President Donald Trump briefly met with children of the White House press corps on Friday as part of a Halloween celebration, and things got weird pretty quickly. 

The costumed kids were invited to the Oval Office before trick-or-treating in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building. Trump, ever eager to criticize the press, seized the opportunity to make fun of their parents. 

“I cannot believe the media produced such beautiful children,” Trump said, according to a pool report of the event. “How the media did this, I don’t know.”

I swear everything this guy does is creepy.

Personally I would not let my kids anywhere NEAR this pussy grabbing asshole. 

What a difference a year makes.

Things must be bad if it has driven Donald Trump to prayer.

Let's be clear, Donald Trump is NOT a religious man.

Though he will play the part of one in order to fool the Evangelicals into voting for him.

The story behind this photo is that it was a "laying on of hands" by evangelical leaders invited into the Oval Office.

Now why does this seem so familiar?

Oh yeah, that's right.

I wonder if this will be as big of a fail for Trump as it was for Palin way back in the day?

Creepy Donald Trump continues to be creepy.

President Donald Trump on Tuesday interrupted his call with the new Irish prime minister to bring attention to a reporter, saying, "She has a nice smile on her face, so I bet she treats you well.

"The reporter, Caitriona Perry, who has been the Washington correspondent for the Irish public service broadcaster Raidió Teilifís Éireann since 2014, shared the "bizarre moment" on her Twitter feed and it quickly went viral.

Here was what the reporter said about the incident to RTE:

"One minute we were outside the window and the next minute I'm meeting the President of the United States," Caitríona told RTÉ Entertainment after her encounter with the US Commander in Chief. 

"Usually we would shoot from outside the window of the White House and that's what we were expecting today but instead we were invited inside to witness the President's call to the Taoiseach. When we went in he was already on the phone but I caught his eye and he called me over."

Well of course she "caught his eye," she is an attractive woman, and he is a notorious pussy grabber. 

In fact I would bet that the entire reason that all of the reporters were invited inside was so that he could get a better look at her.

As you might imagine the comments on Twitter were mostly outraged.

Trump doesn't allow formalities like sitting in the Oval Office to put a crimp in his lechery. https://t.co/SfsxWMVopp

Great, just another reminder that we have destroyed the integrity of the presidency by allowing the Russians to install a vulgar, misogynist, ignorant, moron into the Oval Office.

Perhaps the greatest picture that will ever be taken in the Oval Office while Trump is president.

Courtesy of Yahoo News:

Presidential photo ops are normally a staid affair, but Rhode Island teacher Nikos Giannopoulos brought some unique flair to the Oval Office when he met with President Donald Trump. 

Giannopoulos carried a black lace fan that he unfurled alongside Trump at the Resolute desk in order to, as he put it in a Facebook post, “celebrate the joy and freedom of gender nonconformity.” Giannopoulos met Trump with a group of other teachers on April 26, but he only received a copy of his picture with the president this week. Since he posted the photo on Facebook on Thursday, it has gained widespread attention and, as of this writing, was shared over 2,600 times. 

“I walked into the Oval Office, I was probably like the fourth person to walk in,” Giannopoulos told Yahoo News in a Friday phone interview. “I kind of popped open my fan just to be kind of a little bit sassy, as I am prone to being.” 

According to Giannpoulos, Trump immediately took notice of the fashion accessory. 

“I started fanning myself and he complimented the fan actually, so that was his first sentence to me. It was basically, ‘Oh, I like the fan.’ And then he also told me that I was very stylish,” Giannopoulos said.

Giannopoulos teaches special ed students in Rhode Island so he is undoubtedly used to dealing with individuals with Trump's intellectual limitations. 

I think this should be a new thing when getting your picture taken with Trump.

Just try to do something that will be both eye catching and ultimately embarrassing to him personally, and every inbred redneck who voted for him.

Well she finally made it. Sarah Palin visits the Trump White House.

