"And I can hit almost as well as I pitch"

(Photo by Pete Souza)

I don't get it. Is this supposed to be some kind of Salvador-Dali-like attempt at surrealism? If so, where's the floppy national debt clock?

The president is supposedly talking to the Turkish prime minister about Syria, so maybe the subliminal message is that Obama speaks softly but carries a big stick (Sheesh! He's not back to mimicking previous presidents again is he?)

Anyhow, it looks like caption time, to me.

"Okay Souza, shoot the picture through the closet doors, down near the ground, as if you're sneaking a candid shot. Wait 'til I pick up the phone. How's the lighting? Good? Okay, fire away."

I do have a favourite bat … after I regained consciousness, I decided not to call it Shellee.
