It appears as though at some point yesterday — in between popping in to slow jam the news in North Carolina with Jimmy Fallon — President Obama was in Boulder, Colorado (a fine, fine town!) and decided to pop in at a local college bar called the Sink while he was in town. It was there that University of Colorado student Madalyn Starkey posed for what may be the greatest picture ever taken with a sitting president (the photo above, DUH! And it’s so great, in fact, that we’ve started a Photoshop challenge here.)
All morning I’ve been trying to imagine how I’d have reacted if the president just walked into one of my college dives while I was still a student. I like to think that the result would be similar to young Madalyn’s photo here, but more than likely it would have probably involved me and The Prez being photographed doing jager bombs at the bar. Bill Clinton was president when I was in college, after all, and I can be quite persuasive.

Thank God it’s not a duckface.
Likewise, glad there is no Shocker in the picture.
Of COURSE he was in boulder. Of course you love boulder. Gonna be a long 2012 for those of us that just come here for funny pictures. Obama’s day yesterday…”Solve some problems or convince some people who aren’t completely fawning over me that I have a plan? Nah, I’ll pander to the heart of my base in boulder and wank with jimmy fallon”. Tough to believe he’s such a polarizing figure who some people don’t take seriously.
It’s boulder there could only be a shocker if there were two bald girls giving it. Otherwise I think you get kicked out of school.
huh?
Woah there, Nathan Bedford Forrest. Just because you hate black people does not mean anyone wants to hear about it.
I suggest you LEARN an iota of politics before commenting on it. OF COURSE you start by energizing your base, who else is going to canvass for you?
Haha, just kidding. Its obvious you gave up on ‘learning’ after impregnating your sister the first time.
Enjoy his second term, jred.
I’ve never seen someone hate a city with <=100,000 people so badly.
Then just comment on the funny picture.
I call for an immediate Obama piss test. No one has ever just wandered into a Boulder bar without either first being high or being totally sober and leaving high.
Hey, it was just a momentary distraction from the really important White House business: fundraising.
Wingnuts on the internet are the fucking worst. They troll around 24/7 looking to make EVERYTHING political. Even a funny goddamn photo of a playful college student with her president. I hope they all get ass cancer.
Jredwine – I honestly do hope that one day, you are lucky enough to get raped in the woods by a bear with aids.
Not allowed silver wear? Like what, no necklaces? It’s called silverware, you dolt. You just advertised to the entire country that you are borderline illiterate. Good luck in college…
What the hell is “silver wear”?…
I bet she gives great helmet.
A Spaceballs quote in the midst of some seriously awful commenting. There’s hope for us yet.
Meh. I still like him
I am glad we have a President with a sense of humor, unlike the repressive hater PR!CKS that show up and crap all over these threads. Here’s to another 4 years to the coolest Prez EVAR!
Then say good bye to all your money. Oh wait, you’re a Libtard, you don’t have any money. OK, I see, just keep demanding to take mine.
You must not be very old because you obviously don’t remember Bill Clinton’s presidency. Clinton was much cooler than Obama.
Sorry, Teddy Roosevelt’s badass was the coolest president ever. [www.amazingben.com]
Bill Taft could REALLY put ‘em away back in the day.
Grover Cleveland knew how to party. I mean c’mon, no more legendary president ever.
After all, why do think it’s called a Cleveland Steamer?
Sorry, but Mr. O merely inherited the mess that Mr. W started. It was during W’s reign that the dollar price of gold basically quadrupled, from about $250 to $1000/oz. The same policies that caused this also caused the mid-2000s housing bubble, which was ultimately unsustainable, for anyone who understands these things. And so on for every other economic problem we face now. For us gold bugs, the gold price tells us everything we need to know…
Are we really doing political debates here? The policies that caused the housing bubble extend back over 20 years or more, so let’s stop all pointing fingers, shall we?
Usually Libtards are smart enough to not bring up the housing crisis, since the fault of that lays at the feet of the Dems. But I see you’re not up to date on your latest Soros talking point, so you’ll continue to embarrass yourself, while ruining the country more
Troll. Obama was saddled with ALL that by the blessed GOP when he took office. It takes time to dig you morons out of the sh*tpile you Republicans created.
Fart/Wank in 6969!
Got my vote.
Do some fact-checking! The Sink is a restaurant, not a bar.
Um, I did. From its website: “The Sink is restaurant and bar located in Boulder, Colorado.”
So, yeah, blow me.
Damn Cajun! Pwned!
Hey Chris24
If the country was in such bad shape……why did the obumbler make it worse?!??!!
You progressives always like to whine, “well it was sssoooo bad before…” Shoot if you have your car stuck in a ditch you pull it out of the ditch; you don’t leave it in the ditch and bury it with trash.
