Wonkette
So what was your famous president doing yesterday, while layoff notices were prepared for another 30,000 or 50,000 Americans? Watching football. And he had a bipartisan guest list for his little Super Bowl party, too — because congressional Republicans have been so very helpful lately. And Pete Souza has posted another “arty” White House photograph, the end. [White House]
Identifiable profile our Barry has…. Sheesh, I think that photo’s kinda sweet.
OK, I admit it. I haz the hotz for the Prez. Which all my friends are tired of hearing about.
Tuff.
Loved that end zone camera shot of Larry Fitzgerald running for end zone in the 4th quarter, watching himself on the big screen: “Feets, don’t fail me now!”
Ha ha, sucks to you, Obama. Mine’s bigger.
My LCD TV, that is.
Who knew the war room had such a hi-def screen?
Are those flowers on that catered table in the shadowy background? What an elitist.
Get yer damn shirt ironed already, ya damn slob. Ain’t ya got a wife or somethin’?
I’d know those ears anywheres…
New president likes men with funny-shaped balls.
That looks like a wrinkled dress shirt. Why can’t the man wear a Cheeto-stained sweatshirt and lounge in a Laz-Z-Boy, as the rest of Wonkette’s largely female population did yesterday?
I love the ear silhouette. I see a new vector-art poster on the market… or a new iPod commercial.
lol ears!
Enjoy the game, Leonard Nimoy.
Bronkers: He’s like the Simpson’s of presidential silhouettes
Barry managed to watch the whole game without choking on a pretzel.
Have fun, Arizona. Gitmo goes to the loser.
“…he had a bipartisan guest list…”
Imagine how funny it was when the republicans showed up and were handed silver trays and told to wear the wait-staff’s tuxedos while serving Obama’s real guests!
Q Are you going to set up a “bad bank” or whatever it would be called?
THE PRESIDENT: Well, I don’t want to preempt an announcement next week.
So we will have a ‘bad bank’ as opposed to all the good ones we have. What would it be like to be a worker at the bad bank? That’s not something I would like on my resume. But since I’ve been unemployed for 11 months and one week I’d jump at a chance to work there.
Aw, he looks like a lonely traveling salesman in a hotel room. Pssst, Barry, dial *69 and ask for the Deluxe In-room Pants Detailing Service. I’ll be right up.
Now those are what I call ears
cnn has more details on this incredibly elitist party: http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2009/02/02/malveaux-inside-the-presidents-super-bowl-party/
apparently barry still doesn’t know where all the bathrooms are in his new house; he took mccain’s great advice and has taken to wearing depends in case he wanders and gets lost.
this is like Bush’s Katrina pictures but a million times worse!
If he sits to close he’ll have need glasses.
Wonder what numbers Barry had in the office pool.
Hmm…that TV looks kinda blurry. You think the leader of the free world would be able to get a better picture.
“There were hot dogs, chicken sandwiches, chips and salsa, soft pretzels, hot fudge ice cream and pizza.”
What! No Tofu burgers? Nor the aromatic salad green, arugula?
Cheney is shocked!
Call me naive. I thought when we elected Hopey, there wouldn’t be such things as football. Idiot!
Simple tools, that is GWB’s Oval Office indoor antenna. Fuck digital reception.

Scandalabra: WIN. It’s a big disappointment. I leave the US every year during stupor-bowl season. Now if Obama has a big party for the national synchronized swimming championship, I might forgive him.
The Unfairman: He obviously hasn’t made the switch to digital yet. Radio Shack wouldn’t honor his coupon.
Change has truly come to the White House. The President made it through the game without choking on any of the snacks.
The Republicants brought Coors light cans, but drank the Stella Artois.
Bush tried to show up, but they showed him there were pretzels and he turned and ran.
Wait until he gets distracted when baseball season starts.
Scandalabra: Look on the bright side. Hamas-TV saw this as part of the new administration’s Middle-Eastern initiative. “Caliph Sheik Barack Hussein Obama, Sword of Islam and Silver Fork of Baklava, watches in supreme, supine confidence as the victorious Saracen forces of Pittsburgh defeated the cowardly infidel, running curs of crusader John McCain’s state. Hands of Israeli spies were severed after the game and prisoners taken, although the Jew cameras of NBC turned away. ”
You see, an absolute win-win.