Oh an look, she brought poopy pants with her.

Personally I did not realize that they made doilies that big.

Sarah Palin, Kid Rock, and Ted Nugent. Well now it's official, the White House is now the "White Trash House."

So what does this mean, if anything?

I would not even try to venture a guess.

This Trump presidency is batshit crazy, so Palin could be there to interview for some job with the Trump cabinet, to pee on one of the beds that the Obamas slept in, or to simply get her picture taken in the room that the American voters kept her from accessing on her own.

Who knows? 

All I know is that the White House staff should waste no time in getting the place fumigated.

That Palin stench is tough to remove. 

New video emerges that apparently shows Donald Trump tirade against top advisor Steve Bannon.

Courtesy of the Daily Mail: 

Footage has emerged of a heated row in the Oval Office on Friday that saw Donald Trump erupt into a 'ballistic' tirade against Steve Bannon and other senior advisors. 

The president reportedly unleashed his anger on Bannon and chief of staff Reince Priebus for failing to fight off the firestorm surrounding attorney general Jeff Sessions' recusal amid links to Russia. 

A furious Trump told Bannon and Priebus they weren't flying on Air Force One with him to Florida before reportedly storming out and heading down to Mar-a-Lago. 

Now, video has emerged of what appears to be the exchange during the fiery meeting inside the Oval Office, CNN reports. 

Ivanka Trump, Jared Kushner and Sean Spicer were spotted in the background of the footage. 

Trump had accused his staff of fumbling the situations with Sessions after the attorney general recused himself from all FBI investigations regarding Russia on Thursday. 

The president is said to have then taken it out on his senior staff the following day. 

I reported on this yesterday, but that was before this video had emerged. 

The first thing I thought when I saw this is who in the hell was in a position to film this?

It would have to be somebody on the staff, right?

I mean I don't think they have reporters simply hanging around outside of the Oval Office filming what goes on through a window.

And then I thought of how much money a video of President Obama like this would have been worth to the Right Wing media.

Except we know that no such video would ever have been taken during the Obama Administration, because that was back when we had grownups running the White House and not petulant, tantrum throwing, toddlers.

Made me laugh.

It seems like just about everything about this administration is joke.

Except for the fact that they occupy the White House.

Donald Trump checks in with his boss from the new office he helped him get.

Yes Vlad things are going as planned, except everybody hates me and it's not as fun as you told me it would be.

Courtesy of New York Daily News:  

President Trump chatted with Vladimir Putin Saturday, his first known conversation since taking office with the Russian leader he frequently complimented on the campaign trail. 

A gaggle of White House staffers — Vice President Pence, Chief of Staff Reince Priebus, National Security Adviser Michael Flynn and Chief Strategist Steve Bannon — were in the room when Trump made the call.

It is not clear what the two presidents talked about.

Oh I think I can guess the topic of conversation.

Putin put Trump in place to remove the sanctions, and that is what he expects him to do.

After speaking with Chancellor Merkel for 45 minutes @POTUS is now onto his 3rd of 5 head of government calls, speaking w Russian Pres Putin pic.twitter.com/RPAWIgcO2C

Do you notice that both Bannon and Flynn are in the room for the phone call?

Bannon is essentially running the show by writing the executive orders that Trump signs, and Flynn is his go between with Putin.

As reported earlier I think Pence and Priebus were forced on Trump in order to keep up appearances for the photograph.

I would bet money that there is a more private conversation later, assuming of course that there have not already been several private conversations before this. 

Donald Trump's was figure unveiled at Madame Tussauds. Just as hideous as you might imagine.

Courtesy of the Mirror:

A Donald Trump waxwork complete with his bronze tan and trademark blonde quiff has been unveiled at Madame Tussauds ahead of his presidential inauguration. 

A lifelike mannequin of the soon-to-be 45th President of the United States stands in a mocked up Oval Office at the London attraction replacing his White House predecessor Barack Obama.

