Where on earth did you get that picture!? If that's a photoshop, it's a spectacular job. If it's not, he's a blooming idiot. But we already knew that.

#1 - Posted by: Ernie Loco on March 3, 2008 09:58 AM

Hello? Hello?
Speak up when you're talking to the President. I can barely hear you!

#2 - Posted by: Thunder Pig on March 3, 2008 09:58 AM


Italics off?

And I too want to know where you got that pic.

"Fidel, old buddy! How are you feeling? You sound weak."

#4 - Posted by: DamnCat on March 3, 2008 10:30 AM

This is clearly an old photograph. That is why the person next to The Audacious Hoper is sitting on the floor -- it's from kindergarten, and that's just a play phone. Didn't you ever just play phone, for fun? I know I did. Ah, all those Sunday mornings when the other philosopher's kids were watching Firing Line reruns, and there was young Socrates, playing phone. But I must stop, or grow overly emotional, wistful over times past.

An intrusive inference, if I may be so bold, is that as a child your play time was too structured, lacking exposure to such things as playing phone or pretending to be a Somali Warlord.

Yes, this would explain a great deal, a great deal indeed.

#5 - Posted by: Snarkrates on March 3, 2008 11:01 AM

In the words of Homer Simpson, "Sweet merciful crap". I sure hope that is photoshopped. If it isn't, that's worse than Dukakis in the tank and Kerry in the bunny suit combined. I'd even throw in Carter fighting the killer rabbit and there would still be room to spare.

The fact that the clock says that it's 3:00 straight up makes me think photoshop.

#6 - Posted by: cptnmoroni on March 3, 2008 11:35 AM

Of course it's a Photoshop! And the person who did it made a very simple mistake. All great photoshops take a real picture and just change one crucial element.

This person did that, but didn't quite make it look real enough. Do you see which one? YES, the TELEVISION! Imagine, a TV with no cables running out the back! Sheeeeesh!

#7 - Posted by: FormerHostage on March 3, 2008 11:39 AM

See, see!!!! He's just a regular guy. He answers his own phone and everything. He's just like us so he'll do what we would do. He is the messiah, a man for all time, a man for all seasons, a man.....

He's sitting in a almost empty office, taking on a phone that probably is about 15 years old. This tells me that either the photo is staged or that it's old. Show me a picture of him now on his cell phone or Blackberry or lap top. If he uses none of these technological marvels than he is techno- illiterate and should not be trusted with the future of this country.

Hey Hussien "Can you hear me now?"

#8 - Posted by: seanmahair on March 3, 2008 11:44 AM

The prank caller on the line was very upset that he couldn't get an answer to his "Prince Albert in a can" question.

#9 - Posted by: MJ on March 3, 2008 12:01 PM

Definitely showing too much chicken leg beneath the pant cuff to be a muslim.

#10 - Posted by: CraigO on March 3, 2008 12:34 PM

I'm disturbed by that person sitting on the floor on the left. WHAT was happening before the phone rang?

#11 - Posted by: Jimmy on March 3, 2008 12:36 PM

In actuality he was calling Harvard to bully them into this new
idiocy

I have to say as a Christian I have seen the removal of prayer from schools, athletic events, government functions, the removal of copies of the Ten Commandments (not suggestions btw) from the halls of justice. I have seen the degradation showered upon believers by left wing fanatics and their liberal lapdogs in Hollyweird as well as those in the media.

I have also see the destruction in the name of equality of private clubs for men (not those kind, duh) because women weren't allowed inside and BUSINESS was being conducted there. This extended to Athletic Clubs as well as fraternal organizations who spent time and money to protect themselves from those who must be "included"

Now in the name of ONE religion men attending Harvard, most of whom are at least partially paying their way can not use a gym during it's functioning hours.

Somebody needs to sue. Hey, y'all, you've got a butt load of lawyers out there. Get busy.

Sorry it didn't take I'll try again.

Apparently as junior senator from Illinois, Obama ranked very low in the Office Furniture heirarchy.

#16 - Posted by: Bigfoot on March 3, 2008 01:17 PM

Am I the only one to catch the fact that B. Hussein is talking into the wrong end of the receiver? That fact makes this fauxto even funnier!

#17 - Posted by: Sondiehl on March 3, 2008 01:18 PM

Thanks for the wallpaper! You made my day.

#18 - Posted by: samantha'smom on March 3, 2008 01:32 PM

#17: No. That's an Obamaphone. That's the way they work. What's going in his free ear comes out the other into the phone. Plus speaking directly into the earpiece means he"s talking directly to the person on the other end.

