Ladies & Gentlemen, The Next President?

Via Blackfive.net blog, where “Uncle Jimbo” notes, “Don’t ever forget that regardless of the fawning by his acolytes, Obama is a freakin’ dork.”

I’d noticed him slouching during a meeting with Afghan leaders and U.S. military personnel. Now this embarrassing photo.

And might I suggest a tailor for Mr. Obama?

i am sure the McCain camp will make good use of that!

That suit fits like doll clothes. Hope it’s off the rack cuz it doen not look good.

Comment by workingclass artist | 2008-07-27 07:49:53

I think it’s amazing how with new technology they can ERASE those pesky and unsightly PUPPET STRINGS in the photo….But the stance and the clothes are a dead give away….lol

 
 

Comment by mahaska | 2008-07-27 01:36:26

And his shoes aren’t even shined.

 

Comment by mahaska | 2008-07-27 05:06:37

What a dork.

 
 

Comment by Brodie | 2008-07-26 23:01:15

That looks like the kind of photos tourists take when on vacation- like out in front of Graceland. What an embarrassment! Can we stop this playing dress-up now & let the REAL candidate take over before anything REALLY bad happens? I keep hoping this is all a joke…please, let it be a joke… or a nightmare that we all wake up from… REALLY SOON, PLEASE!

Comment by Ellen D | 2008-07-26 23:12:39

Most American tourists have travelled more in Europe than Obama’s one day in each Capital “foreign policy bolstering” tour. What a joke.

Comment by Brodie | 2008-07-26 23:29:22

Yeah- I love how Barky dissed Hillary’s experience of 8 YEARS as First Lady, and now wants to fill his resume with one day each in a few foreign cities in a whirl-wind tour of (gasp!) a whole week! I’m patiently waiting for the implosion which should happen real soon now. Glad to hear that the SDs are passing that petition. Rise, Hillary, Rise!

Comment by mimi | 2008-07-26 23:46:59

Ain’t that the truth?

This is part of the whole misogyny that the msm commandeered. Hillary’s First Lady experience was demeaned, yet where supposed to swallow this load of dung about his little Tour de Farce in a week?

Gimme a break!

Can Democrats be any more embarrassing?

Vote them out!!!!

Comment by mimi | 2008-07-26 23:48:47

That’s: we’re supposed to swallow… I’m sleepy

I wonder if he counts the countries he flew over. UHH I was in their air space.

 
 

Comment by csuzeq | 2008-07-26 23:30:22

Good for them! They are now qualified to be POTUS!

Had I known that was all it would take, I would have done it years ago. Truthfully, if I’d have been up against Hillary Clinton, I would have decided UI better just wait my turn!

 

Comment by Zeke | 2008-07-26 23:31:17

I once got lost in Europe longer than he was there. Of course there were some cheap bottles of wine and I’d never met a girl who was Bra-less all the time and well… Jeeze, I was 20!

Comment by Patti | 2008-07-26 23:48:28

When HoBO was 20 (he just landed on the Mainland) he took a break and then went to
Pok-eestaaan.

Wonder why?

Comment by MEchelle Hates America! | 2008-07-27 01:19:23

Can someone please explain the Pakistan trip to me?

I went to most of the usual Spring Break locations and Pakistan would have been no where on the list!

What is his rational for such an expensive trip to such a bizarre destination?

His passport reads like a terrorist’s itinerary.

By the way, although not in this picture….i thought pleated slacks were out of style!!! Hey i am not a guy, but i do watch “What not to wear” sometimes!!! With all his campaign money he spent on that ridiculous plane, he should’ve spent it on an extreme makeover!! Nahhhh, that still wouldn’t help him, he still will look like a fool!!!

 
 

Comment by no waffles aka drkate | 2008-07-26 23:02:59

I’ve been looking for Obama’s “dukakis moment” for a while. let’s start building the archive!

 

Comment by candymarl | 2008-07-26 23:05:42

Obama has moved to England? He lives at #10 Downing Street? Does this mean he’s running for Prime Minster of England and not President of the United States? Cool.

Comment by candymarl | 2008-07-26 23:08:04

That’s Prime Minister. Time for a nap.

