In case you have any doubts that Barack Obama believes himself to be not merely an employee of the People of the United States, but rather an emperor or a czar or a pretty pony princess, look no further than this June 2014 photo of him succumbing to the temptation to wear a crown. Politico attempts to spin it as a cute end-of-year story in which the would-be monarch is merely goofing around with some girl scouts:
Sporting a tiara in a photo posted Wednesday, President Barack Obama seems to have broken his own rule of “you don’t put stuff on your head if you’re president.”
But that’s the power of the Girl Scouts.
If this were merely an innocent publicity shot, why would White House lackey Pete Souza suppress it for six months? We're not buying the cover story that Souza floated on Instagram:
Still editing 2014 Year in Photos. I may include this one even though it's a posed photo. This is from the annual White House Science Fair. The kids from Girl Scout Troop 2612 in Tulsa, Oklahoma, convinced the President to wear a tiara with them for their group photo. The girls had exhibited a Lego flood proof bridge project.
Why was this photo withheld until after the elections? Is this the face of a man who intends to stop wearing a crown? Do you really think he will allow the 2016 elections, or any others, go forward?
Politico explains the source of Obama's "no stuff on your head" diktat, which of course The One feels free to ignore:
[D]uring a ceremony at the White House in 2013 where he presented the Commander-in-Chief’s trophy to the Navy football team, the president declined to try on the custom football helmet.
“Here’s the general rule: You don’t put stuff on your head if you’re president,” Obama said at the time. “That’s politics 101. You never look good wearing something on your head.”
And now we know it was just one more empty pledge, like "If you like your plan, you can keep it." How can anyone trust this man?
Also, why is the government wasting our money on bridges made of Lego blocks? They would be as flimsy as the promises Barack Hussein Obama made when he claimed he would "uphold and defend the Constitution" of our once-great land.
We weep for America.
Today, we are all pretty pony princesses. Of course, that&#039;s true <i>every</i> day in Wonketteland.
Poe&#039;s Law in action: Even the most ridiculous, over-the-top satire of buthurt wingnut ranting is indistinguishable from actual butthurt wingnut ranting. The only tell, really, was the source. Wonkette, like the Onion, needs to be approached with care.
