Blame it on the mirror or the expression on his face, but I simply had to hold a caption contest for the Pete Souza photo (above) taken just prior to President Barack Obama’s inauguration Jan. 20, 2009. The photo appears in the White House’s “First Year in Photos” gallery. Please use the comments section below to submit your caption.

“Mr President – Elect… if you can step away from the mirror… we have an Inauguration to get to.”

The picture is a metaphor for Obama’s presidency:
More image than substance.

The Massachusetts’ voters cursed Obanarcissus for spurning the people and he was condemned to gaze lovingly into his own reflection for the rest of his single term.
