  3. AbstinenceOnly Ed says at 5:55 pm, September 16th, 2009

    I figured him for a purple lightsaber, a la Mace Windu, but then again, I’m a racist.

    Now I know for sure that I love this man.

  7. chascates says at 5:58 pm, September 16th, 2009

    Do or not do. There is no ‘try.’

  8. The President is a Socialism-Facist Muslin-Jedi! Barak Skywalker Obama!

  9. ManchuCandidate says at 5:59 pm, September 16th, 2009

    Rush as Jabba
    Dick Cheney as Salacious Crumb
    W as Jar Jar Binks

  10. superfecta says at 6:00 pm, September 16th, 2009

    Sweet!

  11. Extemporanus says at 6:00 pm, September 16th, 2009

    That’s not the real President Obama! It’s actually a super badass Obama doll made in Japan!

    Orly Taitz is looking for the long form sales receipt as we speak!

  12. salt_bagel says at 6:02 pm, September 16th, 2009

    Kev-O-Tron: Wait, this isn’t a Blingee? I’m pretty sure it’s a Blingee.

  13. slappypaddy says at 6:02 pm, September 16th, 2009

    we knew all along that the force was strong in this one

  14. AbstinenceOnly Ed says at 6:02 pm, September 16th, 2009

    Dick Cheney is Vader is Dick Cheney, you Trekkie bastard!

  15. charlesdegoal says at 6:04 pm, September 16th, 2009

    Hey, Joe, the boy is dangerous. They all sense it; why can’t you?

  16. I’m sure Hopey’s *real* lightsaber is much longer and thicker.

    rambone: OB-4-M4

  17. Joshua Norton says at 6:05 pm, September 16th, 2009

    That’s the ugly stick that Mean Jean Schmidt was done whomped with.

  18. Extemporanus says at 6:07 pm, September 16th, 2009

    Extemporanus: HOLY SHIT! The pants and tie even match!

  19. SayItWithWookies says at 6:09 pm, September 16th, 2009

    And I always thought he was the Gorgon Medusa, as one glance at his skin has been known to turn people into raving lunatics.

  20. Country Club Jihadi says at 6:09 pm, September 16th, 2009

    How long until Redstate has the headline “Shuckin’ and Javelin’”?

  21. Extemporanus says at 6:10 pm, September 16th, 2009

    Carl Spakler: Is that the one where he blows up the Death Panel?

  22. What do you think Michelle is telling him there?

  23. Extemporanus says at 6:15 pm, September 16th, 2009

    AbstinenceOnly Ed: He has a purple lightsaber, too, you racist.

    I mean, afterall, he is the president…

  24. WhatTheHeck says at 6:15 pm, September 16th, 2009

    I thought Star Wars was a Reagan weapons system tested by Insidious Darth Cheney in Iraq.
    But then there’s still that hive of scum and villainy in the Senate to deal with.

  25. TheJerkStoreCalled says at 6:15 pm, September 16th, 2009

    Extemporanus: AH… win. May the force be with you.

  26. Help me, Obamawan Kenobi. You’re my only Hope.

  27. chascates says at 6:17 pm, September 16th, 2009

    Fox News is the Death Star

  28. AnglRdr: if she is anything like Mrs Gleep (or just about any other wife/mother I’ve met) I suspect it’s something along the lines of
    “Put that down before you hurt yourself”
    or
    “um, sweetie? that’s not your light saber give it back now”

  29. “Now, who wants to see me levitate Biden upside down?”

  30. Fox n Fiends says at 6:20 pm, September 16th, 2009

    The Teabag Army of Droids must be stopped!

  31. One Yield Regular says at 6:23 pm, September 16th, 2009

    Oh, SABER…

    Sorry. I thought you said ‘SURPER.

  32. shadowMark says at 6:27 pm, September 16th, 2009

    Yeah, Obama says he made the Kessel run in less than 12 parsecs and the fucking mainstream media doesn’t even ask him why the hell he’s using a unit of distance as if it’s a unit of time. The mainstream media — you will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy.

  33. WOLVERI . . . .

    What?

    Oh.

    Sorry. Wrong movie.

    “I’ve got a bad feeling about this . . . .”

  34. shortsshortsshorts says at 6:32 pm, September 16th, 2009

    chascates: This story practically writes itself.

