"Oh shit! My dick just fell off! LOL!"
Stimulus money in action.
It was at that moment, conservative scum knew they were in serious trouble.
All right, Republicans, you wanna challenge me on the tax cuts? Bring it. I will use the Schwartz! (oh, crap, wrong movie)
"Oh my God they were right, he is an illegal alien!"
Let's see the Senate filabuster THIS!
President Obama fights off Glen Beck's Rally with his band of merry men!
Mom, I love photoshop.
Michelle Obama: "He better wipe his feet before he gets back in my house"
Ah, but you HAVE heard of me.
"What’chu Talkin’ ’bout Willis?"
Little did Obama know at the time that using the "force" was unconstitutional.
Back off you Birthers, the Force is with me!
Use the Force, Obama. Use the Force...
The force is strong with this one.
In light of Congress's vote to deny additional military funding today, President Obama unveils the new standard-issue American military sidearm.
I sure hope he uses it instead of just showing it off and talking about it.
Jesus, I'm embarassed beyond my ability to express it. That's a heartfelt comment, not a caption.
I am a jedi warrior. I need to kill America one step at a time so I can be Darth Vader. LOL
He was feeling pretty good about "Star Wars" Day at the White House, and Michelle effected an admirable Chewbacca impression -- but he shut it down quickly as soon as he learned his Jedi name was Ewok Obama.
So, would a lightsaber for the President count as discretionary or non-discretionary spending?
The Force is strong with you, young Obama-wan.
Ok, son, now watch this...wait, something's wrong...Michelle, get my toolbox...
Girl, I keep telling him and telling him... You can't find Osama Bin Laden with the force!
Chssshush ladies, behold.
I'm Obama Wan Kenobi. This is not the birth certificate you are looking for. ;)
President Obama tests the military's newest advancement in technology, mood sabers.
The Dark Lord of the Sith.
Nation's first Sith President shows off skill with Lightsaber.
In the words of the great Hans Solo, "It's not my fault" - or maybe it was Indiana Jones, either way.
"There are no red light-sabers of America, and blue light-sabers of Ameri- Oh dear..."
Alright, but Obiwan never had to deal with the Tea Party.
The President demonstrated the latest in U.S. military weapons technology.
"Get off my lawn."
"I'm not left-handed either!"
James would often regret trading his toy light saber for a Chicago 2016 t-shirt.
After he made one too many trips to the punch bowl, it became obvious that Barack would not be invited to a Pennsylvania Avenue Block Party again.
Don't mess with the Blue State Leader, Darth Boehner!
"You think you can take me, Tea Party? Bring it. C'mon...just bring it!"
President Obama wielded the lightsaber with great ferocity. He courageously cheered on his Jedi brethren, yelling "And I shall strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger..." Sadly, he broke character, insisting "Samuel L. Jackson was great in Star Wars." Then the brave child, his chest stern and pumping, stepped up beside his country's leader and started, "Um, Mr. President..."
No, John McCain! You're not my father!
Obama-Wan Kinobi.
Do, or do not...there is no try. Unless it's filibustered. Then you're screwed.
I TOLD YOU, we will end the war...when we get to it...NOW, Check out this Jedi Master Move.
Biden shot first.
"Darth Cheney, you're not getting back in here!"
Don't be so surprised. After all, we did have a Sith Lord for vice president for 8 whole years.
En garde mutha fucka!
Shhhh Michelle... quiet down, I think Regan is trying to take down the solar panels again.
The republicans could probably live with his alien form, but not his middle name..
In a unprecedented move expected to both reduce the national debt and improve Obama's popularity, the number one attraction for sci-fi fans at this year's inaugural White House "D.C. Con" is having a picture taken with the President for five dollars.
I am sick and tired of finding Biden's toys all over our lawn!
Get OFF my lawn!
Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for a huge fiscal deficit by your side.
May the Force be with HOPE 'n CHANGE. I’m asking you to BELIEVE.
"the new extendadildo will save the economy!"
or
"anyone know the Bush's address, Laura left something behind..."
Suddenly POTUS brandished a light saber at the gaggle of White House press correspondents shouting "I said NO MORE damn questions!"
If theres Anything in the world I hate, its Bedbugs.
Filthy Little Devils!
"Where I'm from we don't use guns... wherever that is."
Even the President of the United States embarrasses his children at family events.
Christ, well, look on the bright side. At least he isn't screaming 'mission accomplished.'
"Well, you Do know that I'm up against witches: but enough about Tea Party racism."
The GOP flips out, telling Obama that Bush never appeared on the lawn of the White House without his suit jacket on, further proof that Obama is a Kenyan, racist, Marxist, socialist, elitist and all the other "ists" known to mankind.
I will Force you to like the health care bill.
Obama likely misunderstood CNN when they referred to the Al Quaeda as an evil empire.
...and then, ma'am, he just took it out of my hand and said "it's my turn".......BARACK!!!!
Back from the future, Obama celebrates success.
"If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine."
Better breathe through your mouth, Mom. Obi-Dad just Cut One. A Wheatgrass Special. [coughs]
Obama had no idea that day that soon he would be fighting off the newest rumor that his dad was not a Kenyan, but Darth Vader himself.
His weapon of choice was battery operated, yet he danced in place singing I've Got The Power!
Exhibit A in Darth Vader's paternity suit.
Hey Boehner - I find your lack of faith disturbing.
Lando: You said the public option and card check would be left in the city under my protection!
Obama: I am altering the deal, pray I don't alter it any further.
Hey Mom, he's not my father, right?
Here Glenn, here Rush, come boys....
Obama Blames More Sith On Republicans
Public shocked, relieved to find out Obama is a Jedi name.
Look...I found Nancy Pelosi's vibrator!