Personally I think it looks a little too svelte and does not capture the real essence of the pig. 

For my money this does a far better job.

President Obama meets with president-elect Donald Trump in the Oval Office. (Does anybody else feel queasy?)

Not a mind reader, but I think I know what Obama is thinking.

Courtesy of CNN: 

The extraordinary meeting was a reflection of the swift and sudden change in the political mood between the frenzied last days of an election campaign and the reality of government and the transition of power between to administrations that follows. 

"My No. 1 priority in the next two months is to try to facilitate a transition that ensures our President-elect is successful," Obama said.

Obama told Trump: "If you succeed, the country succeeds," as the two men sat in high-backed chairs in front of the fireplace in the Oval Office. 

Trump thanked Obama for the meeting which he said had originally been scheduled for 10 minutes and went on for 90. 

"Mr President, it was a great honor being with you and I look forward to being with you many, many more times," Trump said, adding that he and Obama had spoken about some wonderful and difficult things and "some high-flying assets." 

It was not immediately clear about what he meant. 

The President-elect also said he would seek "counsel" from Obama. 

As the pool of reporters were led out, Trump told them several times that Obama was "a very good man."

Which I'm sure he followed with "You know, for a guy from Kenya."

Here is a little video of the meeting.

Personally I only see one President in this video, and it certainly is NOT the giant Oompa Loompa.

My President is a gracious and hopeful man, who is always working to get the best for the American people.

Mr. Putin's president is a hateful internet troll come to life, who will surely leave a path of destruction in his wake. 

I have no reason to post this except that I love it and I think it is a great way to start our Sunday morning.

And yet people continue to call this man cold and aloof.

Boy I have certainly felt like this a time or two.

Time for a caption contest.

I'll start:

"Geez, how long can grownups talk?"

"WTH? Who put a freaking couch in the way?"

"Smells like Joe Biden's ass."

Your turn.

Since today was all about babies I thought you all might enjoy this as our final post of the day.

Your early morning "Aw, that sweet!" for this first Wednesday in May.

Courtesy of Journal Star:  

Add President Barack Obama to the Jack Hoffman bandwagon. 

Obama met Monday with Jack -- the 7-year-old brain cancer patient who became a national phenomenon after running for a 69-yard touchdown in the Husker spring game this month. 

Obama spent about 15 minutes with Jack and his parents, little sisters Ava and Reese and former Husker Rex Burkhead, who joined the family after being drafted by the NFL's Cincinnati Bengals on Saturday. 

“It was awesome,” said Burkhead, who befriended Jack shortly after he was diagnosed with brain cancer in 2011. “It was a great experience, to see the president interact with Jack, and it brings awareness to pediatric brain cancer, our cause and goal.” 

Jack met with Obama in the Oval Office, where the president asked him to introduce his family, told him he had seen him on ESPN and was following his story, and gave him a football with the presidential seal and his autograph.

There are certainly things to criticize this President for, but a lack of humanity is definitely NOT one of them. The man has a huge heart, and it shows every time he is around Americans in need or our children.

Just in case you are one of the handful of people who have NOT seen Jack's touchdown run, this is for you.

Now THAT was sweet.

President Obama awards the Medal of Honor, while the recipient's son steals the show.

Courtesy of the Denver Post:

Former US Army Staff Sargent Clinton Romesha(C) walks with US President Barack Obama(R) and First Lady Michelle Obama (L) to the East Room for his Medal of Honor ceremony at the White House February 11, 2013 in Washington, DC. Sargent Romesha was awarded the Medal of Honor for his gallantry during an insurgent attack on Combat Outpost Keating in Afghanistan in 2009.

This was who our President was honoring while Palin and the Right Wing were attacking him for not attending the memorial service of celebrity sniper, and gun shot victim, Chris Kyle.

