I honestly don’t know the origin of that picture ... it does appear taken from a plane but which one and when ....

[patriot08]

LOL. I had the same thought.

[okokie]

The more you consider it, you have to wonder, just who is he sending a message to...

Is he saying I’m on vacation leave me alone!

[AceMineral]

Nice shoes.

The photo got picked up Andrew Malcom at the Los Angeles Times with this bit of commentary:

Many presidents in recent times have stayed at the White House or Camp David during year-end holidays to minimize costs and disruptions to staff and Secret Service and their long-suffering families.

Barack and Michelle Obama chose to spend the holidays almost as far away from the harsh political-toned place he vowed to change as possible and still be in the United States -- Hawaii.

Nothing is on the top of Obozo’s desk because he doesn’t do anything.

[Gondring]

I can vouch for it being that way during the last term. Are you saying that GWB didn’t realize we were at war?

[ColdOne]

No. GWB new this. It seems my information was wrong.

[ColdOne]

The last photo on the right. Who is Zer0 with?

[BIGLOOK]

Yeah, good to see someone works in the Oval Office.

Happy New Year, Dangerous Duck!

I am trying to figure out whether he is the reincarnation of Caligula or Nero.

I tried to spell a composite of the two, and I don't think that post would survive long...

[patriot08]

Sorry, dunno. FReepers?

Then there were those diplomats in the Balkans who thought Madeline Albright was the hotel maid when she knocked on the door for a meeting -— they told her to go away. Ah, the pain of being mistaken for “the help”

Caption Obama in bear hug with fruity dude:

“shhhh, don’t OUT me man, we gotta keep it under wraps!”

[SunkenCiv]

Thanks Ernest.

“She probably just finished cleaning the cobwebs from around the desk.”

And the six inches of dust on top of the desk that never sees any action. A rather sad, empty looking office...so unlike the pictures of this office during previous administrations...
