Ukes at the White House Situation Room

It was a really tough room for my latest gig.  I thought they’d be more attentive, but they all seemed to be really distracted by a very realistic video game that was playing on one wall.  Something about “getting Geronimo”…



Seriously, you’ve probably seen this picture taken at the White Hourse during the raid on bin Laden’s compound a couple days ago.  But have you really looked at it?  I’m stealing this idea from TRMS, but presenting it in a way where you can take a closer look.

Look at the expressions on the people’s faces.  This is quite some photo-journalism by the White House photographer.  Look at the expression on Hillary Clinton’s face.  I don’t think she enjoys Halo, Gears of War or shoot-em-up video games either…


Michael Mullin, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, looks shocked… dismayed…


There are some other notable expressions which I will let you look at on your own, but perhaps the most poignant is that of Obama himself.  This is a face of determination right here.



I’m also posting this blog as a bit of visual evidence for those who might be questioning the validity of this remarkable news.  Some think bin Laden still lives.  Some are saying he’s been dead for years and we’ve been keeping his body on ice, waiting for a politically advantageous moment to concoct this story (18 months before the election? huh?).  Some point to the “suspicious” burial at sea for the corpse.  Look, he was a Moslem; their religion dictates their dead be buried within 24 hours of passing.  We didn’t bury him on land because we didn’t want to create a shrine for fanatics to honor.

In any case, the people in this picture are not actors.  Heck, I AM an actor and I couldn’t fake these kinds of expressions.  I certainly can’t imagine getting a room full of 13 people to “fake it” so convincingly. No, they were watching something real.  Something dramatic.  Something our nation has been waiting for since 9/11/2001.

    The way Obama’s looking at Joko I’d say he’s determined to break out a can of whup ass on him.

    But it all seems to be a bit of an anti-climax – why didn’t they arrest him and put him on trial? What have Americans got against people being tried and found guilty in a court of law?

    Maybe Hilary was suppressing a yawn, maybe they were all watching some graphic video. Idk.