However as impressive as Sargent Romesha's achievements were it was another, younger Romesha, who garnered muhc of the attention, including the President's.

Did President Obama turn the Oval Office into a man cave? Oh, I would TOTALLY do that!

"Like what you see Mitt? Good, now get out!"

Courtesy of the New Republic:  

On Thursday, Barack Obama invited Mitt Romney to the White House for lunch. The two shared white turkey chili and repaired to President Obama's man cave, formerly known as the Oval Office, for photo ops. 

The transformation of the room became complete when, sometime in the past year, the president swapped out the fussy beige floral couches that formerly sat in the room for the possibly-velour tan behemoths you see before you. Though our sourcing is spotty on this, we suspect this is the only place Michelle would let the president put the furniture from his bachelor apartment. Or else they were the gift of an enthusiastic Ohio State fraternity, obtained during President Obama’s campaign travels in the state. The throw pillows, one can only assume, came free with a year's subscription to Sports Illustrated. The coffee table looks familiar: I could swear it's from the free section of Craigslist. 

The couches simply make form follow function: the room is the most important bro-out zone in the nation. 

Oh yeah, you can almost smell the testosterone.

And here I thought the President could not impress me any more. Turning the Oval Office into the world's most famous man cave? That is the shit!

Let me confess to a little something here.

The house that I currently live in was ONLY purchased after the builder and my ex-wife lured me into the deal with the promise of an addition not in the original plans, that addition has now become the Lair of Loquacious Liberalism. In other words MY man cave.

This is where I spend the vast majority of my waking hours. Where I think, where I dream, where I blog, and where I ponder the vastness of the universe. (It's also where I watch bad Netflix movies and shuffle through piles of purposeless paperwork, but that part is somewhat less inspiring.)

The wife is gone, the kids have grown up, but the Lair remains.

Every man needs one, and I am glad to see that the President has his. From such a carefully crafted command center he will accomplish great things.

Sure the President won a historic political victory and his poll numbers are climbing, but some people are just impossible to impress.

Courtesy of Politico:

President Barack Obama jokingly mimics U.S. Olympic gymnast McKayla Maroney's "not impressed" look while greeting members of the 2012 U.S. Olympic gymnastics teams in the Oval Office, Nov. 15.

For those who have been living under a rock, McKayla became one of the most prevalent online memes after she was photographed making this face during the gymnastic competition while participating in the Summer Olympics.

Since then she has been in great demand for appearances.

Apparently even the President knew who she was, and what she was famous for. You know besides that whole being a member of the Gold Medal winning Olympic Gymnastics team that is.

Best day ever! Update!

Like I have said so often before, if children could vote Mitt Romney wouldn't even bother to show up.

Look at that little girl looking up at the President. Do you think even Romney's own children ever looked at his like that?

Or like this?

Nope, me neither.

Obama/Biden 2012!

Update: It looks like the Obama Diary had a similar idea for a post.

Just our President being awesome!

I assume that Fox News will come up with a much different headline than mine.

Something along the lines of "Your tax dollars at work," or "President Obama giving young American the run around." To me that picture represents a great deal of why I like this President so much. When you can engage a child in play, without feeling self conscious or embarrassed, it speaks to your humanity and self confidence.

Hey speaking of Fox News, guess whose poll has Obama moving significantly ahead of Mitt Romney?  

Mitt Romney has had a tough couple of weeks on the campaign trail -- and it shows in the latest Fox News poll. After a barrage of campaign ads, negative news coverage of his overseas trip and ongoing talk about his tax returns, Romney’s favorable rating and standing in the trial ballot have declined. As a result, President Obama has opened his biggest lead since Romney became the presumptive Republican nominee. 

The president would take 49 percent of the vote compared to Romney's 40 percent in a head-to-head matchup if the election were held today, the poll found.

You know it must really chap all of the the asses over at Fox News to have to report that Obama is smoking their candidate so badly.

Gee sucks to be them.
