What the heck did they tell him?

Take a look at these pictures of President-Elect Barack Obama below. Top row, happy-go-lucky, not a care in the world. Bottom row, like a guy going for triple root canal.

And here’s what’s interesting. The top three were taken just before the election, and the bottom three, plus the one at the left, were taken after the election.

This is after less than a day of briefings and staff meetings where they tell him all the big secrets. Like about the alien plan to invade Earth in February. Like the White House television uses an antenna and won’t get H.D. Like Mississippi and Alabama will probably continue to be states. You know, junk like that.

Whatever they told him, if it can do that to you in one day, you better hope you don’t ever find out.

Maybe he’s just really tired. I’m sure he hasn’t slept much in the past few weeks. Not real sure he’ll get to sleep much in the next four years either.

Has anyone else noticed how close this election mimics the election in the last season of the west wing? a young, inexperienced, dynamic, minority democrat against a seasoned, well liked except by his own party republican. weird…..
