1. Mind if I vomit now?

:puke:

[boobooday]

2. He sucks

That's all I can say.

[Bluebear]

3. Because, as usual, the day had to be all about HIM. nt

[TahitiNut]

34. It's what a pathological narcissist is about.

He should be locked up in solitary, in a padded cell for the rest of his miserable life.

[Kelvin Mace]

4. See what gay marriage leads to?

[olddad56]

18. He needed to marry his gay lover instead of his wife, he might have grown up.

[Marnieworld]

5. But he's not playing golf. Thank god he stopped playing golf

I mean, what it would it look like if the president was having so much fun during war time? :eyes:

[flvegan]

6. If nothing else, the man is consistent.

Consistently stupid and embarrassing.

[A HERETIC I AM]

7. Angela Merkel is looking at those photos and saying "See? I told you he was an idiot"

The manners and style of a Carbuncle

[TomInTib]

8. That woman's hands are bigger than his.

And she's about five feet tall.

I'll bet they rehearsed that a dozen times.

[Ichingcarpenter]

9. So these are the real Alien pictures we were Promised from Colorado?

Shockingly real and terrifying..

[miles 2 go]

10. Except for the windbag pic, his expression is the same in all photos

Ya think maybe too many meds? Can't move his face properly?

[arcadian]

17. He looks like he's drugged. There is no soul behind those eyes.

[FourScore]

23. i noticed the same thing. n/t

[Muttocracy]

11. some in the military are not amused

[Muttocracy]

12. now, which of them initiated the chest crash? why isn't secret service concerned?

[lame54]

13. I'm not asking and please don't tell

[buff2]

14. Oh Geesus.........

There goes my beef 'n noodles I just ate. :puke: What a freakin IDIOT. God,I'll be so GLAD when he is gone.

[spanone]

15. one goes off to die for his country and one goes off to 'cash in & refill his coffers'

[arcadian]

16. So obviously rehearsed.

Like that cadet would have any idea that from Bush's body language, the pResident wanted him to butt chests with him. Isn't there some kind of protocol thing? In the Chief Executive's office? The Air Force academy? A graduation ceremony? What if the Secret Service had floored that kid?

[peekaloo]

19. Air Farce dignitude

[PassingFair]

20. I'm actually surprised he didn't give them all his holy "blessings"...

this is better than him playing Benny Hinn...

[AzDar]

21. Dignified, ain't he?

:puke:

[Frisbee]

22. I think these pictures pretty much...

...sum up this assholes presidency. Everything is a fucking game with him. He doesn't realize (he's just too stupid to) that EVERYTHING he does as president as meaning and consequences. He doesn't realize that other leaders are watching and expect him to act with class and dignity. He doesn't realize that his actions have a direct effect on the lives and livelihoods of billions of people (not that he'd give a shit if he did). His being president is pretty much what you would expect from a junior high school boy, and not a very bright one at that. Are his advisers either as blind to protocol and decorum as he is? Or are they just afraid to tell him that certain things are just inappropriate? Either way, he is an disgrace and embarrassment, and the sooner he is gone the better. There are just some people who go through life never contributing anything, who only care about themselves and those closest to them, and he is just that. I doubt he has ever done a good thing in his life just because it was the right thing to do. What a useless piece of shit. Oh, and BTW, has anyone ever heard his stepford wife with the painted on smile show an ounce of remorse for having killed a person in a drunk driving accident? :mad:

[defendandprotect]

28. I think he sees breaking the rules as being "cool" --- like this behavior . . . !!!!

[Frisbee]

32. Yup...

again, like a below average junior high school student. We always hear about people who thing they're above the law, and it's obvious he believes he is. Let's just hope he's not proven right. How sweet would it be to see him frog-marched in an orange jump suit!

[Voltaire99]

24. Your tax dollars at work...

...on the military-industrial-chimp complex.

Feel "safer"?

[malaise]

25. That's as macho as he'll ever be when it comes to

military matters. Fucking stupid photo ops.

[City Lights]

26. 1.20.2009 - The end of an error.

OMFG, it can't come quickly enough! What a total dufus.

[ExPatLeftist]

27. I like that saying :)

gonna steal it... ;)

[lumberjack_jeff]

29. I avoid hearing him speak, and I avoid seeing him in photos.

Both for the same reason. I find him personally embarrassing. I have a fairly positive image of America and americans. When I think of America, I think of Jefferson, Lincoln, both Roosevelts, and Kennedy.

I think of us as fairly serious, or at a minimum, credible.

I spent 12 years as a councilperson in a one-stoplight little dinky town in ruralsville, WA. But during that time, I had lots of interactions with lots of mechanics, farmers, builders, used-car salesmen, bar-owners, loggers, paraeducators, clerks and housewives, who chose to serve their communities as elected officals.

I have never met an elected (or appointed) official, from even the most backwards burg, who is worse than our president. Okay, maybe one - the person who was appointed to a city council seat after losing the mayoral election. The reason he lost was because he told the newspaper that he was going to fire the Police Chief because his officers watched the bar that he (the candidate) frequented.

[Postman]

30. This fucker should have a net thrown over him.

n/t

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

31. Is Chimp having an orgasm in the third pic?

I mean what in the world could possibly make him hunch over and puff out his cheeks that way?

[uppityperson]

33. Oh he is SUCH a FINE MAN!! I WANt, no I KNEED his baby!!!

[TaffyMoon]

35. Seriously, WTF is Wrong With Him?

He needs a little of this:

[Monk06]

36. Tard. There is no other explanation. His brain is 8 years old.
