Hey It’s Barack Obama Sitting On Some Stairs

by Jim Newell  7:48 pm June 10, 2009

George Will is dying right now. The president is sitting on a pile of trash, basically. And is the fellow on the left wearing dungarees and flip flops? Can we get a column on flip flops, George Will? Close those legs, Obama. [Pete Souza/White House]

Flip flops in DC? The Republic is on its last legs.

shortsshortsshorts June 10, 2009 at 7:51 pm

THIS IS VERY OFFENSIVE. I HAVE BEEN 4 BLOCKS FROM THOSE STAIRS.

El Bombastico June 10, 2009 at 7:51 pm

How dare you?!? I was FOUR BLOCKS AWAY when this person paired espadrilles with jeans!

This will never get old. Wait, it already is.

ShamWow June 10, 2009 at 7:53 pm

Obama’s open legs just made me starburst

El Bombastico June 10, 2009 at 7:53 pm

[re=336355]shortsshortsshorts[/re]: Dammit.

AngryBlakGuy June 10, 2009 at 8:07 pm

…shouldn’t he be facing the east?

facehead June 10, 2009 at 8:08 pm

An exquisite shot of George Bush Sr. groping a wombat.

Needs a tad more grope though.

peggynooner June 10, 2009 at 8:10 pm

[re=336355]shortsshortsshorts[/re]: Hilarious meme. Work trucknutz in and you’ll get a gold star from the overlords.

facehead June 10, 2009 at 8:10 pm

[re=336356]El Bombastico[/re]: FOUR AND A HALF BLOCKS ALAN!!!!!!!!!

Now it is dead.

schvitzatura June 10, 2009 at 8:12 pm

George Will needs to have the benefits of selvage serge de nimes explained to him.

Double-vented jacket paired with demi-huaraches? Call DHS and have this suspected enemy combatant shipped to sunny Palau!

Country Club Jihadi June 10, 2009 at 8:12 pm

When I finally become Reggie’s girlfriend, I shall scold him about wearing flip-flops in Paris.

goodluck/badluck June 10, 2009 at 8:15 pm

He probably sat down to save the guy on the right from the embarrassment of being photographed next to the president with such a wrinkly motherfuckin shirt on.

Counter-clockwise from Sandals it’s like the evolution of footwear… “boots” are probably implied.

upsidedownpaddle June 10, 2009 at 8:19 pm

Is the Print ad photo for The Wire Season 6?

DC Hates Me June 10, 2009 at 8:20 pm

This is one of those smooth jazz albums, isn’t it?

Hopey dont play that game June 10, 2009 at 8:21 pm

Is this a dockers ad from 1988?

iantenna June 10, 2009 at 8:23 pm

“let the coolness get into our vertebrae.”

Cicada June 10, 2009 at 8:25 pm

Where is the promised picture of Bush with a wombat? Dammit, Jim, is there no accountability?

Extemporanus June 10, 2009 at 8:28 pm

Is that an ad for Banana Republic’s new Muslin Loafer Summer Collection?

Country Club Jihadi June 10, 2009 at 8:31 pm

Of course, I will also Dick Morris Reggie’s toes like there’s no tomorrow.

AngryBlakGuy June 10, 2009 at 8:36 pm

…where is his pack of Newports and cup of Kool-Aid?

EdFlinstone June 10, 2009 at 8:36 pm

Jesus this is George Will’s nightmare; jeans, no ties, flipflops, sneakers, rolled up sleeves and no snazzy bow ties.

Jim Newell June 10, 2009 at 8:38 pm

[re=336393]Cicada[/re]: You’re right, but Reggie Love toe-fucking porn was good enough, I thought. (It was offensive.)

lizard scum June 10, 2009 at 8:44 pm

It’s good to see our philosopher-king holding forth.

chascates June 10, 2009 at 8:50 pm

Barry should declare ‘casual Fridays’ and just let the chips fall. Isn’t it hot as hell in DC during the summer? And a tie on Dick Cheney doesn’t make him less of a hyena.

Lionel Hutz Esq. June 10, 2009 at 8:51 pm

Damn Negros and their jazz cigarettes. He deserves what George Will gives him this time.

schvitzatura June 10, 2009 at 8:51 pm

[re=336401]EdFlinstone[/re]: Yes, there is a distinct lack of obligatory late spring seersucker. Oh, the humanity!

cal June 10, 2009 at 8:57 pm

I believe this is what the young people today call “chillaxin’.”

SlipperyDick June 10, 2009 at 9:04 pm

How can Obama be our king if he insists on acting like an ordinary person?

goodluck/badluck June 10, 2009 at 9:13 pm

It figures that Barack Obama would sit on some Negro stairs by a Jew/Negro building with his Negro Assistant while a Jew/Negro/White panel of interlocutors surround him in an array of Jew/Oriental shoes.

d4g33z June 10, 2009 at 9:20 pm

Thank you for any half-mention of Reggie Love or indirect reference thereof.

lmj June 10, 2009 at 9:30 pm

This is the most outrageous violation of the dignity of the presidency ever since William Howard Taft demonstrated his ultra-super-oversized special X-tra large bathtub. The scandalous thing is that underneat his clothes, Taft was buck bare nekked!

But this is worse, because, Obama! OPelose! OBiden! and OFrank!

Holding Out for a Hero June 10, 2009 at 9:35 pm

No comments for Rahm’s khakis and white tennis shoes? And no, don’t ask me how I knew the torso on the right was Rahm.

