Caption contest: Barry and Hill at recess; Update: Obama declines again to address Somali pirate crisis
Dayo Olopade of The Root snapped an exclusive photo of President Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton showing America’s strength and resolve while tackling the pirate crisis.
In the war room?
No.
Caption contest time. Have at it.

And from Exurban League: Obama’s reaching out to “moderate” pirates.

Pray for Capt. Richard Phillips. He made a brave midnight attempt to escape from the Somali pirates, but was recaptured as a US warship watched nearby.
***
Update: Obama still won’t say anything about the Somali pirate crisis.
Mum’s the word.
Or rather: Ummmm’s the word.

Obama: “How can I hit Hillary in the head with that blue thing?”
“We can’t be overheard by the Secret Service or reporters, now what do you think we should do about the pirates, Hill? I’m stumped!”
Playing politics was fun! Whaddaya wanna do now?
The children are in charge of naional security.
Gosh, Hillary. All the other boys on the playground make fun of me. Can you hit them for me?
Barry: “Are you going to eat your tots?”
Hillary!: “No. Here, you can have them.”
Hillary says: I will be here Barack for you when the 3AM call comes soon
Barack says: Playing President is hard thank god I have you Hillary
Barry… “so, how do you shut off the phone in the bedroom?, it keeps ringing in the middle of the night… I’ve tried ignoring it but…”
“President stuff is hard……”
I don’t have a caption, but I can’t believe that our forces stood by and did nothing after Capt. Phillips tried to escape. Obviously I wasn’t there, but I’m just struggling with the idea that they didn’t lend assistance, or have some kind of contingency plan in the event he made a break for it. It’s very frustrating, and I can’t imagine how Capt. Phillips must feel right now.
“That swingset really did look a lot bigger in the catalog…. I should have paid attention to the weight limit” “So, what do ya wanna do now?”
Please tell me, Hillary, how can I present an image of being a strong, decisive leader?
Hillary: “Blah, blah, blah, blah…..”
Obama: “I wonder how Bill dealt with her nonsense.”
This is hard, i didn’t thin I would have to do actual work…..oooooh swing set! wheeeeeeeee! Change! wheeeeee! hope! wheeeeeeeee! And to think I though this was hard before I found the SOTYS(Swing Set of the United States).
I’m surprised the Navy hasn’t put teams of Seals in the water and had them swim underwater during the night to reach the boat carrying the pirates and the hostage captain. That would work, then the seals could do what they learned best and finish the pirates off while rescuing the captain. Makes sense to me. Afterwards, hang the pirates from a yardarm and photograph it and send it around the world as a message to all would-be pirates. Worked 200 years ago, would work today as well.
Caption: OBAMA: “Hey Hillary, who’s Bill doing these days?”
HILLARY: “Who knows? At least it’s not me.”
TOTUS: Hmmmm….there must be a way to tax playing….
Based on the photo….
Obama: “I just can’t seem to get everyone in the world to love me.”
Hillary: “I know there are days when you just feel this high.”
The Playground: Where the children laugh and play.
Hillary: Ok, one more game of rock, paper, scissors to decide what to do about the pirates.
Obama: I hate this game because there are way too many choices for me.
First sentence in the linked article.
Hah.
OPH MY GOD!!! Please indulge me and go here….http://tinyurl.com/c994da
I knew I saw this picture before!!!!!!
What should we do about that
pirate ship thing?
I dunno. Hey did you hear britney and k-fed are back together? Those crazy kids….
Back to reality-
You know, I can’t even joke about these clowns in charge of our security. Why send the military if you know you won’t use them? Send bankers with our money to pay them off, fools!
I’m sure that’s in the works as we speak..
Barry: “Ok, what about this- we can tax ‘curtains’ next. Some people have thicker, more private curtains than the impoverished. We could tax them, right?”
Shrillary: “Now, that’s being presidential, in my book.”
Barry: “Uhm, I, uh, uh, that is what I uh, thought.”
“Blue balls; now I get it Bill”. – Barack Obama.
I think the bear would do a better job. At least he would defend something.
I said the same thing to hubby this morning, Bradley. The only reason I can think of for them not getting SEAL involvement is that BO has ordered them not to do so??????
(Voice quivering) “Gimme back my juice money! I’m the President!”
What a photo!
If I had a penny for every time I’ve placed two kids in “time-out” for not getting along while on the playground for recess. They sit exactly like that!
Look at Hillary’s hand. She’s obviously using the Jedi Mind Trick on Obama. He’s certainly weak minded enough.
b-cat, where’s the link?
