A Flickr of Hope

By Doug Powers  •  April 29, 2009 11:07 AM

The White House has an official photo page at Flickr.

Why am I guessing that the “open comments” feature will soon be disabled?

While we’re at it, since the White House Flickr page is a “caption this photo” rich environment, we should be able to get a little fun out of this picture of Obama and Biden trying out “green” technology:


Or this one: What’s Bill saying to Rahm Emanuel?

    No no. Only they make silly platitudes like saying they are giving up golf to be in solidarity with families of dead soldiers. And then go golfing two months later.

    “Did it. Did it. Did it twice. Did it. Just over the clothes. Did it…Hey, Rahm, how old are your daughter’s again?

    Where the hell is that hole? Both Biden and Obama are on the same line but they are aiming into opposite directions. How about the “Blind leading the blind.”
    Another caption may be “3 blind mice”, since there appear to be 3 golfers on the green and 3 golf balls in view.

    About Bill talking, he might be inquiring about the new interns. I doubt there is much else on his mind.

    Uhhh, have you ever been on a practice putting green? Multiple holes spread out over the green.

    I was checking some of the comments of the Flickr photos. The comments are overwhelmingly positive or neutral. I find the absence of negative or critical comments questionable. Which leads me to this question… isn’t the omission of negative comments government censorship? I mean, it is one thing for a private website (such as this) to delete whatever comments they choose. Michelle Malkin’s website is her own domain and can do whatever she wants with it… but an “official White House website” is owned by the people. I expect racist, hateful and threatening comments to be deleted… but I find it odd that I haven’t seen any truly critical comments on the Flickr photos.

    Anyone think I am wrong on this?