Bush didn’t do this country any good BUT your boy has made this country a hell hole. The only way out of debt is to STOP SPENDING!!!! You flipping progressive idiots have never had a real job so I don’t think you guys should be allowed to speak….go sit down….let the adult conservatives try to get this car back on track.
Steve
Remind me how much these ongoing wars have cost us? Especially the one we started because ‘He tried to kill my daddy.’
“The only way out of debt is to STOP SPENDING!!!!”
Wrong, idiot. Not spending is not how economies work. How far did you go in school?
Matty, if those wars were so bad, why did the Dems vote for them, or stop them when they had the chance?
Maybe when you get out of the classroom, and into the real world, you can talk economics. But until then, just keep living in your pipe dream alongside your professor who failed in the real world
Joel Richards, please explain to me the difference between Economics and Business.
Joel — what exactly do you do for a living?
AB, I pay for you to sit on your ass at home.
My suggested caption: “It was only this big! Can you believe it?”
After this picture, come with me. I have some secret service guys that are dying to meet you.
“He ordered WHAT for dinner?”
Fish Filet
@Bowser. Perfect.
Her hand signal means LOSER!
She be slapped for taking such an ignorant picture.
“If I had a president, he’d look like this guy.”
or
“I can’t believe he ate the whole dogburger!”
I’d get that blouse laundered.
Of all the Presidents in history, I have to meet this buffoon? Even Jimmy would’ve been better than this guy! I want my money back!
He ate my frickin Dog, man!
Hey, nobody tell this guy what number comes after a Trillion. Please!
He was right!
The hot dog is DELICIOUS!
HEY EVERYBODY, BARACK’S HERE!…..guess we’re buying…
to bad all you obama lovers are so naive, as to think this idiot is such a god, jeez, wake up AIRHEADS, the guy is a communist, bent on destroying YOUR COUNTRY, you people are so dumb and gullible, just because hussien (big ears) goes into some divie bar and snuggles up to some white chick, he is so cool, “whats the matter, where was the black chicks?”
WAKE UP GULLIBLE BONEHEADS, THE GUY IS A PHONY PLANT, THAT WAS ELECTED BY 50 MILLION IDIOTS, IN THIS COUNTRY, AND HIS BIG BACKER IS GEORGE SOROS.
If I’m reading this correctly his presidency is essentially the plot to the movie “Salt,” correct?
Pretty sure a lot more than 50 million people voted for him, genius.
Madalyn, you go to college and you don’t know how to spell silverware? Better stay out of the Sink and hit the books, girl.
this is an important fact the world needed to address. thanks.
And Obama, you should stay out of show biz and bars and DO YOUR JOB!!!
WE CITIZENS ARE PAYING FOR YOU TO CAMPAIGN. Boy, I wish I could get a job like that!!!!
maybe you should have graduated high school
Her shocked reaction is mainly due to the Secret Service murdering the girl before her who did fish lips.
It’s a great man ! Maybe in the long future we ( Romania) have a president like him.
Romania, I, for one, would love to see him move there. He doesn’t have a birth certificate in YOUR country, either!
PON RAUL 2012
Funny, she doesn’t LOOK like a Colombian hooker.
He just pulled my finger !
Look, I really am with stupid !
I was just wondering if her finger was loaded.
Here’s the real photo from the Sink
[envisionseattle.org]
the sink was the first place i got served under age. sweet place.
Took me a second to figure out what “silver wear” was.
I was thinking, “How’d she sneak those bracelets in there?”
Dude said “Woah there, Nathan Bedford Forrest.” – awesome!
No, YOUR political party is stupid
It is too bad that, in this country, we can no longer discuss political issues without insults and absolutes. There are no absolutes, and insults have no place in a civilized discussion. Nothing is the entire fault of any one individual or party. Clearly, solutions have to come from cooperation between parties, which has become impossible due to the pigheadedness of both sides. This pigheadedness is reflected in the mudslinging talking heads all the way down to the individual. I don’t think it has even been 20 years since I can remember politics being much more civilized. Everyone needs to do his or her homework, possess the facts, don’t believe everything you hear, and have an open mind. That is the only way this country will truly dig its way out of the mess it is in. Otherwise, we are pretty much doomed. And, as a side note, over half of the U.S. GNP is currently spent on our “defense”, and I use that term loosely. Perhaps this is the best place to start in righting our economy. In my humble opinion, it is time for others to take up some slack and for the U.S. to stop being the policeman of the world. I dare say this would make us a sight more popular in some of the places we have entered uninvited.
The picture is awesome! What leaves me flummoxed are the divisive, crude, rude and nasty comments from readers. Open your hearts and show some compassion for your fellow human beings. We’re all just doing the best we can. And you?
I know how to spell “silverware.” I was flustered and taken by surprise… I’m not that dumb
