So this happened at the White House press room today…
UPDATE: While this photo has been making the rounds in social media today, it has come to my attention the photo is actually from December 2010.  The presence of former Press Secretary Robert Gibs behind Pres. Clinton should have been a dead giveaway… H/T @EthanKlapper

There’s even an absence of anger in our President, which I think would be appropriate for him to get angry with the way things have gone. There’s nothing wrong with standing up and saying ‘this is bullsh*t!’ Right? ‘I inherited a mess. I’m trying to clean it up and I need your help.’ There’s nothing wrong with saying that. Liberals …shouldn’t let the conservatives co-opt all of the anger in the system.

There’s a great thread over on Reddit right now, with some good Photoshop work going on.
