Just in time for the 40th anniversary of Watergate, President Obama has invoked Executive Privilege. Sure, other recent presidents have used this same technique but Obama’s use of it now somehow seems more Nixonian. This coupled with reports of Obama’s “enemies list” comprised of big Romney donors and his frequent use of the phrase “perfectly clear” means its time for another world famous Tatler Photo Caption Contest.
The winner will receive accolades in a future post and NOT KIDDING HERE a vintage Time magazine with a Watergate cover story from my personal collection of historic magazines and newspapers. What is ironic is the first one I ever collected at age 13 was a Boston Globe with the headline from the November, 1968 election that screams: Nixon’s The One!
So Tatler fans, let flow all your creative juices and make this contest the best ever. There is only one contest rule – there shall be no “18 minute gaps” between submissions.
Good Luck!

So far forward we’ve gone 360 to the 70′s.
360?
Full circle
I…Am Not a Crook. Oh…Wait….
People have got to know whether their President ate a dog or not. Well, I am not a cook.
Who knew that Nixon and Obama’s love child would turn out better looking than either of them?
Good luck trying to top the caption to the image on the Tatler homepage, though: “How did Checkers taste?”
I don’t think that’s a reference to this Checkers, either.
By the way, Obama as Nixon? I just can’t quite see it, myself…
I could pass a budget, but that would be wrong.
I am totally a crook.
I was thinking of doing a similar post, but it was to be a collection of Obama/Nixon morphs.
To kick it off, I created my own, which you can view here:
Nixobama
I guess this post will take the role of the post I was thinking of doing, so feel free to embed this and any other Nixobama morphs you can find to the post, which can this exist as a sort of permanent repository of Nixobama images, for bloggers to use in perpetuity.
“I know what will turn things around, I’ll just go on Jimmy Fallon and say “sock to to me”.”

According to my most trusted advisor Bebe Rebozo, uh…er… Valerie Jerrett, I think it’s time that the American people began to lead.
1972 – 49 State Landslide
2012 – 57 State Landslide
Johnson’s fault.
Nixon’s… THE ONE????
I think we have a winner.
Actually, a little tweaking to make it perfect:
Nixon’s The One.
(No question mark, and the “O” is an Obama campaign logo.)
For those who don’t know the references:
Nixon’s 1968 campaign slogan was “Nixon’s the one.”
And in 2008, Obama was at first worshipfully and then eventually sarcastically dubbed “The One,” for his savior-like qualities.
Believe it or not, I think somewhere in a storage locker I still have that button!
Our first composite President.
All the economic ignorance and spineless, naive, pie-in-the-sky wishful thinking lack of understanding of foreign affairs of Jimmy Carter combined with the arrogance and disregard for the rule-of-law of R. Milhouse Nixon.
Wait’ll you see my Checkers Feast……errr, Speech.

OBAMA’S THE NONE
Watergate? Isn’t that a low class hotel or something? No thanks. I’m not staying there.
Would you buy a used gun from this man?

You had a shredder and all I got was this lousy “Reset” button.

Two-faced? Me?
I AM NOT A ROOKIE
Leave me alone.
YOU STILL HAVE BUSH TO KICK AROUND
“Tricky Dick”
People have not to know whether or not their President is a crook. Well, squirrel.
OBAMA MAKES NIXON LOOK GOOD
It was a little Portuguese water dog in a crate that he’d sent all the way from Pennsylvania. Black and white spotted. And our little girl—Sasha, the 11-year-old—named it Bo. And you know, the kids, like all kids, love dog meat and I just want to say this right now, that regardless of what they say about it…..we’re gonna eat it.
From Black Jesus to retro-Nixon in less that 4 years. Do I win a Fall from Grace speed record for that or something?
Come November,
You Won’t Have Me to Kick Around.
This one gets my vote.
“Actually, I AM a crook!”
Don’t Call It a Comeback.

Obama shuffles back, alone, coming to a stop in front of
a larger-than-life, full-length oil portrait of JOHN F.
KENNEDY. Obama studies the portrait, pads closer. Looks up.

When they look at you, they see
what they want to be.

When they look at me, they see
what they are…
It was a little cocker spaniel and regardless of what they say about it, we’re gonna eat it.
From the Tet Offensive to the Debt Expensive, just differing shades of shady.
“If I had a son with Nixon, he would look like this.”
NO ONE IS ABOVE THE CONSTITUTION.

“You won’t have this Kenyan to kick around anymore!”
And he wanted his own ‘Gate’. And Lo! He declared ‘Executive Privilege’ and got it.
Obama surpasses Nixon tapes with real smoking gun. Brian Terry unavailable for comment.
Go big or go home. Obama, the bigger Nixon.
Nixon’s Executive Privilege = Burglary
Obama’s Executive Privilege = Murder
Nixon: Tricky Dick
Obama: Just A Dick
The President met yesterday with President Vladimir Putin, who opened their meeting with the question “So Barack, do any fornicating last night?”.
“People have got to know whether or not their president’s a Murderer. Well, I’m not a Murderer.”
“Hey America! You’ve been punked!”
1)Do you know how hard it is to outdisgrace a Nixon/Agnew ticket?
2)Barack/Dick Interwoven. BDI’s…very beady eyes.
3)Paranoia in Power. From the enemies list to the kill list, one stop shopping for tyranny.
4)Pardon me? Sorry, this time Ford didn’t participate in the bailout.
5)Think this is scary, wait til you see the Martha Mitchell/Eric Holder morph.
6)I am not a crock.
7)Quaker and Faker, from Milhouse to millstone around the neck of the Constitution.
8)1968-2008, every 40 years we have to remind ourselves why we fought the tyranny of a king.
9)Dick and Barack both end in ck. Look who we just elected. Awwww –ck! (Fill in the blanks)
10)No wonder this guy didn’t like Joe the Plumber, none of these guys likes to be caught with the plumbers.
1) Nixon 2.0, This time w/more open contempt.
2) Nixons’ “Dreams of my better Crooks”.
3) Ok, so I am a crook, but I got this little race card that pours white media guilt like Niagra falls
4) Ok, so I’m a crook, Honkey, what are ya gonna do abot it?
Smoke-filled rooms? I’ve seen a couple.
I am NOT giving the dog back.
Calling me a crook is racist. Even if I say it.

Think of Executive Privilage as having an endless supply of Get Out of Jail cards in the board game that is played daily on the hill called Obamaly.
Dick Obama, before he dicks you!
I am not a murderer.
Or
I did not have knowledge of those weapons, Smith and Wesson, Beretta, Colt, Remington, Mossberg, Ruger and others. I never told anybody to lie (they already knew that), not a single time (I let Holder do that); never. These allegations are false (but real). And I need to go back to work for the American people (screwing up the economy and destroying American prestige abroad). Thank you.(what a bunch of suckups)

“Imperial President is the new Black”
By the time you get dressed, drive out there, play 18 holes and come home, you’ve blown seven hours. There may be 99 better things you can do with your time, but one of the things I think you understand as president is you’re held responsible for everything, but you don’t always have control of everything, right?
OBAMA IS THE ONE
