War Games

By Michael Shaw

From the White House Flickr “Year in Pictures” upload…

Apparently, Obama and Biden have different arms suppliers.

(photo: Official White House Photos by Pete Souza and David Lienemann caption: June 11, 2011 “The top photograph shows the President having a water gun fight with his daughter Sasha on her birthday weekend at Camp David. Unbeknownst to me, David Lienemann captured a similar photo of the Vice President on the very same day.”)

    That first/top photo is a nice family type photo.  Dad chasing daughter with a water pistol.  Okay.  Nothing particularly noteworthy there.  Just good family fun.

    But, Oy!  That second/bottom photo.  Yeah, that had to be some birthday weekend, indeed.  “Similar photo?”  Not by my lights.  Moves that b’day party into a whole n’other dimension for me.

    My first gut reaction was that this was a pretty creepy image of Obama. He’s actually ordered assassinations and is responsible for murdering hundreds of people with unmanned drones, most of them innocent civilians including children.

      We see so many fetish photos of Republicans posing with actual real, not orange plastic weapons, I think this doesn’t anywhere near meet that bar. But that’s just my take.
