The President's Push-Button in a Box Thingy

[Clio the Leo]

Word on the street is that he carries this thing everywhere he goes (inside the Oval anyway) and pushes it if ya, know, he needs Reggie to bring him some Nicorette.

Now, I guess it's possible that he could also use it to launch missies from Guam or something, but if indeed it's just a glorified call bell, SERIOUSLY! Get my man something cooler than that! It looks like something straight up out of 1982!










(warning, the following shows some OTHER dude sitting at President Obama's desk)



And some other dude and some other really creepy looking dude sitting at Pres. Obama's private dining table ...



And another picture of it near Bush, ya know, busy at work .... watching the TV.



And here it is on Clinton's desk....


At least now we can play "spot the push button thingy" at all future press events and photo ops.

That whole site is fairly interesting if a bit creepy. Also some info on a watch given to him by the Secret Service which, at most is a high tech communication and tracking device and, at least, a nifty time keeping device.



"President Barack Obama wears a Jorg Gray 6500 Chronograph, given to him as a birthday gift by Secret Service agents (note the SS star on the watch face). Watches may be used as tracking and panic devices."

1. He needs the Nurse & Nuke buttons Reagan had.

Well, Reagan had these two buttons in the Genesis Land of Confusion video (watch the very end of the video to see what I mean.)

2. Pelosi is giving it the hairy eyeball! Reminds me of the Ren and Stimpy episode Space Madness...

Just the urge to press that button!!!

3. DON'T PUSH IT!!!

How can she possibly resist the maddening urge to eradicate history at the mere push of a single button? The beautiful, shiny button? The jolly, candy-like button? Will she hold out, folks? Can she hold out?

4. Great recall - our favorite R&S episode and just hilarious (and weird!)

6. That button isn't the final one is it?

I mean what if someone pushes it. Clinton's was at his desk and he wasn't there. And how could a kid resist. Daddy what's this? :nuke: There must be some code to it.

8. What's the worse that could happen? Reggie comes in with a Coca Cola. NT

7. It's just a fancy Staples "easy" button.

10. lol @ "that's where you get the best reception."

That's cute.

Well, I will sleep better tonight knowing that MY President (that's right! he's all mine and I'm NOT sharing!) is the sole keep of the internets tubes ..... thingy. :)
