Guess what your Barack Obama picked up in South America? Oh nothing, just a tae kwon do black belt given to him by South Korean President Lee Myung-bak, also a black belt. Barry posed for exactly one (1) photo in which he curled his fingers into a loose ball and raised his arm in a vague forward gesture, and now what, we’re just supposed to suddenly find him qualified to teach our kids martial arts after school?? Someone please award the belt posthumously to Ronald Reagan. [Top of the Ticket]

Obama: How did you do that? How did you do that?
Lee Myung-bak: Don’t know. First time.
Sarah Palin doesn’t know karate, but she knows ka-razy.
I can only assume that this means he’s now fully prepared for the impending no-holds-barred deathmatch against Putin.
Please Barry, don’t hurt ‘em.
hey Wonkette person, if Obama visted South America he’d be receiving an honorary Latinofascist set of olive drabs, from Mexican Hitler. What’s with this ching-chong black belt shit?
Meh. If Walnuts had been elected president, Lee would’ve awarded him a black baby.
Black belt, eh? More proof that Hopey hates white people.
Top of the ticket is a mite dickish. Just sayin’…
Perfect time for someone to give Rethugs a tae kwon No belt.
[re=462297]mumblyjoe[/re]:
Putin will have to get him trading shots of vodka first.
This picture makes me feel like Michelle during one of their “fisting” sessions.
Speaking of Souvenirs, I knew a guy named Souvenir. He was Haitian. Obviously.
[re=462296]Noodle Salad[/re]: Thanks. Nothing like a little James Brown to get my monring going…
He may be our first Black President but he has a bad case of White Man’s Overbite.
If we could only get Lieberman on the receiving end of one those punches, I’d be tickled.
Chuck Norris is about to get some more Return of the Dragon treatment.
He’s going as Dhalsim to the next White HOuse Halloween bash.
“I’m a karate man. I bleed on the inside.”
Now he can defend himself against the Emperor of Japan rather than cringing and bowing in abject fealty to him and giving him his lunch money. /wingnut
That belt is a serious honor from Korea. A symbolic gesture of “Don’t fuck with this guy.”
In the early days of the ROK’s service in Vietnam, a ROK infantry unit made up of Taekwondo experts entered a VC occupied village and destroyed it with their hands and feet.
I give it about fifteen more minutes before Malkkkin puts up a post saying, “If one of us had given Obama a black belt, the far left would be saying it was RAAAACIST.”
Also, how long until some Villager Concern Troll asks, “But is the belt actually black enough?”
Anything for Mrs. Hopey from Kum Suk Jewelry? Yes, the place did exist when I was at Osan AFB.
That settles it, Barry is indeed the Last Dragon, Bruce Leeroy.
[re=462314]nbawriter[/re]: “But you wouldn’t know that, cuz you’re a big Barry White-lookin’ motherfucker.”
Manchu makes a good point. TKD is pretty close to a state religion in the ROK, and at the highest levels promotion has as much to do with contributions to society as it does martial arts. Still, maybe he should have beat down a few Palin/Cheney/Rove effigies to prove his mettle.
Plus, Elvis and Kareem both were black belts (not in TKD), and they never smacked a fly out of thin air in a live interview.
[re=462317]bjkeefe[/re]: Or in Malkin’s case, Evlyone’s a ritter bit lacist, amirite?
[re=462317]bjkeefe[/re]: Ffffff. Not clicking on that link. Nope, nagonnadoit.
Also: does it make me a racist if I find that photo ABSOLUTELY TERRIFYING?
I think that picture is Pres. Obama fighting the power at last night’s Public Enemy show.
This is nothing compared to the samurai sword he got from the emperor, or the iron cross from Angela Merkel.
“Black Dynamite 2″ poster: made.
[re=462297]mumblyjoe[/re]: Sadly, Judo > Taekwondo
Everybody was health care fighting
With stats that were real frightening
And doomsayers on the right wing,
So-called “experts” on FoxNews, sliming.
[re=462308]magic titty[/re]: That would be a great name! If you had it, you could run into someone you hadn’t seen for a while who’d maybe say, “I know you, but I forget your name.” You’d reply, “Souvenir.” “I’m trying, but I can’t. What is it?” “Souvenir.” (See, “souvenir” is French for “to remember.” Maybe this is only funny if you speak French. Well, anyway.)
“he curled his fingers into a loose ball and raised his arm in a vague forward gesture”
Christ, at first I thought you meant he did this:
http://photography.nationalgeographic.com/photography/photos/olympics-history-gallery/black-power-salute.html
[re=462302]freakishlystrong[/re]: Just a mite. And smarmy too.
Barry would beat zombie-Reagan’s ass any day of the week. ANY DAY WINGNUTZ.
Having staged more than my fair share of political events/photos that place a high value on sybmolism, I must humbly point out and salute the close-up, in-your-face reminder to the world that Our Fearless Leader is happily married.
Kiss the ring, bitches!
Oh, good. Now Barry can keep his pants up.
He got a mean look, him. Glad to be at Foggy Bottom, far away from his black-belted wrath.
[re=462345]Lorax[/re]: That’s his wedding ring? I assumed he had obtained possession of the One Ring.
My preznit is HAWT.
…and that was the last thing John Boehner ever saw.
The failure of free-trade negotiations apparently came down to an eleventh-hour challenge, in which President Lee Myung-Bak offered to accede to all of the U.S.’ terms, provided that Obama could seize the pebble from his palm before he closed the fingers of his hand.
People everywhere are so excited with the idea of adding a new Hopey™ doll to their collection with Kung Fu Grip!
[re=462330]mumblyjoe[/re]: No, that makes you a white grandmother.
“the rookie American president”? As opposed to the old 8th and 9th termers, or what? I feel like most presidents are new to the whole ~president of the United States~ thing
[re=462296]Noodle Salad[/re]: Doggonit, it’s not “ka-razy”, it’s “ka-razor”. Sarah Palin, just like James Brown, just wants to cut a bitch.
[re=462344]CycloneArmageddon[/re]: Unless Zombie reagan is wearing his Hai Karate, because we all know how well that shit worked.
[re=462321]Servo[/re]: That’s funny. In this podunk town we have Cun Stars. Say that 5 times fast, during the coffee fellowship after the 11:30 Methodist service.
[re=462349]Gumboz1953[/re]: If you call a few blocks down K street “far”.
[re=462377]Lascauxcaveman[/re]: Does that also explain my overwhelming urge to slowly hand that man my wallet?
am i wrong for wishing that Barry go to Fox studios and started handing out fatalities like he was in Mortal Kombat?
I knew it! He is totally Black Dynamite.
“First Lady, I’m sorry I pimp-slapped you into the china cabinet.”
Bursting into Rush’s studio and giving him an epic beatdown would make for the greatest single radio program in history.
Did they at least hook up some electrodes to his brain and drag and drop some kung-fu files? Because otherwise, NOBAMA IS RUINING THE SACREDNESS OF THE HONOR! WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR KIDS WHO WENT TO CLASS FOR LIKE 3 YEARS TO GET THIS AWARD?!?
“I know kung fu.”
[re=462371]Monsieur Grumpe[/re]: Get yours while supplies last!
[re=462537]Cape Clod[/re]: “Thanks, and I’ll take my ass kicking of you off the air.”
needs more Blingee, also.
[re=462328]Simba B[/re]: Oh, not to worry. Just a Google results page.
Enter the Muslin.
I guess I’m the only one who thinks Obama habitually looks like a turtle?
