On Monday, the White House released the following picture of President Obama convening a National Security Council meeting in the White House Situation Room to discuss the unfolding events in Ukraine:
Looks riveting. In fact, most of the people in the room are staring blankly at the President with their arms folded, probably wondering if they left the oven on.
To spice things up a bit, conservative blogger and RedState contributor Caleb Howe took to Photoshop and made the picture a little more interesting:
Gripping photo from inside the President’s strategy meeting on #Ukraine. Powerful. #rsrh pic.twitter.com/SpTqX5xL9h

Here is Caleb Howe’s Photoshopped image in all its glory:
It’s the GIF that keeps on giving.
Every time I look at it, I see some other hilarious thing that’s been added. Here’s what I’ve been able to find so far:
- Baghdad Bob on the leftmost screen
- Teleprompter in front of the President reading “Wrong side of history [pause for applause]”
- President’s argyle socks and Puma sneakers
- Ellen DeGeneres Oscar selfie on the small teleconferencing display on the table
- Bottle of vodka on the table
- Picture of Yakov Smirnoff on the wall
- Wikipedia page on “Ukraine” splashed across the main screen
- Joe Biden eating a Twizzler
It’s genius. Now I’m starting to think that this is the real image and the White House version is actually the fake one.
