As Iraq Crisis Worsens, Obama Deploys “Super-Serious” Situation Room Photo

You can tell how bad a crisis is based on the staged photos that Obama’s official propaganda photog deploys for action.

On August 2nd, the situation was only mildly severe, so Pete Souza gave us this photo of Obama leaning back in the White House while chatting with Susan Rice and an NSA guy.

But then major newspapers (the kind his donors read) started talking about genocide in Iraq and Obama’s inaction. So after signing off on some aid drops, after a whole bunch of non-Muslim Yazidi kids had died of thirst, this photo was deployed for action.

The photo was retweeted by White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest, who had just gotten through explaining that Obama deals with genocide on a case-by-case basis.

The White House also uploaded it to its Flickr page and it’s probably on Instagram and projected above the White House with a laser on the sky.

This situation room photo is serious. It means business. Susan Rice has changed out of her PJs and into her power suit like she’s ready to go on morning shows at any minute and blame a YouTube video for the whole thing.

Obama is the only one in focus, and despite having one leg on top of another, has posed looking like he’s explaining something to a military man. This indicates that he is serious and in charge.

“I got this. No big deal. We’ll drop some food. Then do a hashtag or something.”

Good show.

If things get even worse, check out this Souza Ukraine plane crash masterpiece photo.

Podesta just looks like someone ran over his dog. If the whole “Lobbyist Sleazebag” thing doesn’t work out, he can do soaps. McDonough just looks confused. As if someone told him that the Koch Brothers are really behind the Center for American Progress. Josh Earnest is practicing his best earnest expression.

Meanwhile Obama is posing as the sort of take charge guy who reads the prepared statements that are prepared for him.

And if things get really, really bad, they’ll all crowd by the window to check out ISIS forces attacking the White House.

What will scare ISIS is that Obmama is now going to “study” the situation and work for “talks” to solve this.

Maybe Susan Rice can go on the Sunday Shows and claim the ISIS genocide is in reaction to a video.

The conversation leading up to the photo:

Obama: "And then I getting ready to putt, and I started to swing my 9 iron, when all of a sudden...

What? Oh that (rolls eyes), yeah well make it quick.....

Listen up folks, quit laughing and put on your "concerned" face for a minute, the press office wants a few pics of us acting like we care about the Iraq situation..

What situation? Oh, I think some Muslims are killing some Christians or something...

Well no, I don't care either, but I guess enough people do that Valerie Jarrett says I need to look concerned, you know how those bible huggers are...

CLICK! CLICK

Ok....now back to the important business...So, I was getting ready to putt....

The NEON PINK sign cannot be the national debt. Nowhere near enough numbers.

Rice’s outfits look like she is auditioning to replace Whoopi Goldberg as the Fashion Maven on the View; when she starts wearing dreadlocks and sits with her legs at a 90 degree angle from each other, we will know she is one of the three finalists for the job.

It probably would be GMT or Greenwich Mean Time, which is used by the military and lots of other operations and is used by NATO, I think, it was when I was there. (brag/)

I’m seeing a clock. Top display is LOCAL 10:37 next is PRESIDENT 10:37
last line I can’t make out, but it’s 14:37

I would assume that the bottom one is a clock also. Four hours ahead of Washington is the NW coast of Africa. Maybe they have the Ebola virus tracked on GPS.

Anyone know what that framed sign says that's in NEON PINK by the door??

Just a digital clock with multiple time zones.

Yeah Rice’s outfit jumped out at me, too. Just goes to show the disdain that she has for the dignity of the Oval Office. Looks like she’s been getting fashion tips from the Wookie.