This is change I can believe in. Watching the game sitting upright instead of sprawled on the couch like I was. “Yo, Barney Frank, get me a Bud and grab yourself…uh…something too…sorry man”. Interesting point: everyone had to leave at halftime since Monday was a school day and the kids had to get to bed. Michelle had her rolling pin in hand, “Barak, your friends need to go on home.”
“Hullo, my peoples of The America. I is your new President, Barack HUSSEIN Obama. See, I watch the football game, with preety flowers on my left, is American tradition, no? Soon, I will rule you with iron fist, make the socialisms the boss. With my Mooslim policies, The America will go down like Indonesian ferry. Then will I laugh.”
S.Luggo: Yes but does Allah prefer HD or analog?
No one gonna say it? *sigh*
“I see a little silhouette-O of a man
Scaramouche,scaramouche he escaped IL and Blago,
GOP and right wing, very very frightning, indeed…”
recharged95: I see he had soft pretzels. Is this an indictment of the Bush policy?
CaliforniaMike: Back to his rehab center. In the Bush White House experience, one pretzel required chug from a fifth of VAT plus a six-pack chaser. But, darnit all, weren’t them the days? When the big guy, hush-hush in the Blue Room, could sign a secret Presidential Finding authorizing sparking hot electrodes to be to be put to the tender gonads of recalcitrant paki orphans and, the next morning, not recall what he signed? I’m speaking of Cheney.
S.Luggo: Touchdown!
S.Luggo: Are you saying Cheney gets intoxicated on the blood of brown-skinned orphans? Well duh…
loudmouthredhead: Brava Multissima!
S.Luggo: Amen, brother. We’re going to remember the Bush administration as a time when men were men and sheep were nervous.
shortsshortsshorts: In Arabian Islam, human images are forbidden.
So my answer to your question is: Fox News.
Lessee, camera guy’s behind me, he’ll get the ears, but that’s OK. 4th quarter, three minutes to go. Click up one to get digital–oh, great, we can watch the Comcast feed from Phoenix.
loudmouthredhead: Come uno castrato.
Barack had the Cards. Geithner and Daschle had the…er…”Stealers.”
Shrek. But from midnight to dawn he turns into Bill Clinton unless Barney Frank bitch-slaps him awake.
I’m just happy he didn’t “choke on a pretzel,” slip, get scrapes on his arm, and a black eye. All normal occurrences in the WH from the way it used to be. Oh yeah, that was the other guy.
Dudes, Can’t a guy have a little black guy thinking time?
Are they going to have bad tellers at the Bad Bank? And short change you and give you shit? Are they going to have a Very Bad Bank also? And an Incredibly, Seriously Egregiously Bad Bank? Wait, we already have some of those…
loudmouthredhead: Galileo figaro-magnifico-!!!
Just look at that title, “Slacker Prez Watches Football While World Burns”…. How can Denby not love that? How?

Lascauxcaveman: Seriously. I would think that for the POTUS sports viewing we’d be in 120″ territory.
That’s the first time I used the term “120″ territory” without it was a dick joke.
SayItWithWookies: Dr. Wookies, I appoint you Snark Laureate of Wonkette.
Thanks — and I’m not really a doctor, you know. Except to my gynecology patients.
SayItWithWookies: The FDA will ensure that you are certified.
S.Luggo: “Simple tools, that is GWB’s Oval Office indoor antenna. Fuck digital reception.”
The one he put his head on so he could be programmed by Rove? I’m pretty sure *that* had been upgraded to digital.
“The martian watched the strange Earthling ritual on a monitor in his command center as he plotted his invasion. ‘They are such idiots,’ he muttered. ‘Yes, we can. We *can* conquer the Earth!’”
You know what would really make that photo? A couple of robot silhouettes sitting next to him.
Lay-Zee
SayItWithWookies: Since the rest of us here are womenfolks, you’re in the right place for your business.
thongthongthong: I would only trust a fellow Wonketeer to prod my twat with metal instruments. Hugs!
loudmouthredhead: You rocked my womanly little world. Also.
I think that’s more words than former president W ever said in 8 years.