  35. TheJerkStoreCalled says at 6:32 pm, September 16th, 2009

    “You see, they’re not as clumsy or as random as a blaster.”

  36. Let me help with the alt.text:

    These are not the words you’re looking for. Move along. Move along.

  37. I’m still getting used to looking at ectomorphs again. I remember when being 10 or 20 lbs above ectomorphitude was fat.

  38. GreatOldOnesParty says at 6:37 pm, September 16th, 2009

  39. Extemporanus says at 6:38 pm, September 16th, 2009

    rambone: I believe he prefers to go by “President Skybaracker”.

    Though I could be wrong, as this Potater: sounds quite Force-full.

  40. Lionel Hutz Esq. says at 6:38 pm, September 16th, 2009

    How long until the Conservative spin machine will be yelling that Obama’s saber can’t possibly be that long and thick?

  41. Lionel Hutz Esq. says at 6:40 pm, September 16th, 2009

    As you can see, my young apprentice, your friends have failed. Now witness the firepower of this fully ARMED and OPERATIONAL Death Pannel!

    Kill Trig at will, Commander!

    Cue Tatooine birth certificate in 3, 2, 1…

  45. ChatteringClass says at 6:45 pm, September 16th, 2009

    Potater: Win.

  46. finallyhappy says at 6:45 pm, September 16th, 2009

    next year, the prez needs to be at Dragon-con on Labor day weekend

  47. AngryBlakGuy says at 6:49 pm, September 16th, 2009

    …as a “Star Wars” purist I am insulted by that photo! Why in the name of Grand Moff Tarkin is he holding a light saber like a fencing foil?!

  48. GreatOldOnesParty says at 6:50 pm, September 16th, 2009
  49. LittlePig says at 6:52 pm, September 16th, 2009

    shadowMark: Thank the Force I’m not the only person that annoyed the hell out of.

  50. GreatOldOnesParty says at 6:54 pm, September 16th, 2009

    AngryBlakGuy: No he isn’t. He’s saying “Talk to teh First Hand you uppity Negress!”

  51. LittlePig says at 6:54 pm, September 16th, 2009

    AnglRdr: “There that fool goes thinking he’s Samuel L. Jackson again”

  52. grevillea: Pretty sure that’s a button. You know, to make the lightsaber glow. Man, the only way he could be dorkier is if he had his mother-in-law sew him a Jedi robe.

  53. GreatOldOnesParty says at 6:56 pm, September 16th, 2009

    someone needs to make a 4chan .gif of his head on the StarWarsKid video.
    anyone know how to make those?

  54. Holding Out for a Hero says at 6:56 pm, September 16th, 2009

    Barry looks like he’s having a great time and Michelle is wondering why she married him.

  55. GreatOldOnesParty says at 6:56 pm, September 16th, 2009

    GreatOldOnesParty: Or he’s saying “Don’t make me Force Choke a bitch!”

  56. obfuscator says at 6:59 pm, September 16th, 2009

    he even appears to be making the lightsaber whooshing sound effect mouth sounds in this photo.

    “and then i’d be all ‘VVVSHHH-SSSHHHPRRRP with my lightsaber, mish! then i’d totally give boehner a force push so he flies right over the resolute desk, thru the window and out onto the portico! it would be totally so badass, mish! michelle? honey, look at me! look what i can do, honey!”

  57. Snarkalicious says at 7:01 pm, September 16th, 2009

    It’s a nice touch that he’s cleary making his own sound effects.

  58. He is the coolest president we’ve ever had. Luvs him! Michelle has this look on her face that says “oh no, he’s not doing that in public?” Gotta luv her too. :)

  59. Snarkalicious says at 7:05 pm, September 16th, 2009

    Is it just me, or is the First Dong at about half-mast right there?

  60. AKAM80TheWolf says at 7:05 pm, September 16th, 2009

    AbstinenceOnly Ed:

    It’s not purple, it’s grape! Because I’m racist too, also.

  61. Snarkalicious says at 7:12 pm, September 16th, 2009

  63. rocktonsammy says at 7:22 pm, September 16th, 2009

    You lie, come here mutha fucker!!

  64. SnarkNotFark says at 7:22 pm, September 16th, 2009

    Its clear to me that he is fighting a training droid, like the one on the Millenium Falcon. It is also clear the he is peaking, when he should be focusing.

