The news has been filled lately with discussions on Congress having to raise the debt ceiling because apparently they’ve already spent money that was allocated to things like Social Security and Medicare. (Don’t get me started on that!) Anyway, occasionally I post a caption contest that opens the door to political humor, satire, and parody, to look at such things from a lighter side, and this is another of those times.
In this photo, President Barack Obama is sitting around an executive-style table with a number of other well-dressed people (probably politicians), and Obama looks frustrated. I don’t know what’s really going on, so just make up something. Feel free to rant about politics, but please phrase your rant in the form of humor. And keep it civil and clean.

Obama: “Why do these Republicans keep talking about reducing deficits?!? That just ain’t how I roll!”
Beppo
Ahhhh, we have sort of a problem here… Congress is spending money they don’t have. So, um, yeeaaahh, if you could just go ahead and make sure you don’t do that from now on that would be great.
Obama: “Why do people care about balancing the budget? Congress hasn’t done it for 40+ years and now it’s a big deal?”

Politicians in Room: Okay, let’s talk about…
Obama: Can’t….hold…it…in…much…longer! Oh why did I eat mexican food at lunch?!

Obama: “If only Thomas Wayne was here, he would know what to do…”

If I had a nickel for every time Obama has hurt the economy…
Mr. Destructo
My personal hypothesis? Obama is trying to run the economy into the ground so we will have to join a global version of the E.U. or U.N. You heard it here first. Evidence pending.
(Of course, when I take over the world, all that won’t matter none because we’ll use my system of leadership. But until then, feel free to worry about the current state of affairs.)

Obama: “How long will this debate go??? I’ve gotta get away from these people so I can rip one!”

Obama (crying): if you won’t play my way I’ll just take my toys and go home. Wahhh wahhh!
Beppo
I’ll take partisan politics for $1000, Alex.

Obama: I knew I should’ve worn my “oops I crapped my pants” drawers today.
Crappo the Clown
Can you figure out which of these people just crapped their pants?
Crappo the Clown
Obviously the guy nearest the camera just leaned over and ripped one.

Guy with green tie: “In case you haven’t guessed yet, there’s been a lot of crap going on. And I’m not talking about flatulence. I’m talking about the hard stuff, and a lot of it. I’ve been trying to find out who’s behind it. It hasn’t been easy. I don’t shower much.”
Obama: “Did someone really vote for this guy???”

The misinformation on this site is really approaching legendary proportions.

[Obama] “Is it bigger!?!”
[Biden] “I don’t think it is”
[Obama]: *sigh of relief*
[Pelosi] “Told you so”
[Barney Frank] “This new Obama Care is awesome, But i’d better check Barrack myself to see if he has breast cancer too”
