Picture of the Day
posted at 1:00 pm on January 3, 2010 by Ed Morrissey
Via Glenn Reynolds, the White House actually published this on their Flickr page:
A close-up of Barack Obama’s face suggests that the stern body language of the President towards his VP isn’t a fluke:
I’m sure that all is well between the two, and that this is just a fluke of photography. After all, what has Biden done that could have irritated his boss? Er, for that matter, what exactly has Biden done at all? Could Obama be annoyed that Biden has yet to do anything for Obama, or is the President just “messing with Joe”?
In any case, why not have a little fun with this? Add your caption in the comments!

You acted stupidly, Little Joe.

I’m sorry but I’m afraid that I’ve lost my ability to see the humor in this man.
That is the condescending, preening, narcissistic countenance that he shows all of us each and every day.

Joe, you better bring the White House silver back. Someone might find out.

President Obama believes himself to be the smartest man in the world and yet he had to put this buffoon on his ticket for gravitas. I’m sure the mere presence of a advice offering Biden is enough to create that facial expression and body language.

Why do people like Obama?? Why do people think he’s a nice, cool guy?!
I see arrogance, narcissism, frustration, coldness. Not just in this picture.
The guy is pure evil.

Hummer53 on January 3, 2010 at 1:28 PM
I prefer the full size shot; it covers a multitude. Most notably the smug look on Obowma’s face, but also his arms crossed as feeling defensive. And Biden?
“Yes, Mr. President. But while he only gets a tingle up his leg from afar, I always feel need to put my hands in my pockets when I’m near you.”
Liam on January 3, 2010 at 1:28 PM
Biden: “Hey Boss! Blah, Blah, Blah, Yadda, Yadda….”
Obama: OMFG, he just doesn’t shut up. Can’t look at my watch. Where’s Michelle? When is this shindig supposed to start? Maybe I could tell him I need to go to the little boys room – nah, he’ll just follow me in.
JeffWeimer on January 3, 2010 at 1:28 PM
I’m actually impressed for once by this bafoon. He’s sleeping with his eyes open. He is married to Michelle after all.

Biden: Lord Obama, this is an unexpected pleasure. We are honored by your presence -
Darth Obama: You may dispense with the pleasantries, Commander. I’m here to put you back on schedule.
Biden: I assure you, Lord Obama. My men are working as fast as they can.
Darth Obama: Perhaps I can find new ways to motivate them.
Biden: I tell you, this station will be operational as planned.
Darth Obama: The emperor does not share your optimistic appraisal of the situation.
Biden: But, he asks the impossible. I need more men!
Darth Obama: Then perhaps you can tell him when he arrives.
Biden: The Emperor’s coming here?
Darth Obama: That is correct, Vice President. And, he is most displeased with your apparent lack of progress.
Biden: We shall double our efforts!
Darth Obama: I hope so, Vice President, for your sake. The Emperor is not as forgiving as I am.

Maybe because he was thinking of this…