    Michele is shouting, “Shut your damn eyes and use the force.”

  65. finallyhappy says at 7:27 pm, September 16th, 2009

    AbstinenceOnly Ed: Trekker bastard is the proper term.

  66. shadowMark says at 7:27 pm, September 16th, 2009

    LittlePig: At the Wookieepedia there’s an article about the Kessel Run explaining why “parsec” was used “correctly” and on some commentary track George Lucas says the same thing, refusing to admit he was just writing gibberish he thought sounded like science-talk. (It occurs to me, as I type this, that this probably isn’t the kind of sexy-talk that would make Meghan McCain want to sleep with me. And, as I type that, it occurs to me this probably isn’t the kind of sexy-talk that would make Maureen Dowd want to sleep with me. Star Wars — That stuff should come with a warning label.)

  67. Diamante: Since when does Wonkette support the use of fucking emoticons?

  68. hoosiermama says at 7:29 pm, September 16th, 2009

    GreatOldOnesParty: I flagged it as inappropriate. Only your blingee shall prevail.

  69. Remember what happened to Princess Lea’s home planet in the first movie? Need I say more, FOX NEWS.

  70. shadowMark says at 7:35 pm, September 16th, 2009
  71. shadowMark says at 7:38 pm, September 16th, 2009

    shadowMark: nestor: I once did an emoticon by accident, but I see I don’t remember how I did it. ;-)

  72. shadowMark says at 7:42 pm, September 16th, 2009

    shadowMark: Oh. I guess I did remember how I did it. So, now I know how to play, but I’ve got to go grocery shopping. Damn. I mean :-(

  73. This is freaking epic. We already Sith as President: Darth Reagan anyone? Now it is time for Jedi knight Obama! I would say that hopey is making star wars cool again but the ladies strongly disagree. He should strike them down with force lightning; its o.k. to indulge the darkside once in a while.

  74. Ok.

    That. Is. Awesome.

  76. pinko-commie says at 8:31 pm, September 16th, 2009

    Yes, yes, there’s a lightsaber. But can someone please explain to me why Michelle is wearing a belt at nipple-height? That’s the real story here.

  77. Holding Out for a Hero: any good wife does that 10 times a day, god love’em.

  78. DangerousLiberal says at 8:40 pm, September 16th, 2009

    Sorry to change the subject, but has anyone ever noticed that Mrs. Obama is very attractive, also? One might even say pretty. Whaddya know.

    I find your lack of faith in insurance reform disturbing Senator Baucus

  81. AbstinenceOnly Ed: You’re both wrong. Cheney was Emperor Palpatine, with the real power:

  82. Bearbloke says at 8:47 pm, September 16th, 2009

    AngryBlakGuy: nurd.

    Holding Out for a Hero: Because Michelle (correctly) guessed he was goin’ places - like the White House…

    finallyhappy: Hey now! - At least us “Trekker Bastards” didn’t support 3 horrible prequels that came out 5 20 years too late, only to diminish the glory of the original movie…

    pinko-commie: ‘Cos Barry likes her to Rack ‘em and Stack ‘em…

  83. This is a much better show, Earl, leave it on this channel so I can watch me some dancing with the Jedi Stars.

  84. teratologram says at 8:55 pm, September 16th, 2009

    Ohhhh, Mrs Robinson! So sneaky, that one. She gave this voodoo SATANIC SANTERIA death stick to him, knowing he’d mistake it for a dang light saber.

    (inshallah)

  85. NiceCleanLady says at 9:02 pm, September 16th, 2009

    Michelle: Barack! The Republicans are going to say healthcare will be your Hoth!

  86. Carl Spakler says at 9:08 pm, September 16th, 2009

    memzilla: Makes perfect sense to me…Vader was the one who restored balance to the force by killing the Emperor. Luke was 0-1-1 against Vader and hung with the pre-furry Ewoks

    God I’ve been a nerd my whole life!!

    The President is so cute here. Sweet!

  90. desertwind says at 9:20 pm, September 16th, 2009

    pinko-commie: Because she can!

    Extra fashion note for those who don’t obsessively follow Mrs. O style: Michelle said Barack calls that belt her Star Trek belt.

    They’re both so cute and dorky. I hope Washington doesn’t beat all the fun out of them.