Comment by Chicago Joe | 2008-07-27 01:09:57

Well, there is that theory that he really was born a citizen of the British Empire by virtue of his Kenyan citizenship. They are welcome to have him!

Comment by justme | 2008-07-27 02:40:26

no no no lol

lets just make sure he is not on the ballot or the nom in November….. The Brits would suck him in and blow him out lol

Comment by Seattle Moss | 2008-07-26 23:09:36

Most photos of 10 Downing street show people going in and out. To have Obama stand at the entrance of the over sized door makes him look totally small and ineffective. Almost like they forgot about him and left him outside.
Look at the size of his feet.. small.
Obama doesn’t come across as strong.
Very Weak!!

Comment by Northwest rain | 2008-07-26 23:24:43

He looks like a child in front of that door!!

Comment by Zeke | 2008-07-26 23:36:27

I picture a caption for that shot:
“Hello, sir, my name is Barry Obama and I am a student who is in a contest and if you’d just subscribe to only five of these magazines, I’ll get a scholarship to Chauffeur University!

Comment by wry | 2008-07-26 23:51:01

Not to defend Barky, but he has really big feet. Like size 13 or something.
This is his faux self deprecating pose.

 

Comment by josgirl | 2008-07-26 23:51:36

All that’s missing is his seal.

 

Comment by Patti | 2008-07-26 23:56:07

He was going for the “10″ and then feinged his humbleness because of it. Hahahahah

I am so glad he did it! I’m laffing.

 

Comment by s. hall | 2008-07-27 01:54:05

seattle moss — ROFL — I thought when Obama got to London he would pretend to be the Queen. Obama does like to fantacise. McCain spoke about Obama pretending to be President. I like McCain more and more everyday.

 
 

Comment by WildChild | 2008-07-26 23:10:15

LOL and that’s out of a scale of a hundred.

 

Comment by Catherine | 2008-07-26 23:10:46

In this picture,Obama looks like a college kid on foreign study for the first time in awe of his surroundings taking a photo op. This is an outrage and insult to the many hard working American leaders like Hillary Clinton and John McCain who have worked their entire adult lives for the betterment of America and who have traveled extensively overseas for a variety of foreign policy reasons and issues. What has happened to the intelligence and rationality of those who would consider that this ” spoiled child” should be the leader of the free world? Unbelievable.

 

Comment by J. Smith | 2008-07-26 23:11:14

LOOKS LIKE HE’S HAVING A PROBLEM FILLING OUT THAT EMPTY SUIT

He’s a 10 outta possible 100!

 
 

Comment by csuzeq | 2008-07-26 23:28:13

Well, he is an empty suit. Hence the baggy suit!

He can’t fill his own shoes, let alone someone else presidential, such as Hillary Clinton.

Comment by Patti | 2008-07-27 00:00:16

What an image to end his Magical Mystery Tour.

Which reminds me — who is the person he secretly met with ~in Michigan, I think? Some holy guy from where?

Comment by s. hall | 2008-07-27 01:56:43

Patti — Prior to the Primaries in Nevada Obama spoke at a church in LV and likened himself to Moses.

Comment by Patti | 2008-07-27 10:39:11

I remember that…Just recently though, he left a rally where I think Edwards came out and endorsed him and hijacked the Evening News. He met secretly with a High Holy Muslim. He spent some time and then left through a back door.

The stoner in my high school was nicknamed Jeezus, so he stood on the handles of the main door barefoot and pretended to levitate. That would be a good one, too.

Comment by csuzeq | 2008-07-26 23:33:47

Did he change his name to Barack Hussein Obama in college when he discovered his blackness? Just wonderin’.

Comment by pm317 | 2008-07-26 23:35:17

That is an embarrassingly bad picture. Why would he do that? Where is Brown? Why is the door shut behind him? What is that stupid grin on his face? Who is he posing to?

Comment by tdillian | 2008-07-26 23:43:08

I posted long ago, maybe as much as a year ago, that his run has been planned for a LONG TIME!

He’s also a pathological liar.

His typical white grandmother. He’s going to Hawaii in a couple of weeks. I wish we could have a parade for him.

