For some more fables and tall tales he read them these next.

[–]colourmeblue 54 points55 points ago

I love his face in this pic.

[–]retrospects 8 points9 points ago

It's a "bitch please" face.

[–]BLVD 4 points5 points ago

"bitch"? I was thinking of a different expletive.

[–]retrospects 2 points3 points ago

I guess "Nigga please" would work as well.

[–]PrematureArticulator 6 points7 points ago

The last president read a book to kids and terrorists blew up the Twin Towers. I think he is doing ok

[–]sismit 170 points171 points ago

And this president is even holding the book right-side up!

[–]GirlOnInternet 113 points114 points ago

The image of Bush holding the book upside down was shopped.

[–]MeGustaSuVino 232 points233 points ago

For those who didn't know, this one's shopped too

...although I don't really know why, I think the original of this is funnier than the shopped...

[–]smellhound 19 points20 points ago

Either way, it's a spot-on Dick Cheney impression.

[–]L320Y 5 points6 points ago

no heartbeat.

[–]Program_These 27 points28 points ago

Use imgur. Not just because this is Reddit but you are pretty much putting a knife in the gut of that site by posting it on Reddit.

edit: it's back up 10 seconds later, haha

[–]nicholaslaux 6 points7 points ago

The Blaze is Glenn Beck's corner of the internet. (Literally, it's run by his brand/franchise/whatnot.)

I don't think the majority of reddit would especially mind/care if it was taken down.

[–]snatchinyopeopleup 7 points8 points ago

Because as we all know, the majority of reddit never acts like spoiled brats, dicks, or jumps to conclusions when the opportunity arises.

[–]nicholaslaux 5 points6 points ago

Gasp

What!? Never!

[–]Tofinochris 2 points3 points ago

Wait, so Glenn Beck thinks doing a monster face while reading a book to children is BAD?

[–]SpruceCaboose 24 points25 points ago

Just in case you or anyone else didn't know, that was photoshopped. Just don't like seeing that passed around as a fact, but as a joke it is all good.

[–]Program_These 5 points6 points ago

How do we know that one wasn't shopped?!

/r/conspiracy would eat this up...

[–]Poynsid 10 points11 points ago

In Bush's case, america WAS in his hands

[–]Program_These 3 points4 points ago

No clue why you're being downvoted.

The book IS called America...

[–]StickyBunz1 19 points20 points ago

It's from a photoshop competition.

[–]munnyfish 88 points89 points ago

he's describing what would happen if their parents vote for mitt romney

[–]JankBoy 45 points46 points ago

I kinda wish this wasn't shopped. I think having a president that doesn't take himself too seriously would be good for this country.

Seriously... Do you not think America would be better off with Steve Carell in the White House?

[–]CraigularB 39 points40 points ago

To be fair, I think his faces in the original photo set already prove he doesn't take himself too seriously. I mean, look at those crazy eyes and those claws!

But I agree. If this was real, it'd be one of the best pictures of a president.

[–][deleted] 10 points11 points ago

I have no idea what Steve Carrell's political stances are but HELL YEAH, HE'S FUNNY!! /s

[–]EATS_ONE_PRINGLE 13 points14 points ago

I would 100% vote for Steve Carell for president.

[–]whatdoy0uknow 1 point2 points ago

On a serious note, the President doesn't have as big of an impact as people think. People think he can change the US history but he's more like a spokesperson for a bunch of people making decisions.

[–]wiiman9999 35 points36 points ago

Wait... This is photoshopped...

HE'S A PHONEY! A BIG FAT PHONEY!

[–]tnewhouse6 40 points41 points ago

O he's reading to children...fuck him, right?

[–]Bored2Deth1 4 points5 points ago

Entertaining kids? Wow, we're all doomed.

[–]gollyRoger 2 points3 points ago

I'd take that over looking confused while planes fly into buildings...

[–]DekuBud 2 points3 points ago

I feel sound with the integrity of my country in a man that awesome's hands.

[–]czj420 4 points5 points ago

Not someone who cares about our children! No!!!

