Quick quiz: In these photos, President Barack Obama is…
a) illustrating how his new death panels will work.

The dream has come true…Darth Vader’s on the South Lawn and Obamawami will save us!
I must confess amazement at the fact that there were no Secret Service agents in any of the photos. Even a fencing epee can do lethal damage in the hands of an expert on an unprotected person.
However, it is SO refreshing to see a president with a sense of humor and an ability to display his humanity.
Sorry folks, B.O.’s light saber is not glowing… and his opponent is still standing… and everbody’s lurking around with this “yo, dog, watcha doin?” look on their faces.
Man… this is tooooooooo funny…. If tourists were allowed at this event…. I am sure, they would all like to pose with Barth Oader…
How come the most powerful man on the Earth has one of the cheap plastic cone light sabers instead of the Super FX lightsabers the light up (from bottom to top!) and have motion sensors to make the whooooom noises when you swing it?
Wow, you guys are really obsessed with our president. awesome. or fashion… double awesome.
Thats just ROFL!!!The comments just killed me indeed!!!Thank you,guys!!!:-))))
