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!

“C’mon Barak, its just a birth certificate.. whats the big deal? Its just that, you know, it kind of makes it look like you’ve go something to hide…”
PaulMorphy on January 3, 2010 at 1:36 PM
Damn. I coulda chosen some guy with balls as big as Cheney’s and I choose this eunuch.

Obama: If I don’t make it back, you’re the only hope for the Alliance.
Biden: Barry, don’t talk that way. You have a power I don’t understand and could never have.
Obama: You’re wrong, Joe. You have that power too. In time you’ll learn to use it as I have. The Force runs strong in my family. My father has it. I have it. And… my Vice President has it. Yes. It’s you, Joe.
Biden: I know. Somehow, I’ve always known.

Joe: “Did you get all dressed up to take me to a dinner and a movie?”
Obungle: “What?”
Joe: “Are you going to take me to dinner and a movie?”
Obungle: “Why would I do that, Joe?”
Joe: “I think it would be the polite thing to do to when YOU ARE TRYING TO DO SEX TO ME!”
Left Coast Right Mind on January 3, 2010 at 1:37 PM
Obama’s gotta make sure Joe doesn’t make a beeline for the liquor in the bucket behind him.
Joe sober = embarrassing enough
Joe drunk = more Villages YouTube videos

“Listen up, Schmoe-Joe! As soon as fan-dancer Nancy gets off the stage, and they clean up the vomit, we go in strong with the ol’ razzle-dazzle. And if your lame ass is a beat behind tonight, I’m leaving your ass right here in Poughkeepsie.”

Your tie is crooked…not up to the standards of my administration.

GoldenEagle4444 on January 3, 2010 at 1:38 PM
I am 99% sure that his arrogance kept him from putting Hillary on the ticket just to prove that he could win without her, but she will be his VP in 2012. Just to give her a chance for her dream. Joe will “decide” that he needs to spend more time with his family and has given most of his life to public service and must retire. Will not be an easy ticket to beat in 2012 which is why they don’t see losing in 2010 as a big deal.

Joe I want you to seduce Sarah Palin – go up there and nail this thing down for us – I’ll have a White House film crew hidden in the next room – use the Wasillia Motel 6 – we get a discount there already. And Joe, while you are doing Sarah at the motel, make sure you have Rush Limbaugh blaring on the radio! Once we have the tape, our friends over at CNN, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, ABC and the Food Channel will run this damn thing 24/7. Joe – you are the MAN for this job. Remember, this is National Security – you either do this – or we’ll all be looking for new jobs. Allah bless you Joe!

“Time for the roundups to begin, Joe.”

Biden: I could ask you the same question!

Joe Biden: Rise my friend.
Darth Barry: The Death Panel will be completed on schedule.
Joe Biden: You’ve done well, Lord Barry. And now I sense you wish to continue your search for young Skywalker.
Darth Barry: Yes, my Master.
Joe Biden: Patience my friend. In time he will seek *you* out, and when he does, you must bring him before me. He has grown strong. Only together can we turn him to the Dark Side of the Force.
Darth Barry: As you wish.
Joe Biden: Everything is proceeding as I have foreseen.
portlandon on January 3, 2010 at 1:42 PM
No Joe! Jobs is not a three letter word..Oh Yeah Barry you still don’t know how to create one……or save ..one…er…

LEBA on January 3, 2010 at 1:52 PM
Wow, look at that body language!
Look at 0bama – jaw clenched in contempt, body pointed away from Biden, arms crossed locking him out, head tilted back and away from him. Clearly 0bama has nothing but contempt, edging into disgust, for Biden, and has zero interest in anything he says, zero tolerance for even being in his presence. Hell, it looks like he’s getting ready to spit on Biden.
Good thing Biden is too dumb to notice.
Rebar on January 3, 2010 at 1:52 PM
No Joe, you’re not gonna get a stinkin’ raise just because your prediction last year that an international crisis would test my mettle and my weak & inept response would make the world question whether I knew wtf I was doing came true.

Biden: “I’m sorry boss. I won’t do it again. I swear I won’t!”
Obama: “Good. My patience with you has worn thin. Don’t forget the only reason I chose you was to get the white Catholic vote and you can easily be replaced.
Biden: “The Villages! America’s friendliest home town…hic…”

Joe: What.? You kiddin me? You know what? Youre 100% alright!
Barry: That’s too much. You’re doing fine..just chill out.
