At last.
What, exactly, has White House photographer Pete Souza captured in this shot? Maybe it’s after the last of the 10 dances at 10 inaugural balls. White tie, who even approved that? Anyway, here is your new president, handsome and smiling some 12 hours after he took the (first) oath of office.

This is the shot right before the hero comes in and destroys the serial-rapist-killer man in the photo, correct?

Aurelio January 26, 2009 at 1:34 am

He looks as happy as a dog with two dicks.

The person who cannot smile urbanely even when the world is falling apart is no better than the person who can do nothing else.
Nobody’s going to fault Obama for dressing up — this isn’t Jesus marching into Jerusalem, you know. I’m just glad to have a president who can smile urbanely at all, so I don’t have to look at that witless smirk anymore.

[re=228185]SayItWithWookies[/re]: Why the fuck would we elect a muslin if he wasn’t going to take jerusalem back? Wookies? I have respected you in the past. But this anti-Iranian patriotism is hurting the cause. I’m telling Dean.

[re=228188]shortsshortsshorts[/re]: He’s got George Mitchell on the case. And they were never getting Jerusalem back anyway. Good thing is, after eight years of Dumbass, they’ll be happy with a lot less.

shortsshortsshorts January 26, 2009 at 1:58 am

[re=228189]AWOcoholic[/re]: Ya bit he did it all as a citizen of the U.K. so it doesn’t count, right? Oh fuck it do we have to respect the fucking President now? Oh bloody hell. You’d think a little 3-on-3 would suffice.

Edywin January 26, 2009 at 2:05 am

What do I like about being the President of the United States? That I can fart on a elevator and nobody leaves at the next floor. See, watch…

shortsshortsshorts January 26, 2009 at 2:09 am

[re=228191]SayItWithWookies[/re]: Hahahaha that was awesome. The State Department should use that (They need suggestions now, knows?)

Today’s NY Times says DC’s bar Gibson is really cool BUT it’s a good idea to make a reservation so the doorman will let you in!!??!!

Does DC have anything resembling dive bars?

What the camera did not capture was, of course, Rahm Emanuel on his knees on the floor. Also.

hobospacejungle January 26, 2009 at 3:44 am

[re=228191]SayItWithWookies[/re]: “He’s got George Michael on the case.”

Problem solved then.

Naked Bunny with a Whip January 26, 2009 at 5:53 am

That’s fine, but I’m still hoping for nude Obama photos. Don’t care if it’s Barack or Michelle. Or Malia and Sasha for that matter.

Doktor Avalanche January 26, 2009 at 7:20 am

That, my fellow Wonketteers, is a shit-eatin’ grin.

Numbat Dundee January 26, 2009 at 8:06 am

Am I the only one who thinks he’s about to rip that face of and reveal a writhing, tentacled alien overlord beneath? The grin sort of says that to me somehow. I’m not sure WHY it says that to me. I have not experienced anyone removing their face in that way – and, not being American, have not been anally probed by an alien. We have to do that ourselves in Australia.

sarcasticusername January 26, 2009 at 9:16 am

with a goofy ass grin like that, somebody knew he was about to get laid…that or he and michelle just did it in the oval office.

emilytroutman January 26, 2009 at 9:32 am

Wow, such salacious comments. Makes me feel old fashioned for thinking he’s just happy. Guy became leader of the free world. It’s a gorgeous pic. Thanks for sharing.

How cute he can tie his own bow tie.

Eh, Bush probably can too. “Hey, Laura, come get this for me!”

nonbeliever7 January 26, 2009 at 10:58 am

I used to be disgusted.
Now I try to be amused…

Min January 26, 2009 at 11:00 am

I think I hear Barry White in the background.

Mr Blifil January 26, 2009 at 11:25 am

Something about that picture reminds me of that Agent Maxwell Smart would have looked like had he just got to bang 99.

Mr Blifil January 26, 2009 at 11:26 am

[re=228333]Darkness[/re]: Where’s your PROOF? All we can tell from that photo is that he can UNtie the tie. And he probably has some white slave who does that stuff for him, that’s how hardcore he is about reparations.

NotthatLC January 26, 2009 at 11:41 am

[re=228259]Numbat Dundee[/re]: Then I for one welcome our new a writhing, tentacled alien overlord. But seriously, what is Alex Balk on? That post gave me a contact high.

Bring Out Your Dead January 26, 2009 at 12:19 pm

So we’ve got Mitchell in Jerusalem, Holbrooke in Islamabad and Cab Calloway in the White House!

bob marvin January 26, 2009 at 12:44 pm

Michelle get up our…our floor is next!

sarahconnor January 26, 2009 at 1:05 pm

hubba hubba… but the photo in the Times of Barry in a supine position, talking phone sex on Blackberry with one hand and downloading porn in the other… HAWT.

DustBowlBlues January 26, 2009 at 1:29 pm

All I know is that he’s had almost a week to heal my Bell’s Palsy and hasn’t come through yet.

So why is he smiling? The right half of my face isn’t. Which is kind of gross.

What’s the price of a year’s subscription?

zetetic January 26, 2009 at 1:43 pm

That is an ad for Cialis, right?

sarahconnor January 26, 2009 at 2:24 pm

[re=228631]DustBowlBlues[/re]: har har har!

Actually, it’s, like, $500, but got my money worth with that one photog. it BURNS.

And i do like the black smudges it leaves on my fingers…

We all know that King Jesus Obama can do no wrong. He is the second coming, the miracle worker, the perfect politician…he is King Jesus Obama. Some of you people need to pour ice water over your heads and realize that King Jesus Obama is a man…not some kind of savior. And I am not some Obama-hating Republican. I voted for Obama. But this whole cult-of-personality that surrounds him, along with the Hollywood/media worship of him, gives me pause. I am hopeful that he will make a great president, but his start seems all style and no substance (Hillary as Secretary of State? The CNN doctor as Surgeon General? Jeeeeeeeez).
