One Peeved-Off POTUS | January 29, 2009

U.S. President Barack Obama meets with Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner and Vice President Joseph Biden in the Oval Office of the White House January 29, 2009 in Washington, DC. Obama criticized the reports of Wall Street bonuses that reached the proportions of those granted in 2004. The Senate is expected to take up their version of the stimulus bill next week.

I laugh every time I see Obama's skinny chicken legs and his big ol' feet sticking out like boats.

So adorkable.

I was JUST going to comment on that! His feet are ginormous! At least they look it, at the bottom of the toothpick ankles.

I love him even more for it. :)

Call me weird, but it makes me smile when men in slacks sit down and their pants ride up exposing half their lower leg. It looks so funny, especially when they're wearing a suit, trying to look good. :) It's like "Oh man, he looks so powerfu-- oh sh--, look at those ankles!!"

i love Barack's relaxed elbows on knees style. But it's funny because next to him Tim Geithner looks like he's trying to copy Obama and looking very uncomfortable. lol

Yeah I guess mine is too, I used to watch him on Spin Room and Crossfire, then his show a little, what's he doing now?

He has a blog going right now, and I think he's a columnist for some political magazine or newsletter or something. He's also still listed as a "senior political correspondent" for MSNBC, so I'm guessing he's still involved with them somehow. I kind of want him to write another book.

I love those chairs.

Funny how Treasury Sec. Geithner seems to be glaring suspiciously at B-Rock in the first few photos.

Permission to borrow the last one and make it into a lolobama?

That is exactly what I was going to comment on. They're gorgeous. The men sitting on them (and the sofa), too. Obviously.

Geithner looks like he can't figure out if he's in Bizarro World or real life. "Am I here? Is he here? IS ANY OF THIS FOR REAL?"

growing_wise on January 30th, 2009 02:19 am (UTC)

I don't know what it is, but Geithner gives me a creepy, something's-going-on-beneath-the-surface vibe.

sonatine on January 30th, 2009 02:27 am (UTC)

I think it's because his scary forehead of doom makes him look like an alien. Seriously. The first thing I thought when I saw a picture of him in that NYT photo feature a while back was "Oh, Tim Geithner, he'll be a good advis--HOLY SHIT FOREHEAD IS HUGE!"

dedqgirl on January 30th, 2009 02:42 pm (UTC)

to me it just looks like he has NO experience holding normal conversations while the press continues to snap their cameras crazily in his face. It's like he's thinking "Ok, Tim, keep your eyes on the big man, don't look at the camera, don't blink - you don't want to be the butt of a new punditkitchen macro - just keep cool, man..."

Hmmm~

It'd be interesting to see Barack with some facial hair. The second to last one I could totally see him with a little goatee or something~

All the pictures that show that rug make it look like they're on the edge of a drain or a hole in the ground, and if they fall off their chairs they're done for. :P

Meanwhile Joey B is looking' suave as ever, and Barack is all loooong legs and srs bsns face. He needs moar sleep (or moar sexxins from Joey, but whatevs).

Tim Geithner is my four-degrees of separation from Hiz Royal Prezidentness. One of my friends used to work for him here in NY till he went to be Treasury Secretary.
