Cool. I wasn’t aware the White House had a hallucinatorium.

THIS IS PROOF THAT SOUZA IS A VAMPYRICAL PHOTOG AND VOODOO IS ALIVE AND WELL IN THE WHITEHOUSE.

Hopey needs a lesson in personal space.

Whoever decorated that room needs to be slapped although I suspect that they might enjoy a good beating.

Ah, good, I’ve been waiting for a Terry Gilliam remake of “Dave.”

Redhead August 20, 2009 at 10:04 am

Wait, now, just a minute.
I thought it was ghosts whose reflection didn’t show up in the mirror. Are you sure it’s vampires? And wouldn’t the photog’s camera still have shown up, kinda floating in mid-air?

Must be Grandmommy Obama’s voodoo santeria chickenblood spells again! Now even the CAMERA’S a ghost-vampire-witch!

New Wave Phlebotomist August 20, 2009 at 10:04 am

That photo seems excessively tall.

Hey! Somebody ate all the peaches!

Vampire? Oh, great, now all the teenage girls are going to come here and argue about which New Moon trailer is the sexiest.

grendel August 20, 2009 at 10:07 am

Where do I get a vampire camera that doesn’t show up either? How does one go about making vampire items? I’d like it if my AR-15 didn’t show up on camera… That’d infuriate the MSNBC!

That photo speaks to me deeply on a metaphoric level. Unfortunately, I don’t know what metaphor it’s trying to communicate.

FreshCliches August 20, 2009 at 10:15 am

Still more aesthetically pleasing than the Carville/Matalin home.

Capitol Hillbilly August 20, 2009 at 10:15 am

The time has come, Obama said, to talk of many things.

Bypartizoa August 20, 2009 at 10:23 am

Sort of has a voyeuristic, Kubrick sort of feel to it.

finallyhappy August 20, 2009 at 10:25 am

If the furniture was covered in plastic, I could swear they were in my aunt’s apartment in Philadelphia- except she is dead. Maybe they are there but it is a different dimension. And why are they drinking out of different glasses? And where are the apples that are required to be in every room? I think this proves the zombie vampire muslin theory.

Why call it Alice in Wonderland? Why not I Ate a Bunch of Fuckin’ Shrooms and Was Tripping Balls?

I see. One is much less poetic.

slithytoves August 20, 2009 at 10:33 am

DO you know how long I’ve waited for this post?

trickyrick August 20, 2009 at 10:33 am

What? Obama is breaking all kinds of protocol. Where are the matching armchairs? The flower arrangement? god, the mind boggle of French wallpaper..

AngryBlakGuy August 20, 2009 at 10:35 am

…what; no plastic wrap on the sofa or bowl of petrified butter-scotch candy on the coffee table!?!?

Who did you expect to meet?

P Drizzle August 20, 2009 at 11:21 am

We now know that the Dharma Initiative is behind Obama’s plans to destroy America with muslim voodoo and time travel. Martha’s Vineyard is obv code for The Island.

LuLu, you say Gates will be up from Ground Zero asking for for that vorpal blade weapons system supplemental for FY2012?

President of Spades? Not my POTUS. Wonk off you have crossed the line. I am emailing $PLC fur sure.

Extemporanus August 20, 2009 at 12:57 pm

So, if President Obama met with Dr. Pierre Chang, then he must be aware of the DHARMA Initiative. If he’s aware of the DHARMA Initiative, then he must be familiar with the island. If he’s familiar with the island, then he must be…

OMGOMGOMG!!1!

Somebody call Dr. Orly Taitz!

Obama DID go back in time to forge his Hawaiian birth certificate and birth announcements! Or even worse, OBAMA IS THE SMOKE MONSTER!!

ladymacbeth August 20, 2009 at 1:09 pm

isn’t the white house CONSTANTLY being redecorated? and they still end up with apricot / mustard fringe pillows and regencey infused bird / plant wallpaper?

we need a birther to redecorate and remind us of our freedoms and constitution.

P Drizzle August 20, 2009 at 1:42 pm

[re=391517]Extemporanus[/re]: I really thought somebody else would pick up on that. Mmmph.

Extemporanus August 20, 2009 at 2:03 pm

[re=391588]P Drizzle[/re]: Sorry for tripping on your coattails, P-to-the-D.

I have no idea how the hell I missed your comment. I read ‘em all, and even did a word search for Dharma! Either I spelled it wrong, or, or…

You’re with DHARMA and went back in time to post that comment?! Oh SHIT! Please don’t tell Ben!

You know the ornate sideboard in that room is filled with opium pipes and absinthe.

desertwind August 20, 2009 at 2:52 pm

Ha ha! We thought for sure that had to be in some foreign city. Like Prague or the Kremlin.

Or an upscale opium den.

desertwind August 20, 2009 at 2:55 pm

[re=391675]Moleman v2.5[/re]: Dang. How embarrassing. I swear I didn’t read your (much better written) post!

WickedWitch August 20, 2009 at 4:32 pm

More proof that our exalted leader is no murrkin — that furniture there is French!

I can’t vouch for the wallpaper though — that shit is ugly.

bokonon August 20, 2009 at 5:19 pm

Hey! Look carefully at the fireplace mantel in the mirror, you can see the decorative nesting dolls available at: http://www.nestingdolls.net/matr.pg5.html

I think it’s the Bill, Monica, and Hillary set … but not sure …

Moleman v2.5 August 20, 2009 at 7:28 pm

[re=391731]desertwind[/re]: No worries, sometimes it takes a long time for replies to show up.

What other theme rooms do they have in the White House these days? RenFair? Tomorrowland? Kennebunkport (just for fun)?

desertwind August 20, 2009 at 8:04 pm

[re=392046]Moleman v2.5[/re]: Alas and alack, this is actually not in the White House. Would it not be fabulous if it were! That hoity-toity Blair House must be a trip and a half.

Buttery1000 August 20, 2009 at 10:00 pm

[re=391517]Extemporanus[/re]: Obama met with PF Chang? Did he ask him why his food is overpriced?

Bruno August 24, 2009 at 7:49 am

If some Arab state hasn’t given the white house a golden shisha yet, they better get on it. This will be the true guide to the peace process.
