  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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!

  4. 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?”

  5. 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.

  6. I’m disturbed by that person sitting on the floor on the left. WHAT was happening before the phone rang?
    Apparently as junior senator from Illinois, Obama ranked very low in the Office Furniture heirarchy.

  7. #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.

  8. 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.

  9. 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.

  10. 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.

  11. 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)

  12. 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.

  13. …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…

  14. “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.

  15. 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.

  16. 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.)

  17. 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.

  18. 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.
