The Annotated White House Flickr Feed: When Two Presidents Get It On

Ana: This looks like Obama is trying to help Garth Brooks through an episode of senile dementia.

Jason: That award, by the way, is a "Grammy On The Hill." For those of you who thought you couldn't degrade the brand name of Grammy any further.

Ana: I love how the caption just HAS TO remind everyone that Obama won a Grammy for best spoken word album.

Jason: Congratulations to the zero other nominees!

Ana: Here's Medvedev TOTALLY UNDRESSING OBAMA WITH HIS EYES.

Jason: Who's roofie-ing who here? I guess in terms of the Russian power alignment, Medvedev comes pre-roofied.

Ana: I can't tell if he wants to kill Obama or fuck him.

Jason: Speed-dating session? Or awesome Stratego tournament?

Ana: Poor Mullen — his speed dating guy is ON HIS CELL. [Insert a repeal of DADT joke here]

Jason: Looks like one couple went home happy.

Ana: Nice

Jason: I'm talking, of course, about photographer Pete Souza and that mirror!

Ana: Even nicer!

Ana: I don't think there are enough gays in Prague. Or at least they're not in the right lines of work. I mean, that bouquet????

Jason: I think this, from this picture's comment thread, is even funnier than the picture: "You can almost picture people waiting inside the plane and stepping out the door." YES, I GUESS YOU COULD "ALMOST" DO THAT!

Ana: Or you could look at some other pictures, unless that is actually beyond you.

Ana: I HATE IT WHEN THEY PUT OLD PHOTOS IN THE STREAM

Jason: Oh, yeah! That's from December! But nuke-treaty is newsy.

Ana: There are a lot of old photos of Obama ON THE PHONE too. Because…?

Jason: He has a great long distance plan?

Ana: Like: "Here he was working on the treaty over the phone in December!" And: "Here he was working on the treaty over the phone in July!"

Jason: He really tried, Fred Hiatt! To work on more than one issue at a time!

Ana: "Here's a picture of him on the phone working on the treaty in January! Oh wait, that was just a pizza order. WHO LABELED THESE????"

Jason: But, look, if I were in the White House Press Corps, this is the sort of thing I'd bring up about the way the White House manages their image. Of course, that assumes that anyone besides you and me and the Awl readership actually examines this Flickr account with any degree of discernment. But, you know! BE LESS STUPID! Also: HOW TO COOK SOME FUCKING MEAT.

Ana: HOW TO COOK SOME FUCKING PHOTOS.

Ana: Cute couple.

Jason: Yes.

Ana: "After dining with their wives" who they then excused so they could go cornholing in the bushes.

Jason: Russia has come a long way if they are giving Souza the same permission to just run around on the grounds of Medvedev's dacha, hiding in the bushes and stuff. You want to know one way in which it's better to be Dimitry Medvedev than it is to be Obama? That this picture suggests?

Ana: Besides being able to fit into Russian cars?

Jason: Oh, too true. But also: Medvedev can basically smoke any fucking place he wants to.

Ana: Obama could probably as well, technically. Like, what good is it being President if you can't smoke? "Let me get this straight: I can BLOW UP THE WORLD, but not ash on the White House grounds?"

Jason: Well, let me put it this way: Mark Ames and Matt Taibbi wouldn't have considered it a scoop if the eXile had totally blown the doors off the secret smoking glades of the Russian political elites. But if Chip Reid can unravel that mystery, LOOK OUT!

This looks disturbingly post-coital.

Obama signs papers allowing a select group of brown people permission to travel through Arizona. "This is probably going to become a thing," he said.