In the article above, where it reads “President Pantywaist”. But here it is directly.
http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/gerald_warner/blog/2009/04/10/barack_obama_president_pantywaist__new_surrender_monkey_on_the_block
Duh, it is because Obama does not see how some aquatic creature would be able to save the day….
Obama thinking to himself: “If I send her to the front lines what are the odds she gets hit? Bill may be on to something.”
Barry: “Your staff told me to bow to that King, and to grab the Queen. That wasn’t nice, Mrs. Clinton. I looked like a fool!”
Shrillary: “Heh heh heh heh.”
Barry: “I hate you, Hillary.”
Shrillary: “I hate you too. When will these ##+&% photographers ever leave!?”
As for the pirates, I expect that our newly elected left wing super geniuses are trying to figure some way out without using any military means at all. Modus operandi. Wouldn’t want the Navy to look good. Brave young men might start volunteering for SEAL training! We just can’t have that.
Hillary: “I hate it when the other kids won’t play with me or always pick me last!”
Barack: ” I know! I know! But even worse, I got totally pantsed and two swirlies this morning!”
BO: It’s just… really hard, ya know? I mean, I WON and everything, but Rush and all those other mean guys keep picking on me!
Hildebeast: Look, you can’t let ‘em push you around. You have to show ‘em who’s boss.
BO: I know, I know.
Hey, do you think, maybe, you could say something? You’re better at that than I am. Please! I helped you with your campaign debt, remember?
Hil: Oh, alright! But this is the last time I pull your bacon out of the fire!
BroBama: financial crisis … hehehehehheheheheheheheheheh
Shrillary: piates … CAW CAW CAW CAW CAW CAW
BroBama: financial crisis … hehehehehheheheheheheheheheh
Shrillary: pirates … CAW CAW CAW CAW CAW CAW
WOW, b-cat! I thought all of Europe was gushing over BO??????? Sounds to me like they think of him the same as pretty much all of us here think of him! (Not counting Chapstick or little green moron, of course)
Read the comments section, too! LMBO!
Caption: Is it time for our cookies and milk yet?
obama : Uh do Uh you Uh want uh to uh play tag .
Hildabeast. Lets play the economy and go down the slide.
Obama: Uh but uh I um might uh skin um my uh knees.
Hildabeast: Sheesh your more of a sissy then Jimmy Carter was.
TOTUS: you both disgust me. You can both can kiss my shinny plastic ass.
Hillary: “You only used $124,000.00 of the stimulus money for this swing set? What a bargain and I’m sure a big stimulus to someone’s economy”
Barack: “Ugh, I’m sorry. Did you say something?”
He thinks it’s like Dr. Evil’s sharks with lasers beams on their heads.
“The Europeans love us again. Who do I apologize to next?”
Dagney,
Funny definition of “pretty much all of us here”.
I’ll bet you think pretty much everyone (except those Oscar voters, apparently) LOVED Ishtar.
Barack: “Why don’t you like me?”
Hillary: “Girls only like guys with skills.”
Barack: “You mean, like nunchuk skills?”
BO: NO! I’m not playing tether ball with you ANYMORE! I got hit in the head the last time! Really hard!
Hil: C’mon! I promise I won’t hit the ball so hard this time (heh heh).
This answers my comment/question about whether BO had not allowed the SEALs to intervene and free Captain Phillips.
“Animals that were formerly self-sufficient are now showing signs of belonging to the Dimocratic Party… as they have apparently learned to just sit and wait for the government to step in and provide for their care and sustenance. This photo is of a Democrat black bear in Montana nicknamed ‘Bearack Obama’!”
Hillary: If you don’t quit forwarding your phone every night so I get those 3:00 A.M. phone calls I’m gonna kick your a$$ …
Barry: “I’m scared, what if they give me a wedgie? Can we call it torture?”
Wouldn’t it be much funnier if he was pushing her on that ball swing, both smiling ear-to-ear?
Barack: “Hey Hil, you got a cigarette I can bum off you? I got fresh pack, but I don’t want to break it, because I’m trying to cut down.”
Hillary: “Your breath reeks!”
Hillary: “Nunchuk skills, bowhunting skills, computer hacking skills. Maybe you could bake them a cake or something.”
“I’ll show you mine, if you show me yours”
Hillary: “mine’s bigger!”
“It’s simple, Barry. We get within the vicinity of the pirates’ vessel, light the blowtorch, and you pull my finger.”
Blue Balls – Barack and Hillary:
http://thelcabroadside.wordpress.com/
Barry to Hillary: I bow to you!
Obama: “I don’t know what to do with Joe.”
