Sunday night caption contest!
The original caption for this hilarious Reuters wire photo reads "U.S. President Barack Obama in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building in the White House complex in Washington, March 23, 2009."
Seriously? That's it? One not need know more about religious symbolism than Hillary Clinton to write a better caption than that.

Joke all you want, guys, but that's probably the picture/profile that will be on the currency when Chicago hosts the Olympics in 2052, with the opening ceremonies at Barack Obama Stadium. President Sasha Obama will help to light the flame.
Of course, it might be on the $1 million bill, roughly equivalent to a C-note today.

Caption: "His Holiness Super-Pope Barack speaks to the masses" or is that to obvious?
People really need to get a grip. This all-too-human guy is not only a narcissist, he's downright dangerous.

I'm going to hold off comment, I remember how hard reporters worked to get Attorney General Ashcroft framed with "That Statue" in the background. What comes around....

As it happens, this photo looks very much like a painting showing the head of St. John the Baptist on a plate.

Who painted it?
SouthernRoots wins the thread, but do not fail to notice Perfesser Chambers' dreamy tone of voice. I am thinking there may be business opportunities here: for example, if you could just genetically engineer a new breed of potato that would grow out protubered to a likeness of The One ® , there are probably a lot of folks who would not be able to help themselves. Miracle Fries, anybody?

Just thought I'd offer a link to a bit of a juxtaposition from the last presidency. Apparently it is common for this shot to be taken, as I just came across this shot while searching 'executive power' for a presentation.

It doesn't work so well with GW though.
