for a photo spray. It lasted 10 seconds.

We spotted the president sitting at his desk, talking on the phone – his left hand to his left ear. He briefly fiddled with his pen. Several aides were sitting on the couches. The pool has requested a list but the pool did spot Tony Blinken, deputy national security adviser. . .

NEWSFLASH: We spotted the president sitting at his desk, talking on the phone – his left hand to his left ear. He briefly fiddled with his pen.

Here are your brave White House journalists gathering the news.



Not exactly Gaza duty, is it?

Et voilà, the result, last night on the homepage of the New York Times website:

Read the pool report, and then take a closer look at the photo. Obama is left handed, yet he is holding the pen in his right hand.

[P-Marlowe]

He’s speaking with his travel agent; planning his next vacation.

What is this, "Weekened at Bernie's"?

The guy is stoned out of his gourd, so they prop him up and let people take pictures of him from far away.

[EagleUSA]

Gee, where did the bust of Churchill go?? Oh, that’s right....

[rdcbn]

It's a fake. We know for certain this picture is photoshopped because Obama does not have his feet on the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office

[fatnotlazy]

Or setting up a date with Reggie.

[morphing libertarian]

Setting up a new T-Time

[SandRat]

Planning his nest Golf Game.

[Rennes Templar]

“Hello Valerie, that you Val? My new set of golf clubs arrive yet?”

[PapaNew]

I don’t want him working. I want him on the golf course, body surfing in Hawaii, vacationing in Martha’s Vineyard. Anything but actually working on his political goals: the destruction of our free constitutional republic.

[Maceman]

What’s wrong with this picture?

He’s wearing a suit jacket in the Oval Office.

He thinks he’s playing like he’s Ronald Reagan.

You don’t hire Affirmative Action for work ethic. You do it for the quota, for appearance, or to feel magnanimous.

talking on the phone – his left hand to his left ear

"No, not a cheeseburger. A bacon burger without cheese. And a vanilla milkshake."

[left that other site]

It’s a wax dummy...like Lenin in the Kremlin.

[jsanders2001]

Well that first pic makes one wonder who’s in front of the cameraman and bent over like that. Probably just icognito using a post the Prez is used to seeing so they will blend in...

[skinkinthegrass]

working?...working?

..as one FReeper had said; He may have
been 'jivin' with a Travel Agent.

‘We know for certain this picture is photoshopped because Obama does not have his feet on the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office’

It appears that most of his ‘feet on the desk’ photos date from the time he was considered a ‘cool’, ‘young’, ‘hip’ POTUS. As his approval #s slide downward in the toilet & his disapprovals shoot through the roof, he’s taken to being a shade less in our face about his disdain for the USA. I.e.: he still let’s it show, but just not as photographically as at first.

[Starstruck]

They probably just switched out the Laz-Y-Boy.

[Paulie]

Very observant. I wonder if trying to make him appear ‘Reaganesque’ was intentional. May well be.
