Caption contest(s), 5/6
I knew President Obama’s photo-op at a burger joint with VP Joe Biden yesterday would be a likely source for a caption contest… but I didn’t expect the choices would be this rich! (Note: Whatever It Is, I’m Against It has already gotten a jump on me with a couple of these.)
Just offer captions on the ones that inspire you, or if you’re daring you can try to offer a complete narrative…

Two Wild and Crazy Guys who probably shouldn’t have worn white dress shirts when ordering burgers.

Obama: Watch me slip into line ahead these people. The trick is you gotta’ engage them and make them believe you’re looking out for their interests.
Biden: Go get ‘em, boss.

Woman: …I appreciate that Mr. President, but you still have to wait your turn just like everyone else.
Obama: Maybe you should go to the back of the line and burn off a few more calories before you order.

Cashier: …Of course I know who you are, and I’m a great admirer of yours, but the total for your order is still $22.37.
Biden: Oh, I can’t watch anymore. This could get ugly.

Obama: Maybe I should have ordered salad bar.
Biden: I can see the cook back there, but I can’t see where his hands are.

Obama:…You’re sure.
Pointing Aide: Yes, sir. That is a grilled onion.

Biden: What about that thing over there, on the tomato?
Pointing Aide: That’s a dollop of mustard.
Obama. Hmmm… Okay, I’ll try it.

Biden: Hey, this isn’t what I ordered. Aw man! This is your burger.
Obama: I’m sure it’s fine.

After years of holding their breath anticipating a major faux pas at every presidential appearence, the media now swarms gleefully over lunch at a burger joint.

As the veep struggles to keep from lol, the Prez gamefully listens as a genealogist traces his roots back to —.

Obama: “You’re actually going to check that twenty?”

Unwittingly juxtaposing themselves with a metaphor for compassionate conservatism, the guys react to a commotion to their right.

Shoving his way to their table for what he hopes is a sensational photo-op, Bill O’Reilly begins lecturing the president on proper burger building.

As O’Reilly continues his harangue, the veep realizes he doesn’t care for the look of that lettuce, either. Obama secretly wonders if dealing with Putin will be as difficult.

With O’Reilly hauled off in a straight jacket, Biden continues to assail his hapless burger. Obama suggests it’s not too early for a highball to calm things down.
Later, in the calm of the Oval Office, Obama makes what will be the single greatest decision of his presidency – putting subliminal messages on reich wing radio saying — .