#19 - Posted by: Jimmy on March 3, 2008 01:39 PM

Hello Pokimon?? I gotta catch you all!

#20 - Posted by: Dash on March 3, 2008 01:39 PM

This is 3 a.m.? Nice pajamas!

[He wanted to look nice for the phone call. -Ed.]

#21 - Posted by: DanThePainter on March 3, 2008 01:53 PM

The person on the floor is probably Michelle. Perhaps he was... taking her temperature...

What innuendo? Y'all are a bunch of sickos.

#22 - Posted by: AlanABQ on March 3, 2008 02:08 PM

Give me your chair, I need some place to put this phone.

#23 - Posted by: Dave in Texas on March 3, 2008 02:21 PM

Re: #7 The TV cables could very easily be behnd the set where they can't be seen. Like most people who are enthralled by his orations, you only see and hear what you want to see or hear.

Sheesh, get real.

#24 - Posted by: mghirsch on March 3, 2008 02:30 PM

I guess since Barry O is such a hipster, he doesn't know how to use anything but an iPhone or his Razr.

#25 - Posted by: eddiebear on March 3, 2008 02:42 PM

It's a great photo for a Obamaburger:

Talking on phoan
Ur doing it wrong!

(I also linked to this post. Great stuff.)

#26 - Posted by: K T Cat on March 3, 2008 03:00 PM

Yea, General...I'm going to have to get back to you on that - cuz...uh...Michelle's using the Oval Office. She said she'd be done in about an hour....Okey dokey, I'll call you!

#27 - Posted by: eeyore on March 3, 2008 03:15 PM

Upside down huh?

Hey, those flags are wrinkled... did he just buy them (twice as patriotic)? Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do to make Omarosa Obama proud of her country.

Is that Zum Zum water on the carpet?

What's in the backpack behind the chair?

Why isn't the phone on the desk... and why isn't it cordless!

What a minute... Jesus died at 3.

And... gulp, he's wearing a white shirt... covered by black (same with the rectangle reflection on the tv, or is it...).

Hey, is that Rezko's (cough), I mean Auchi or Alsammerae's hand on the left? I mean, who else would sit on the floor... think about it. Wait, I forgot he was the ummm... Mahdi... no... Messiah, so of course someone would sit at his feet... but touch him not!

Hey, what's that under the desk back there... it's not the bottom of the chair, too far right.

I think I need magnification... is he reading the sermon on the mount (not the Islam version)?

And for the love of Viggo Mortensen, is he left handed?

Kidding.

#28 - Posted by: Ali on March 3, 2008 03:18 PM

CALLER: Yes, this is Pockistan. We are having many problems with the Tolleybon. Con you bomb them now please?
BARACK: Yes, we con!

#29 - Posted by: CK MacLeod on March 3, 2008 03:42 PM

Now, look carefully at the photo again.

His shoes must be a size 18 AAA. And his pants look like he's ready to wade outside in a small flood. High waders. The guy needs a tailor, a shrink, a real phone and a new place to play at that hour.

#30 - Posted by: Jimmy on March 3, 2008 03:48 PM

I just figured out the "change" he is always talking about. This change is going to revolutionize the telecommunications industry. We'll be asking ourselves why we haven't been doing it this way all along...

Wonder what it looks like when Hillary answers the phone at 3am?

Also, anyone catch Hannity's America this week where he got the DNC strategist to answer "Well I guess he is." when Hannity asked him if Barack was friends with a terrorist. (Weather Underground)

#31 - Posted by: CraigO on March 3, 2008 04:06 PM

CALLER: We are unable to hear you. You con bomb the Tolleybon?
BARACK: Yes we con!
CALLER: Hello?
BARACK: Yes we con! Yes we con! Yes we con!

#32 - Posted by: CK MacLeod on March 3, 2008 04:19 PM

AP needs to hire you to handle their photoshop needs. Maybe they'll get away with it for once.

#33 - Posted by: Fanderbiles on March 3, 2008 04:33 PM

I sure HOPE he knows how to CHANGE how he holds a phone! hehe

#34 - Posted by: matt on March 3, 2008 04:36 PM

Wonder what it looks like when Hillary answers the phone at 3am?

Do you really wanna know? She's unbearable to look upon during the day...

Besides, Hillary making or answering a long distance call has nothing to do with technology; just a large pentagram on the floor, a ouiga board & some candles.

#35 - Posted by: AlanABQ on March 3, 2008 05:23 PM

...So its minus 5 hours for universal time? ... then what do I set my VCR time to? .... DVD?! Damn it!... I don't want to miss Mr. Rodgers Neigborhood again for another freeking meeting...

