Life’s not the same w/o a Caption Contest!

Posted on August 25, 2012 by | 44 Comments

This is the 29th world-famous FOTM Caption Contest!

Here’s the pic (h/t Wild Bill Alaska!), taken by Reuters’ Kevin Lamarque on August 21, 2012, at an Obama 2012 campaign event at Capital University in Columbus, Ohio:

~Click pic to enlarge~

You know the drill:

  • The winner of the Caption Contest will get a fancy Award Certificate and a year’s free subscription to FOTM! :D
  • FOTM writers will vote for the winner.
  • Any captions proffered by FOTM writers, no matter how brilliant (ha ha), will not be considered. :(

The winner and runner-up will be announced on Tuesday, September 4, 2012.

To get the contest going, here’s my caption:

“With a Harvard Law degree and after 3 years 7 months as POTUS, the smartest man in the world still cannot deliver a speech without his teleprompter.”

For the winner of our last Caption Contest, go here.

    Does this teleprompter make my face look square?

  2. wendy | August 25, 2012 at 4:57 am |

    The “real” brains of the administration….

  3. TNrick | August 25, 2012 at 5:43 am |

    Jose’ can you see…

  4. hrmfc | August 25, 2012 at 6:55 am |

    I know some of you can’t stand looking at me anymore, is this better?

  5. Bill | August 25, 2012 at 7:28 am |

    And if elected again, I promise that I’ll install teleprompters in every government and medical office throughout this nation so we will all get the same level of attention regardless of race or status.

    Transparency has been re-defined.

  7. Kathy | August 25, 2012 at 7:44 am |

    That’s no teleprompter, folks, it’s an ex-ray of his brain!!

    President Blockhead

    Hardnox just sent me this. I’m entering it as my no-words picture caption! :D

    Along the same lines as Dave:
    Lucy, Linus, and Charlie Brown in unison- “What a blockhead!”

  11. Dr. Eowyn | August 25, 2012 at 4:20 pm |

    That pic is a natural! LOL :D

    Ridicule and jokes about the Commander in Chief have always been, and WILL always be fodder for the masses. But, FOTM, correct me if I’m wrong or misguided- but I find the more Obama rejects Israel’s demands, the more ridicule he receives in the media. Is there a correlation here on this site? or are am I merely reading a bit too much into this? Readers? anyone wanna bite?

    Hey,cameraman! Let me finish this doobie.

    I have listened to you and heard your complaints about our lavish living style. So, I have asked all White House departments to suggest cost cutting measures to demonstrate our committment to reducing govt. costs. I’m proud to say that our secret service have stepped to the plate. They have assured me that all attempts on my life would be to my considerable brain. So, they have placed this ballistic defence screen to shield me. This will eliminate the need for massive crowd screening and staffing requirements.
    Rest assured, this and similar cost savers will help us balance the budget and still provide adequate and reliable security….That’s what my staff says and they should know….they’re all the Brightest and the Best that the Ivy Leagues can produce. Now to my comments concerning the Stupidity of the Republican party ,,,,,,

    I used to be an adventurer like you, but then I took a Vogon paddle to the face.

  18. Homeschool Mama | August 26, 2012 at 11:59 am |

    Yes we can fill a round hole with a square peg!

  19. Alice Wolf | August 26, 2012 at 8:55 pm |

    He just drew another blank.

  20. David616 | August 27, 2012 at 4:49 am |

    With the administrations policy – “never leave” any unturned stones for possible a donor(s)….. the POTUS goes out for the Gumby Vote and donations…at Warner Brothers and Hanna Barbara -realizing that many of his castituents are registered voters via Acorn.

  21. Christy | August 27, 2012 at 8:50 am |

    And he called us “bitter clingers”! As former President Obama is about to be forcebly removed from the White House he stubbornly clings to his favorite teleprompter, blank, like his record of true accomplishments.

  22. Dave | August 27, 2012 at 4:23 pm |

    LOL – I guess TOTUS has taken over, just like HAL did.

    In true Manchurian Candidate fashion, the real identity of Barry S. was revealed to all… He IS the Invisible Man! which the lamestreet media/pravda reported to no one.

  24. khetaamenti | August 28, 2012 at 5:05 pm |

    MSNBC anchor, “Once again, President Obama is not using a tele-prompter during his 36th campaign stop in New York. City”

  25. catscanner150 | August 28, 2012 at 6:53 pm |

    Wow Terry, 19 thumbs down, must be a record, the trolls must have you in their crosshairs.lol

      Hi Steve, glad you didn’t disappear! :D

      • britcapitalist | August 31, 2012 at 8:06 am |

        Steve, that’s good to know! Also, for the sake of my own credibility, I have to own up that my knee jerk, inappropriate “contribution” to this post was made while I was in brain “overload”; I had just picked up that image from somewhere and because I was not paying proper attention, posted it, which is why it is disconnected. I would like to have earned at least the same number of accolades that you and Terry achieved here (21 notches each? :D ) but I will wait for the next opportunity.

  27. Bob350 | August 30, 2012 at 3:35 pm |

    If I turn just TOTUS around they can just read this crap and I can get in another 18 holes!!!

  28. lightspeedsnail | August 30, 2012 at 10:18 pm |

    Excuse me, does this Teleprompter make my wife’s butt look big?

  29. bkeyser (@b_keyser) | August 31, 2012 at 1:59 pm |

    Hi Eo- been a while, I know. Quick note since you were the first to ever link to one of my photoshops:

    I put one together based on Ryan’s speech from the other night and after floating around on Twitter for a bit, it was picked up by Breitbart and Ace, among others, leading to over 11,000 views on my Flickr page, and thousands more on Melissa Clouthier’s yfrog account. Since this is a photo-caption thread, I thought I’d link it here. Hope that’s okay.

    This, is “Hopeless”: http://www.flickr.com/photos/sgtkey0811/7895634032/in/photostream/lightbox/

    Hope you’re all doing well! I’ll be by more often.

    Bob
