Every day is talk like a pirate day for Obama. The U.S. Treasury, funded by taxpayers, is his treasure chest, to redistribute to his fellow pirates and buccaneers. That being said, this photo is beyond belief.
Well, it is International Talk Like A Pirate Day, and the Preezy has his priorities. I’m wondering what Obama said back in pirate-talk: “I’m a redistributionist myself, you know.” Arrrggghhhh…
Openly pandering to the lowest common denominator now. He has nothing else in his bag of tricks.
“Hey – if you’re dumb and lazy, vote for me! And if you want to feel like you’re doing something for the disadvantaged in our society – don’t donate to charity. Vote for me and I’ll forcibly take your money!”
Those are his two consitutents – and his goal is to get every one of them to vote.
A very official looking White House photo of a man in a pirate costume (feathered hat, eye patch, hook, fake parrot, etc,) and a real modern day pirate (business suit).
That pirate is armed better than our embassies’ “security” details.

That is one of the Cairo embassy’s security detail. He accompanied Ambassador Anne Patterson, who left the Cairo embassy to fend for itself on 9/11 while she returned to the States. I think he lost her, and our media seem unable to tell us where she is now. Not that she’d be taking reporters’ questions under the DOJ/State Department gag order anyway.

So just a photo op between Obama and a member of the 47%?
Blowback

Is that a real photo? If so, I hope no one retweets that to Bibi.

This can’t possibly be happening…

Obama’s version of a Somali pirate…apologizing for having our ships in their water.

No time for Netanyahu.

That’s because he didn’t dress appropriately, silly.

Which one is the pirate?

Pillage and loot.
Same job, different suit.

I always wondered what Drudge would have to resort to for Obama to agree to a face-to-face.
Kataklysmic on September 19, 2012 at 5:14 PM
Good point. Actually, Obama, with his government-is-your-friend giveaways, reminds me more of this chap.

Obama in his audition for his post Presidential job as Mabel in “Pirates of Penzance” opening on Broadway January 2013.

Hey, thanks for the heads up on “Life” the other day. I checked out a couple of episodes on Netflix last night. Seems pretty solid.
Kataklysmic on September 19, 2012 at 5:17 PM
Pirates are into redistribution; Obama is likely getting some pointers. A real pirate would call him a bilge rat, though.

That’s British PM David Cameron who had to dress up like this to get through security to speak to Obama.
You should have seen what Merkel had to put on to get in.

Cabinet meeting? When did Timmy grow a beard?

If he really wanted my vote, he would have sat down with Captain Feathersword.

Going on Letterman was worse. Saying “I’m the President of ALL the people”. Pandering, opportunistic, disingenuous creep.
Paul-Cincy on September 19, 2012 at 5:28 PM
That parrot is obviously so fake. That’s probably not even a real pirate!
wcwindbag on September 19, 2012 at 5:38 PM
obama having a serious discussion… with a pirate! complete with a hook for a hand and parrot perched on shoulder.
Sachiko on September 19, 2012 at 5:53 PM
My pleasure and totally welcome. Some eps are better than others and can sometimes be repetitious, but for a Lewis fan can’t beat it.

She’s kind of cute. She might be okay in a wench costume.
