Does anyone else hear “me, me, me, all me, when Obama talks?

@SooperMexican noted his recent blog post over on Twitter and I clicked through to see the details.  It’s worth reiterating here as it is a theme of the current President and/or his administration that we’ve noted here before.

As we all know, Neil Armstrong passed away last week.  Heartfelt messages, tributes, and other remembrances were shared by many.  Of course, one would expect the President to issue a message about it and sure enough he (or his PR folks) did.  Follow along.

Neil’s spirit of discovery lives on in all the men and women who have devoted their lives to exploring the unknown — including those who are ensuring that we reach higher and go further in space.  That legacy will endure — sparked by a man who taught us the enormous power of one small step.

Along with that quote, a picture of a silouetted Obama looking up at an evening sky with a crescent Moon and Venus is shown. Click here to see it via SooperMexican’s post. Sooper goes on to ponder whether some staffer wrote the post and whether the picture was taken for the statement on Armstrong’s passing. His words are priceless:

I wonder if he had some pimply-faced staffer in his twenties write this for him. Did he go out and take a special picture, or just use a stock photo? Maybe that’s not even him and they photoshopped some dumbo ears onto a picture of some other guy…

So SooperMexican did some research and found that it is a stock photo of Obama that is on his Flickr account that was taken on April 24th, 2012. 

Seriously?  The President made a decent press release statement but then sullied it with this Tumblr post.

GorT

GorT is an eight-foot-tall robot from the 51ˢᵗ Century who routinely time-travels to steal expensive technology from the future and return it to the past for retroinvention. The profits from this pay all the Gormogons’ bills, including subsidizing this website. Some of the products he has introduced from the future include oven mitts, the Guinness widget, Oxy-Clean, and Dr. Pepper. Due to his immense cybernetic brain, GorT is able to produce a post in 0.023 seconds and research it in even less time. Only ’Puter spends less time on research. GorT speaks entirely in zeros and ones, but occasionally throws in a ڭ to annoy the Volgi. He is a massive proponent of science, technology, and energy development, and enjoys nothing more than taking the Czar’s more interesting scientific theories, going into the past, publishing them as his own, and then returning to take credit for them. He is the only Gormogon who is capable of doing math. Possessed of incredible strength, he understands the awesome responsibility that follows and only uses it to hurt people.