 

Comment by s. hall | 2008-07-27 01:58:29

pm 317 — I see why Obama doesn’t smile more — He looks like a demented pumpkin.

 

Comment by justme | 2008-07-27 02:47:33

Brown would not stand with any candidate so it looked like we was favoring Obama over John MCCain.
This would of come across as an endorsment and he will not endorse any nom “he quoted”

Brown is Good….
John McCain visited London at some point and this was Browns view on Obamas trip.

Quite right too…

 

Comment by mahaska | 2008-07-27 05:13:07

They said a couple of days ago that he was going to give a speech in front of 10 Downing Street after meeting with the PM and that he would be alone. Well, alone in front of the camera. His traveling circus is always with him.

 
 

Comment by typical.white.person | 2008-07-26 23:37:35

That platform he is standing on is like a scale that tests his IQ. It is saying his IQ is 10.

Obama is so stupid, he doesn’t realize it. He would smile at anything.

The picture does make him look like a little boy. Wooops, did I write boy? Considering that the words “black hole” were recently attacked as being racist, I don’t want anyone to get their undies in a wad… I mean a boy… as in a ten year old child.

C’mon?????

Get serious! He looks ridiculous in that picture.

And like the perverbial thousand words, that picture explains the inanity of his stupid little trip to try to look like he was prepared in foreign policy. That 10 day junket does nothing to enhance his resume.

He’s inexperienced/unqualified and not ready to be POTUS. The picture says it all.

 

Comment by Patti | 2008-07-27 00:05:47

BREAKING NEWS!!

It’s a cut-out and you’ve been punk’d!

Comment by Seattle Moss | 2008-07-27 00:12:37

Even if it is a cut out which I suspected, I can still pretend and laugh since the setting and picture fit him so well.

Comment by navyvet48 | 2008-07-27 00:10:14

Watch this video and note what Obama has to say about Afghanistan troops near the 5 minute mark.

From bitterpoliticz this remark by Lyn:
Interesting, in the downing street youtube at 5 min mark, “Obama said “I have already commited and increase of American troops in Afghanastan”

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WmlvyXeXbyo

Wow did we miss November all together! Here he goes again thinking he is the “president”.

Comment by AnnieCarmel | 2008-07-27 01:21:36

Not only had he committed troops but rebuilding as well. I wonder how much money the Messiah has decided on? A new Marshall Plan?

The man is dangerous and needs to be slapped down and hard by his handlers…oh what am I thinking? Let the fool praddle on. The more he talks, the nuttier he sounds and the lower his numbers go. I’m so glad His Loftiness informed the world of our connection to the UK and how much we have in common, speaking English and all. Condescending jerk.

Comment by Connie | 2008-07-27 10:19:55

Yes, he looks like a fifth grader on a field trip. Not that there is something wrong for a fifth grader taking a picture in front ot 10 Downing Street but that he is too old to be one and he is running for president and the powerful(not most of the members) in the Democratic Party (the party that used to make sense), are crazy over him. But wait, they will find out that they cannot fool the people. You will see, Donna!!!

If I were invited to 10 Downing St. or 1600 Pennsylvania Ave., I’d take the same dorky photo. The photo gives me a glimpse into another side of Senator Obama. The kid with big dreams who realizes as an adult that they can come true.

I’m happy for him that he had that moment. But I’m still not going to vote him and my fingers are crossed that someone else is achieving her or his goal and dream of being president in November.

Comment by Dr Felter | 2008-07-27 05:17:04

You are all too hard on Little O. He was told to run - he did not want to and said himself that he did not have enough experience. Think how difficult it is for him having to cram and remember all the time all the stuff he has to say, which committees he is supposed to be on, which legislation he is supposed to have passed, which state he is in, who are Israel’friends (apart from Israel), when troops are supposed to be withdrawn, what he said last week and last month, what he is supposed not to have heard in Jeremiah’s church, how to answer questions when you don’t know the answers etc.etc.
It is tough - and all Little O gets from real people is criticism. Thank God for the adoring press and that he managed to stay away from those beastly town halls.

Comment by Ferdberfle | 2008-07-27 05:21:34

He is beginning to sound like Shrub’s even more malevolent twin. He’s workin’ hard and it’s hard work….