[–]Mr_Snuts 27 points28 points ago

Makes me love that man more.

[–]trakam 12 points13 points ago

Read that as 'man whore'

[–]Wienderful 6 points7 points ago

The hands of someone who's clearly a great dad? Yeah, that would suck.

[–]schlazz 12 points13 points ago

Coolest motherfucker ever.

[–]Spuder 9 points10 points ago

At least he can read, unlike your last president.

[–]depotman 3 points4 points ago

Yeah well my president can beat up your president.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points ago

Where The Wild Things Are.

[–]xoctor 1 point2 points ago

If that was his reaction to being told about a plane flying into the WTC, then I'd be worried.

[–]bellissimo28 2 points3 points ago

I love this picture!

[–]Turpskadey 4 points5 points ago

And that is an awesome thing.

[–]DJRD 1 point2 points ago

Oh, yeah. God forbid the president be appealing to children. OHHH NOOOO!!!!!!!

[–]the_penultimate_user 3 points4 points ago

I may not agree with Obama on certain topics, but I gotta admit, the dude has personality.

[–]ProfCrumpets 0 points1 point ago

Nice try Mitt Romney!

[–]AmishGangster666 18 points19 points ago

America is in his hands, and I'm just fine with that.

[–]superfluousnougat 9 points10 points ago

Honestly, I'm not a Democrat and I think the guy is awesome. Sometimes, it's okay to look at a person and not see only those things you may disagree with.

[–]DJWLJR 10 points11 points ago

F--- yes, it is! A president that reads Where the Wild Things are to kids, and gets into character? Yeah, I am perfectly okay with this. In fact, I wholeheartedly approve!

[–]Manic_Zed 8 points9 points ago

This is one of the reasons I like him so much as a person. You would never see romney acting like a told goof ball in pubic while reading a book to a bunch of kids.

[–]tibamarak 10 points11 points ago

Yes, I feel so ashamed to live in a country where the President enjoys reading books to children and isn't embarrassed to play along and make them laugh. What a disgrace!

[–]victorytree7 9 points10 points ago

This is the reason I respect this man. He is an American, and lives an American life. From him buying a beer tickets from a vendor, to him reaching out and reading to children. Say what you want, he is the only president I have ever truly respected in my lifetime.

[–]monaiz 11 points12 points ago

You're bashing on him just cause he's trying to entertain some kids? smh

[–]explorer58 2 points3 points ago

that only makes me feel better about him. Seriously. Good guy that Obama

[–]xoites 2 points3 points ago

Better than a fucking multimillionaire robot who hides his income to avoid taxes.

So why does Michelle keep trying to lool like an "around the way" girl? She's been around the way and back again.

[–]greenthumble 2 points3 points ago

Her life is in your hands, Dude. Mr. Lebowski asked me to repeat that. Her life is in your hands. Her life is in your hands. Dude.

[–]Irrelevant_Ivan 2 points3 points ago

I hurt my ulinary nerve earlier this week, now I have constant numbness in my right hand.

[–]Lookhowmanyfucks 2 points3 points ago

No, America is in OUR hands we just like blaming the president because apparently he's the only part of the government.

[–]Lupawolf 2 points3 points ago

What's with Michelle's face? What was Obama saying in that pic (the original, not the shopped)? And I think it's great that Obama had fun with this, that the kids met a human being instead of a robot prez. Some of the pics of Bush, the kids looked uncomfortable, he looked uncomfortable. But the upside down book thing, that was shopped, right?

[–]ceir 0 points1 point ago

The book is right side up.

[–]fiacconi 10 points11 points ago

YEEEEEEEEEEE OBAMA

[–]mastigia 5 points6 points ago

I don't have a problem with a president who know how to play with kids.

[–]hanncamp 3 points4 points ago

He's reading to children, at least he has a sense of humor...

[–]Halgy 3 points4 points ago

I was about to say that anyone who was that committed to storytelling is okay in my book.

[–]YNot1989 2 points3 points ago

I imagine that Sasha and Melia were both shaking their heads in embarrassment at this point.