#36 - Posted by: Jeff Smathers on March 3, 2008 05:37 PM

This is too funny. I could tell the clock was photoshop but whoever did the cord turn around is darn good!

#37 - Posted by: katablog on March 3, 2008 05:53 PM

All I can say is that the call coming in at 3:00 better not be a Bill rape victim! Hillary will definitely send the nukes in on that!

#38 - Posted by: beaniehampton on March 3, 2008 08:35 PM

Speaking of Hillary and the 3AM crisis...

#39 - Posted by: xformed on March 3, 2008 09:15 PM

All you have to do is take the shot, then photoshop in the face.

#40 - Posted by: on March 3, 2008 09:51 PM


What's with the hand under the desk ? ? ?

#41 - Posted by: JPW on March 3, 2008 10:18 PM

And this is how he can say "I never heard Mr. Rezko make any kind of inappropriate business offering to me" with a straight face.

#42 - Posted by: dm60462 on March 3, 2008 11:27 PM

It would be funnier if any of you "smart folks" could spell worth a damn. You're college graduates? Mmmkay!

I hope you move out when Obama wins. Talk about the CHANGE we HOPE for.

Man... what did I get my penis stuck in this time...

#43 - Posted by: youfuckwits on March 4, 2008 12:20 AM

Hello, is this Mr. George Bush? Is your refrigerator running..?

#44 - Posted by: NeoCon_1 on March 4, 2008 01:01 AM

Do you want fries with that?

#45 - Posted by: Jeff on March 4, 2008 01:32 AM

"It would be funnier if any of you "smart folks" could spell worth a damn. You're college graduates?"

It's not particularly funny that you're unaware that spelling ability is no indication of intelligence.

#46 - Posted by: DrZin on March 4, 2008 04:22 AM

Ve haf vays of making you spell.

#47 - Posted by: Spelling Nazi on March 4, 2008 05:34 AM

Great, great photoshop. Certainly in the running for best Obama photoshop ever. Darlene Click at proteinwisdom and slublog at ace of spades have posted some really good ones too. I hope all the great political photoshops are gathered together in one place someday. And a puppy.

#48 - Posted by: klrtz1 on March 4, 2008 05:41 AM

You're college graduates? Mmmkay!

And what super awesome lexicon is the word "Mmmkay" from?
Oh right; it's from the television, where your education comes from! "Clown College" doesn't actually count as higher education... that's my service announcement to you.

And you're welcome!


(Just so you know, Mr. Mackey from 'South Park' isn't a real educator. Granted, as an animated character from a cartoon, he's better qualified than most "teachers" in the public schools; at least he addresses the kids individually...

But thanks for stopping by. We hope your first taste of realism is better than "Pizza Wednesday" in the government school cafeterias.)

#49 - Posted by: AlanABQ on March 4, 2008 06:08 AM

Look at the size of those feet, it would take of the national budget to keep him shoes and socks.

#50 - Posted by: Michael Wilkes on March 4, 2008 06:25 AM

The photoshopping is good but there are some pixels showing the cord was originally on the bottom of the receiver. Very funny though. You would hope moveon.org or Dan Rather would post this since it is fake. They are gullible enough to insist it is real.

#51 - Posted by: Jerry on March 4, 2008 07:43 AM

Oprah is that you? what? turn the phone around oh wow this works so much better, you really are as smart as you tell me.

#52 - Posted by: Jimbo on March 4, 2008 08:26 AM

Here is a link to the Hannity Hotseat interview I mentioned earlier:

link

Watch just the last minute of the video if you are short on time.

Hannity: [Obama] "...friends with a terrorist?"
Democratic Strategist Jaques Degraff: "Evidently he is."

Hillarious.

#53 - Posted by: CraigO on March 4, 2008 09:25 AM

Uh-O-bama...!?!? As the heat of a thousand suns descends on Washington DC. LA, NYC, Chicago,Miami....

#54 - Posted by: Semper Fi on March 4, 2008 10:49 AM

Obama is going to CHANGE the way phones work. Yes, we can. We are going to move this nation be-YOND the divisions of earpiece and mouthpiece, receiver and transmitter, microphone and speaker.... Yes, we can.

#55 - Posted by: Pauli on March 4, 2008 11:16 AM

What a beautiful find! I love this picture. It puts another chink in the man's armor.

Hey, and I found this was a link on Little Green Footballs. Good stuff.

Cut the guy some slack. He does have a US flag beside him (Mind you, it does look a bit creased).
