Yeesh, that can not be an approved pic of President Obama. Not only does he look like Frankenstein's monster about to dismember some villagers, the photographer is several steps too far to the left to achieve the requisite inner glow effect!

I'm off to report this photographic rabble-rousing to photo-flag@whitehouse.gov...

Somehow I think Kenneth might have something say about the girl-fists...

Shhh, Trace. Don't spoil it for Kenneth.

But Big O does look like he could use a spangly pom-pom in each hand. Or a detonator.

Where's EJ?

Yeah, Justin Bieber looks totally kick-ass by comparison.

I'm pretty sure Michelle knows how to make a proper fist. Maybe she could coach him?

Slouching toward Gollum? That sure looks like the One Ring on his left hand.

If moonlight causes that severe a reaction imagine what some lembas scented cigs would do.

Is that the moon or the Eye of Sauron?

President Obama's face and expression remind me of nothing so much as Johnny from Airplane! All that is missing is a caption reading "...And Leon's getting LAAAARRRRRGEEEERRRR"

Or in this case perhaps it should say the debt is getting larger.

Looks more like The Glow was fleeing Obama as fast as it could make off.

Someone show this pic to Chris Matthews, we need a fresh reading on the Tingle-O-Meter!