[–]ABentSp00n 3 points4 points ago

This picture actually makes me feel pretty good about that.

[–]ERankLuck 2 points3 points ago

Welp, that secured my vote for him.

[–]Kragansa 2 points3 points ago

The President's having fun? I like it.

[–]MadHatter69 1 point2 points ago

I like how that dog is making this picture at least 10 times funnier for some reason.

[–]Herschel_Biker 2 points3 points ago

Looks to me that he's better at reading to children than Bush was.

[–]Dynamiklol 0 points1 point ago

The republicans really dislike this one apparently.

[–]asksrandomquestionss 1 point2 points ago

I like him. For once, we have a president who isn't an up-tight asshole 24/7, besides clinton anyway. The man was thrown into an impossible situation and yet he still can smile about it? Give him a medal.

[–]Echofriendly 4 points5 points ago

Somethingawful repost...the most egregious of reposts.

[–]thorizzle117 5 points6 points ago

Anyone else feel like Reddit is being targeted by Obama's campaign? As in, he has a specific team set up to post things on Reddit that favor himself?

[–]Serge3444 2 points3 points ago

no, i think most of reddit is just extremely liberal, and so it comes naturally.

ffs, i cant even say i like him as a person and disagree with his politics iwthout getting downvoted to oblivion here. Conservatism, even fair-minded respectful conservatism isnt welcome here.

i actually said pictures like this make me want to like his politics, and still got downvoted into oblivion.... seriously. Welcome to reddit.

this place can be as closed minded as it comes.

[–]Trevsweb[!] 3 points4 points ago

Better him reading and acting out a children's book than not reading and acting to be a president. Obama is the best thing to happen to America. Don't ditch him yet. X rest of the world.

[–]fartmyduke -1 points0 points ago

Im sorry but id rather be in his hands then this mans. http://www.tribbleagency.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/romney1.jpg

[–]TuckerMcG 3 points4 points ago

What's with people and photoshopping pictures of presidents reading to kids?

[–]AndrewV 1 point2 points ago

In case anyone is wondering this picture is from a website known as SomethingAwful. This is part of their photoshop Friday!

There's also a part 2

[–]bad_situation 1 point2 points ago

I don't care. This is awesome.

[–]DeathByOrgasm 2 points3 points ago

...And I am totally okay with that!

[–]Nateosis 1 point2 points ago

well he's doing better than Bush. . . .when Bush read a book to school children, 9/11 happened

[–]Antonio2Ballz 0 points1 point ago

And he's doing a good job of holding it together, you twat.

[–]chrissuit33 2 points3 points ago

At least he's intentionally being child like.

[–]RationalArgumentMan 14 points15 points ago

What's so bad about? I'm very unfamiliar with photo editing, so excuse my ignorance. To me it looks believable.

Edit: Actually mxman991, not to be a dick but I genuinely am interested in seeing how you would go about photoshopping this picture so we can see what a better version would look like! Hopefully you get this edit.

[–]kojiflak 7 points8 points ago

As someone who is very familiar with photo editing, this isn't that bad. I got a good kick out of it and had to do a double-take. Hell, the angle that he's at doesn't even make it that obvious he's missing a neck. Plus, its hard to fuck up something like this considering its basically a straight cut along the edge of his collar. mxman991 must have had a bad day.

[–]RationalArgumentMan 2 points3 points ago

Ah, good to know I'm not that gullible! I always see tons of comments on reddit about bad photoshopping, meanwhile I hardly even notice what flaws there are. Thanks for the reply, cheers!

[–]statikuz 2 points3 points ago

If by "terrible" you mean "obvious" then sure, it's pretty obvious that his shirt isn't big (tall) enough to hold his whole torso+head. Sure the area above his head seems a little too blurry, but other than that, I think technically it looks fine, especially since it was done as an obvious joke, instead of trying to make it look "real."

[–]hwbehrens 2 points3 points ago

[–]andrewsmith1986 3 points4 points ago

[–]emperornibble 0 points1 point ago