  91. NiceCleanLady says at 9:21 pm, September 16th, 2009

    “This is the only way we’ll ever beat the Borg!”

  92. Dashboard_Buddha says at 9:23 pm, September 16th, 2009

    You know…I might not like every policy that Hopey comes out with, but DAMN…even when he’s goofin’ he looks 100x smarter the GWB.

  93. NiceCleanLady says at 9:34 pm, September 16th, 2009

    Ah, hell Bar-aack. Don’t waste your Force on the Jaba the Hutlicans.

  94. June Cleaver 2.0 says at 9:34 pm, September 16th, 2009

    dementor: Yes, but he only has arms for the mesomorph.

    Coolest. President. Evar.

  96. Wait his head isn’t Photoshopped? Damn, it looks freakin’ Photoshopped.

  97. FreedomPoodle says at 10:27 pm, September 16th, 2009

    Does this lazy guy ever work ?
    Them ni… are all the same : All game and no play!
    Would our beloved Canuckistan PM, Caligula Harper, be photographed in such a ridicule act?
    No, never! He wouldn’t even think to do such stupid monkey (ni…) play.
    He’s a serious guy.
    Wake up Murikans, your president is nothing but a clown, you deserve a serious guy like S. Caligula Harper.
    And we (I) will gladly sell him to you, serious Murikans, at bargain price! ‘Specially now that he’s in Washington - no freight to pay.
    Even if Caligula Harper is not Murika born, just like the other guy, nobody will care: he’s of the right colour (a British word), and furthermore, he’s blond. Also!
    (The Freedom Poodle says that his master drinks too much Armagnac!)

  98. FreedomPoodle: And reads a bit too much Le Pen…

  99. Bearbloke: Nah, he is trying to lowball us into a trade. We don’t want your canadien lemon.

    It’s an homage to the Teabaggers cuz bending over and pulling a goatse never would have made it past the secret service.

  102. FreedomPoodle says at 12:44 am, September 17th, 2009

    I-man: Thanks - You just blew out one of my prejudices : Nobody ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the Murikans. I hate you … and most Wonkeratis for that!
    You sure you don’t want to buy him? Pretty sure???? Please !!! Free??? How much do you ask to take him ?
    Bearbloke: If you ever had used a pen as a writing implement, you would know that this name “Le Pen”, is not the real name of the guy. The real name of this old fart is Le crayon (with a little “c”).

  103. FreedomPoodle: A thousand apologies! The only writing implement I use is Richard Nixon’s mummified penis dipped in santorum - c’est magnifique!!

  104. He’s going to challenge Joe Wilson to a duel! Just like Andrew Jackson would!

  105. Anarchitect says at 1:20 am, September 17th, 2009

    You can tell by his lips he’s making the light saber sound.

    Bearbloke: Yeark !
    The image!
    I’m over 100 y. o. and I learned to write with pens. Pen balls were not even invented when I started school. When the ink stopped to flow, we were told to wet the tip of the pen with the tip of our tongue.
    Doing this with your w.i. would be plain suicide! And disgusting also!

    You know he’s way more Doctor than Skywalker.

  108. LoweredPeninsula says at 3:01 am, September 17th, 2009

    I love this guy, and I’m not even one of his fanboy’s, at least, I wasn’t ’till now.

    Now, the conservatives have another strike against this guy: he’s a goddamned Jedi. They only support Sith Lords for the Oval Office, of course. That said, Obami Won Kenobi is still only a padawan learner. He’s got to grow some balls before he becomes a full-fledged Jedi Master.

  110. Captain Swing says at 8:32 am, September 17th, 2009

    The Dark Lord Cheney has finally emerged from his basement lair, revealing himself as the true master of evil. Our young Jedi Barack Skywalker has drawn his lightsaber, to save the Empire from eternal darkness.

    As he faces this dark menace, a voice emerges through The Force, and resonates with the fabric of the Universe. It is Ted Kennedy:

    “The Force will be with you, always…”

  111. Liebestod says at 8:45 am, September 17th, 2009

    but but, the dark Lord Dictate-ney can’t not be Barack Skywalker’s father!! I thought he’s father was an African lion.. what do I do when the lightening strikes me…?

  115. Michelle: This is some rescue. When you came in here, didn’t you have a plan for getting out?

  116. Liebestod: They are kissing cousins, so that is a close enough relationship for this analogy.
