Caption this! (Aussie rapture edition)

The official caption from this official White House photo is, well, not entirely persuasive:

We all know that you, our endlessly clever readers, can do better than that!

"Picture it, will you? A mural spanning the Capitol Rotunda dedicated to my legacy...with cherubs and rainbows and unicorns farting skittles...the whole nine yards...and Me, descending Mt.

The secret of my many successes? I raise my hand like thus, and the inspirations for creating a better world just flood over me.

Parenthetically,this is such hard work that I must vacation and play golf frequently to relieve the stress and avoid the temptation of a ciggie. I also need all the energy I can muster to crap on the US when I entertain y'all.
