While Barack Obama is doing Man’s Work at the fancy 10 Downing St. dinner tonight, with Angela Merkel, stay-at-home mom Michelle Obama will be segregated with the other G20 spouses and forced to sup with the beloved author of devil-fiction directed at children. Michelle will sit next to J.K. Rowling, famous gazillionaire and creator of the Harry Potter witchcraft craze. The Obamas are big fans of the 38 Harry Potter bibles, from which they taught their daughters how to cast magical spells to kill villains. [The SUN/LA Times/Telegraph]
…is that the “Mark of the Beast” on his forehead?
Well, this is as good a thread as any in which to post First Lady pr0n:

Where do I get me a Barack OPotter action figure?
jagorev: Interesting slide show of the Wives of the G-20, but not as much fapping material as I had anticipated.
WARLOCKS.
WARLOCKS.
HARRY POTTER IS HOMOSEXUAL, AND A WARLOCK.
WARLOCKS!!!111!!!!!
O YAH??? HOWCUM MR CHENEYS NOT DEAD YET!!111???
Aloysius: Plus, only 10 wives among the G-20? WTF? Or were the others too homely to be included?
Carla Bruni: mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
OMG, that figure is great. I want one! However, there is a sort of Cosby-ish quality to the nose and lips, but I guess those Chinese know our negroes better than we know, say Uyghurs.
In celebration of UK-USA amity, I punched out both Boy George and a male hooker.
Michelle Obama is twice as tall as the Queen of England:

V572625694: Well, some of the others are a little more, how shall we say - matronly. For instance, here’s Mr & Mrs. Manmohan Singh:

how are the negroes doing so far over there in london, have they embarrassed all the good white americans yet, like everyone seems to be afraid they will? from some of the breathless commentary you’d think being brown was synonymous with being stupid; i can’t see how they could possibly be more embarrassing than the last asshat who molested angela merkel.
Ken, again, I can’t stop laffing at the alt text, in my stuffy, crowded office, in my not-even a cube, I didn’t think anyone was more of a Potta’ dork than me…
V572625694: No, they wife-swap. Each G20 leader gets his own wife and another’s, drawn out of a hat.
Lascauxcaveman: Obama still has to gather the horcruxes and Cheney has them all locked away in undisclosed locations.
The Harry O’bama figure is one of many variations as seen here. It’s the regular 6″ Barack Obama action figure — not nearly as fancy as the Darth Vader-fighting 12″ real-cloth-suited Obama that Sara wrote about — and the person just added some paint and a cape or whatever.
By the way, if you buy the regular cheap 6″ Obama action figure for your kids, for Christmas, because they wanted a “Barack Obama action figure,” you should know that it towers over the little Star Wars figures, and will therefore not really be used in Star Wars play scenarios.
jagorev: Lets hope that the Obamas gave her an iPod Nano and not a full-sized one. I kid ye not. After the success of the gift of DVDs to the PM, now an iPod for the 80-something-year-old woman. I’m sure the only thing she really wanted was a nice sit down and a cup of tea.
Ha ha, I love the alt-text.
Ken Layne: I don’t know Harry Potter too well (enough to know about his lightning-bolt forehead scar, which signifies he joins the National Socialists after the last book), but a couple more colors in the scarf and it’s Doctor Who.
iwillsavethispatient: If they gave her a Shuffle she could swallow it and have the gift of music wherever she went. Though it’d be kinda funny to see her jump up and down to advance tracks.
Ken Layne: Ken, thanks for road testing these guys for us. Do they have the lead paint that comes off when your kid chews on them, like all good Chinese action figures?
Single greatest rollover text caption I’ve ever read. I created a Wonkette account just to say that. Also because I want to be able to leave little “<3″ on all the Rahm Emmanuel hero posts. Yay, Wonkette!
jagorev: Poor Prince Phillip, having to put up with the Presidential blackamoors in his home.
iwillsavethispatient: Well, you are making them sit down and eat terrible boring British food cooked by Jamie Oliver (lamb? mint jelly? “bakewell tarts”? “sea-kale”? those aren’t even real!), so that should be punishment enough:

MonnyBon: And the tag isn’t half bad either.
Oh, what the hell. It works in Live Action Roleplay.
I said it a million times…those spells don’t work. If they did, my damn clients would do whatever I tell them to do without whining.
shortsshortsshorts: No, as was made abundantly clear in the books, but Dumbledore was, apparently. J.K. Rowling loves the gays.
What is this fuckery? Insert “Harry Obama and the Half-Blood Muslin: joke here.
I know nothing of this dull little boy and his magic tricks.
Red Zeppelin: Haha…my honey said something about Uyghurs once and he was told “you can’t use that word! That’s so rude!”. They thought he was saying “wiggers”.
I’m Barack’s age and just finished reading the entire series aloud, all seven books, to my older daughter. Not that I’m equating being President with being a Wonketeer…
Custerwolf: Not to worry. Long ago I tried to make it through the first book because I liked the opening few paragraphs. I kept waiting for it to get better. Nothing doing. Cut to 10 years later fighting with my 7-year old, who I thought was too young to start getting into them (Harry’s ten years old in the first book, so ideally the target reader of the first book should be around that age). Cut to 11 years later, when I completed reading every single fucking word out loud for the benefit of the fruit of my loins (which are pretty fruity loins I will admit).
Moral of story: Don’t procreate. Abstinence works best.
I hope they’re not forced to eat Spotted Dick in a Bloody Toad Hole or something. Perhaps they’ll just order curries. Michele should tell Rowling there won’t be any stimulus agreements until the last 3 Potter flicks are released.
Mr Blifil: I read the books to the family too. It was great fun and made for enjoyable group discussion.
Now the girls read Twilight and the boys try not to vomit.
L Urchin: MonnyBon: I have to shout-out the “38 Harry Potter bibles” line, which I find hilarious, because my bible-thumping sister really won’t let her kids read the books are the movie because of the “devil worshiping.”
problemwithcaring: NOBAMA=teh ANTI CRIST!1!!1!!
proof MICHELLE is a “W”ICH!?!?!
Hooray For Anything: Winicus Totalis.
Mr Blifil: Thank you for that wonderful story.
jagorev: Welsh lamb, Scottish salmon, Irish soda bread… I think Jamie’s been ticking boxes to avoid upsetting anyone.
problemwithcaring: I went to school with two kids like that. They didn’t read the books, then tried to tell those of us who had what was in them. Every argument was countered with “No, It teaches witchcraft.”
Two weeks later I saw the fuckers at the theater, going in to see “Hellboy.” Demons are apparently OK, but not witches. I guess their voodoo priest hadn’t got around to banning mediocre action films yet.
Action figure FAIL. They made him look like frankenberry.
HA! I read the headline and instantly thought, “Wow, she’s talking to Ron Paul supporters. What a kind lady.”
