Here’s a caption contest to start getting things back to normal after the holidays. This picture features President Barack Obama holding a puppy in front of the Lincoln Memorial. Figure out something funny to explain what’s going on here. You can write what Obama might be thinking, or what a political analyst might say, or what an average citizen might think. Or you can just make up something really random. You can even put words in the puppy’s mouth. Just keep it clean, funny, and don’t use this as a forum for serious political rants (there are plenty of places for that).

I think that pic of Barry Wayne O’Bomber holding the dog is running off your readers, as I am the only one besides Beppo to comment on it.

You sir are no Abraham Lincoln! You’re more like Jimmy Carter on steroids.

Did someone turn on the sprinklers? And why are there sprinklers at the Lincoln Memorial? What’s going on here?

Obama is on the right. He’d be saying something if he had a teleprompter…

“See how normal I am? I love puppies, and I respect Abraham Lincoln. I’m all for America, regardless of what my actions may look like according to those right-wing extremists who refuse to print only positive news stories about me.”
