I feel like there's something different about that picture. Perhaps some sort of electronic recording equipment that would not work great if water was hitting it...

Christ these people are petty. I should be used to it by now, what with teleprompters, that pic of him with the book The Post-American World, vacations, golf, basketball, etc etc etc, but I'm still surprised when loving everything turns into an image macro so people can get angry. I should compile a list of petty crap they've brought up over the last 5 years and put them into one big image macro quilt and see how big it gets.

It would be a fool's errand because they would bring up petty crap faster than you could add them to the list. There are some actual, legitimate grievances people have toward the administration but by and large I never hear about any of them through the petty shitstorm.

Some more Presidents with umbrellas.







Guess it wasn't a Marine after all but oh hey, I guess Reagan did use an umbrella after all.

Republicans are so knee-jerk against everything Obama does that they are now against using umbrellas in the rain.

I posted George Bush and George HW Bush with Army holding their umbrellas on the previous page. I know Army doesn't get the same jerking off that Marines do, but they do appear to be wearing Green Berets, which elevates it back into holiness.

I heard Obama walks on the back of Marines everywhere he goes. There's a squad of 5 marines, and they continuously lay down in front of him, and when he has walked over them, they get up, and run to the front and lay down again.

And he's going to be President for 3 more years, and there's nothing anyone can do about it.

Imagine 4 Marines lying down in front of the President. Say a direct copy of the Marine nearest the President is sent to the back of the line Marines and takes the place of the first Marine. The formerly first Marine becomes the second, the second becomes the third, and the fourth gets stepped on.

I think the issue is that the people who handle these reports on facebook are situated in third world countries, and eating watermelon isn't seen as racist outside of the US.

This makes a lot of sense and is completely hilarious. It explains why sometimes a completely innocuous post gets removed due to hate speech. "Woah, I can't believe that guy thought it was okay to show someone's uncle eating a pastry. That's screwed up."

My old college buddy remains just shy of frothing at the mouth. His latest post on Facebook is a chain-letter-style cut-and-paste of this column:

http://mychal-massie.com/premium/why-i-do-not-like-the-obamas/

There's something beautiful to me about how this guy, who's apparently a WND contributor in his spare time, wants to be considered a respectable elder statesman and fearless writer of unquestionable truths, but he has no idea how to use apostrophes. The biography on his site has similar problems.