Hillary: “Slip some of this in his drink.”
Ewww! I just vomited a little in my mouth.
Regarding pirates…his hands are tied. It doesn’t matter if the piracy happened off the coast of Africa, or Indonesia, he will not involve himself overtly. He cannot. His image amongst “his people” is more important to him, than the sovereignty of the United States, as he has proven recently.
He cannot be seen taking aggressive action against black Africans, nor pirates/terrorists of the Muslim faith. To do so, he would risk being the first American President to have a fatwah issued against him.
Should that happen, he would be forced to choose: his “people,” his former “religion,” or his politics. This would show his cowardice, and jeopardize his efforts to consolidate power for world dominion.
Playground Strategy Session:
BHO: If the ransom is paid, you think we could cut a deal and funnel some of the proceeds to ACORN?
Hillary: Wouldn’t you rather give them amnesty and citizenship so they could come over here, vote for us and get a ‘make-work’ government job? That way they satisfy their ‘jones’ for stealing (from the tax payers). It’s win-win!
right_on, you may be right but if this turns out badly for the US and he looks weak, I think it will significantly damage his presidency – moreso than anything else that has happened.
Because this can NOT be blamed on Bush – at least that any serious or semi-serious person would believe.
Obama: God Hill, I wish I was a kid again, and going where I’ve never been.
Hillary: Don’t worry Bam, I’ll divert some flak…just play along with me.
Do you think I should call in sick today? Do I have any sick days left?
While I agree to some extent that it is good that he (and I assume this) is handling it quietly, he’s gotta say something sooner or later
Hillary: “Mr. President, don’t make any comment until this is over. Yes, that’s it, don’t say anything until you know how the script turns out. This way you can make a decisive and forceful statement in hindsight.”
Obama: “You’re brilliant Hillary.”
Hillary: “Give me your F*$%# lunch money you spineless punk”
BHO: What do think about me asking one of them if they’re interested in, ahhh, maybe helping out, ahhhhh, Tim over at the Treasury? They seem to know something about, ahhhh, high finance and they don’t back down when even when things looks bleak. I need them for ahhhh ahhhh better image and besides, it would dovetail with my immigration agenda.
Hillary: Well hell yes Barrack and we can also be certain that nobody will dig up any dirt on them not paying their taxes! Sounds like a plan!
So we are agreed. After nap time I will call on Johnny Depp to negotiate with the pirates
And that would be a bad thing, because…?
Hey USN RET! What’s your take on the captain jumping overboard last night? Would you be inclined to think that maybe he did it hoping that it would give the Navy the opportunity to send these bastards back to hell?
mental pictures..excuse my while I hurl!
Dances #76
The captain did all he could do last night, unfortunately, he didn’t get the memo the Navy had been told to stand down – & oh yea, let the FBI negotiate? Still having a hard time digesting that one.
Barry better pray this works and doesn’t get the captain killed.
Let’s face it, life is just a playground for these two.
It looks like Hildebeast is trying to Hypnotize him or un hypnotize him….
Latest information says the pirates friends are now enroute to the site using other captured ships with some of their hostages onboard in an effort to support the ones in the lifeboat with the captain …
Obama: “I can’t believe it – an Englishman called me a pantywaist!”
Hillary: “There, there, don’t cry…”
That’s quite an uptick he got from leaving the country. Now that he’s back, it’s headed down again.
Hillary: Really, pull my finger.
To quote Peter Jennings: “the President and his response to this is also part of the psychological package because the country looks to the President on occasions like this to be reassuring to the nation. Some Presidents do it well, some Presidents don’t.”
Is he smoking in that pic?
The only “ball” in Washington is blue and hangin on a string behind Hillary.
Odopey: Hil, you’re a lot scarier up close.
Hildebeast: You should see me naked.
right_on (#75) – it would be a good thing in that it would harm his presidency but I hate to see an American pay with his life for it.
That Table must be anchored or she would launch him further than a Korean rocket.
Arrrgh. Agreed. We have an accord! Set sail, me hearties. What, our mainsail is gone? Hillary, let me borrow your pants.
“So what are we going to do with all these playgrounds across the USA once we abort/exterminate all the children?”
Obama: I really don’t know what I’m doing.
Hillary: I know. But look, you play dead, along with those in line, then I slide in on the throne and we get it done!
“I shoulda let you win…”
Obama: “Hillary, thank you for inviting me here so I could get away from all the pressure for a while”
Hillary: “My pleasure Mr. President. This is my favorite park. Vince Foster and I used to come here all the time.”
“How can we turn this pirate thing into our favor, and make it last for 2012??
