This official White House photo says it all. President Obama’s in the dark when it comes to economics. He’s in the dark when it comes to domestic policy. He’s in the dark when it comes to foreign policy. He’s in the dark when it comes to the Second Amendment. He’s in the dark when it comes to fuel prices. He’s in the dark when it comes to … well, it might be easier to tell you what he’s not in the dark about.
(pause)
There. That was it.

Olivia? Aren't you going to claim that is a light is from heaven shining on your messiah?
Random thoughts:
No that's not the WH basement...it's the oval office when Obama gets done with it.
Why is it dark? Fossil plants have been outlawed and them solar plants don't work so well this time of night.
Don't you wish you hadn't outlawed those incandescent lights? What little light you are getting comes from a 500$ bulb.
It's 2016 and Obama is meeting with all his supporters.
5 bottles of water on the table. 1 empty chair = plugs Biden in the bathroom and the pivot man under the table.
Room rates posted on the wall means Chris Mathews is close by nursing a serious case of leg tingling ( hey maybe HE is the pivot man).
It is just easier to channel his unclean spirits in the dark.
Thanks so much, now my keyboard is covered with coffee.
Macabre... yet for some reason I belief there is always a possibility of this being true.
This looks more like one of those propaganda photos the Third Reich was so famous for when Hitler was in his final days, living like a Nazi groundhog in the underground bunker, just before he took his own life! If this is the bunker underneath the White House, maybe, just maybe history could repeat itself!
I first figured that the room was illuminated by the full wattage (all 10 of 'em) of his unprecedented intellect, augmented by all 4 watts of ol' short bus Biden.
Then I thought that he probably didn't want the symbolism of the taxpayer getting screwed by the light of the worm lights.
Finally, I realized -- poorly lit room, poorly maintained, trashy surroundings, most likely in the basement of the White House -- he's meeting the Dalai Lama!
That's funny!! :-)
Hmm, what would be the best line?
"Well Mr. President I understand that you have been advised of your right to counsel and you've chosen to waive those rights. Is that correct? Bearing in mind the gravity of the charges, are you sure that's what you want?"
The one in the spotlight is the narcissist.
Sorry, but what I get out of that photo is the other two clowns are in the dark, Obama is scanning the wall looking for a mirror and all three are waiting for Joe Biden to come back from the john and entertain them with Hair Club for Men stories until it's time to tee off.
It's Obama in the spotlight keeping everyone else in the dark. It's the mushroom treatment… keep us in the dark and feed us shit.
Actually in my opinion that photo has a very insidious message.
Obama being the only person illuminated, even the table is only illuminated in front of the president.
His posture or body language is a position of authority and very arrogant.
The other two men are symbolized seated in the dark eagerly awaiting Obama's next syllable.
It looks like a couple of wise guys sitting down with "the boss" plotting their next heist.
Staged photo for sure. He may as well just get his head photoshopped onto a naked, muscled and oily warrior riding a unicorn.
Looks like he's doing his typical 'no nuts' leg crossing pose.
Body language translation: no nuts
Ocean's Three? I guess it would be Obama's Three.
The photo is weird I have no idea what is going on and why it was put out there.
Its dark so you can't see the strings. Just like in the movies before everything was CGI.
