Look at the bright side. There isn't an intern under the desk.
Are you sure? I can't tell from the angle of the photo.
Just what I was thinking!
We won't even speculate as to the sex of the intern.
Don't read nothing into it, he's just limbering his arm up for his next meeting with a head of state
For their fishing trip?
He doesn't want to get Master Baiters Shoulder.
Lil' Johnny Meets Barack
Barack Obama was visiting a primary school and he visited one of the classes. They were in the middle of a discussion related to words and their meanings. The teacher asked the president if he would like to lead the discussion on the word 'tragedy'. So our illustrious president asked the class for an example of a 'tragedy'.
One little boy stood up and offered: "If my best friend, who lives on a farm, is playing in the field and a tractor runs over him and kills him, that would be a tragedy."
"No,' said Obama, 'that would be an accident."
A little girl raised her hand: "If a school bus carrying 50 children drove over a cliff, killing everyone inside, that would be a tragedy."
"I'm afraid not,' explained Obama.
'That's what we would call great loss."
The room went silent. No other children volunteered. Obama searched the room. "Isn't there someone here who can give me an example of a tragedy?"
Finally, at the back of the room, Little Johnny raised his hand. In a quiet voice he said: "If the plane carrying you and Mrs. Obama was struck by a 'friendly fire' missile and blown to smithereens, that would be a tragedy."
"Fantastic!' exclaimed Obama. 'That's right. And can you tell me why that would be tragedy?"
"Well,' says Johnny, 'It has to be a tragedy, because it sure as hell wouldn't be a great loss... and you can bet your ass it's probably wasn't an accident either."
Obama is just trying to show that he's a switch hitter.
Obama tried to Bully Britain regarding BP and failed, is he on the phone to Cameron again ! No contest ! Goodbye Mr President and take that bat with you, simply not Cricket old chap.
Well at least he has a suit and tie...and his feet OFF OUR DESK for a change.
Of course that could just be election time pandering.
A photo of the president holding a bat doesn't just happen, they din't "miss" the bat when proofing the photos. No way it was an accident.
It was meant to convey some message-
If it had been a golf club...
Say..if the bat was used to intimidate, wouldn't that mean it's a "assault bat" ?
It was definitely intended to be a message. It was intended to make Americans think dickboy is finally getting "tough" with those pesky Islamic types. Dickboy's supporters were wet to the knees about the message. Those of us against him, laughed at the notion of Mr. Mom Jeans trying to act tough.
How does he get his slip to not bunch up in those Mom Jeans? It doesn't seem to make sense.
Crotchless thong. Now, enjoy the rest of the day getting that imagery up out of your head!!! ;)
Crotchless thong
Isn't that just a string?
Yeah. You know how you take butcher's twine to truss up a plump pork roast.....picture a plump cocoa brown trussed up, uhh.... camel toe... ohh no. I just threw up in my mouth a little... a lot.
Leave it Beaver Obutthead to manage to piss off another country just by talking on the phone.....He is a shit magnet of the highest order..is there a Nobel for that?
You spelled "golf club" wrong.
Remember the scene in Spaceballs when Dark Helmet (Rick Moranis) is playing with the dolls, fantasizing about "conquering" Princess Vespa?
"your bat is so big!"