AxmxZ June 10, 2009 at 9:48 pm

[re=336383]goodluck/badluck[/re]: Don’t let Rahm hear you say that about his shirt. He will fuck yo shit up.

AxmxZ June 10, 2009 at 9:53 pm

[re=336444]Holding Out for a Hero[/re]: Something about the posture and the foot position reveals years of ballet training.

Jukesgrrl June 10, 2009 at 9:55 pm

[re=336408]chascates[/re]: Please do not insult hyenas. If you must compare Cheney to an animal, may I recommend the boar — for the value of the homonym, as well as the fact that they were prominent in Nazi Germany.

TexasCowGirl June 10, 2009 at 9:57 pm

Why does our Muslin Overlord Barry Hussein positively insist on being so very sexy? These types of photos make it difficult for me to convince myself that I didn’t vote for him because he’s hot.

Witsendnj June 10, 2009 at 10:24 pm

Pant, pant, pant…

rocktonsammy June 10, 2009 at 10:55 pm

IF HE BREAKS OUT A 40 AND A SHEET OF CARDBOARD FOR BREAK DANCING, NEVERMIND

WadISay June 10, 2009 at 11:18 pm

When Barry’s butt is the hammer, every stair looks like a nail.

Humpback June 10, 2009 at 11:22 pm

The President has stumbled and fallen! Oh, someone help the poor man up!

AnnieGetYourFun June 10, 2009 at 11:48 pm

I… I just can’t picture the Secret Service NOT having a heart attack over this.

Joshua Norton June 10, 2009 at 11:54 pm

Hanging out on the front porch is a black thing. Deal with it.

19kevin8 June 11, 2009 at 12:15 am

If George W Bush had died in 2002, he’d be turning is his grave, with a bandage on his face.
If he’d died in the summer of 2008, he’d be turning in his grave while slouching at a 45 degree angle during his Olympic games interview with Bob Costas.

CollegeStudent June 11, 2009 at 2:20 am

[re=336364]dijetlo[/re]: If one was allowed to congratulate a comment with a single word indicating a victorious achievement, your comment would have garnered such a response from me.

I can see that same picture being taken on the steps of Punahou School or in the ’80′s at Columbia. Once a dude is the one never carrying his own stash and always hitting up his friends, he’s always that dude…even if he’s the President.

AxmxZ June 11, 2009 at 2:57 am

[re=336499]AnnieGetYourFun[/re]: Next he’ll be unbuttoning his shirt and draping himself artistically over benches with orgasmically shut eyes towards the sun.

No wait, that’s my wanking image for tomorrow. Nevermind.

SayItWithWookies June 11, 2009 at 4:14 am

I know, I’m a whore. My excuse is that I think it’s pertinent.

Prediction: That’s going to be the most popular spot in Paris for photographs. If the French are smart, they’ll encourage this.

tehbenton June 11, 2009 at 7:42 am

George Will simply does not care for this thong sandal footwear.

Manos: Hands of Fate June 11, 2009 at 8:09 am

Check out the bum on right who can’t even bother to tuck in his shirt. George Will no doubt is laying awake in bed, fully dressed in his pressed and fully buttoned silk pajamas over the decline of this once great Republic.

Anita Cocktail June 11, 2009 at 9:05 am

I must disagree. Open those legs wide, Barack, and come to mama….

Monsieur Grumpe June 11, 2009 at 9:06 am

Chillin.

Johnny Zhivago June 11, 2009 at 9:18 am

I went over to Flickr and there is not one single photo where Obama looks like a complete idiot or even sort of an idiot. Compare this to the Bush Presidency – where you could count on at least 75% of his photos being funny.

The only conclusion I can draw is that Bush’s real problem was his photographer.

George Will's Bow Tie June 11, 2009 at 9:57 am

good god man, laying down on the job? no wonder we’re all going to hell.

ella June 11, 2009 at 11:01 am

[re=336354]chascates[/re]: Flip flops and jeans are better than sandals and socks. Or Crocs in any combination.

Gorillionaire June 11, 2009 at 11:08 am

All that pic needs is a busted sofa on the front porch and that could be my rent house and roomies circa 7PM any work day 1994-1996.

Real Talk June 11, 2009 at 11:15 am

The President, Reggie (slippers) Axelrod (suit) and Emanuel (sneakers)

frumious_bandersnatch June 11, 2009 at 11:28 am

Rahm. Unf. Also: nice tuchis, Mr. COS. I hope George Will has a niiiice conniption.

zenferret June 11, 2009 at 11:40 am

Right-wingers idea of humor:

How is Barrack Obama like Jesus Christ?

Neither has a birth certificate.

Seriously the dud thought it was hysterical.

Specially since now we know that answer is they both hang out with guys wearing sandals.

[re=336408]chascates[/re]:

The tie on Cheney is a camouflage for his choke collar.

Elastic Syntax June 11, 2009 at 11:45 am

He’s got Polio! More and more like FDR everyday.

AxmxZ June 11, 2009 at 3:15 pm

[re=336585]Johnny Zhivago[/re]: Barry has a suspicious knack for that – not looking like an idiot in front of the camera. One almost suspects youthful modeling indiscretions.

EdFlinstone June 11, 2009 at 5:07 pm

Its probably wonkette warping my already sick, twisted mind but this looks like the start of some gay gangbang scene.

Scandalabra June 11, 2009 at 7:33 pm

I had to download that one to the hidden folder “dickfood” for later perusal and deconstruction.
