Walking through a small hotel lobby in Washington, D.C. earlier this week, I spotted this provocative piece of art hanging on the wall.
My husband said he was surprised that a hotel lobby just a mile from the White House would display such art that one could argue, somewhat defaces our Beloved Leader.
But I immediately knew I was staring at the subject of the next Tatler Photo Caption Contest and whipped out my smart phone to capture the image.
So Tatler fans, it is now up to you to write the appropriate caption for this photo of framed art from an Washington, D.C. hotel lobby that shall go unnamed.
To start things off, here is my entry:
It’s time for a change when HOPE peels off the wall.
Not bad, but Tatler photo caption contest regulars can do much better than that. So plug in your creative juice machines and let it flow.
Now, if you are a submitting a caption for the first time the only rules are “be nice and stay classy”, because the media has been known to watch and report about our little contests. In other words, try to keep your personal crazy train from going off the rails.
Besides the great honor and glory that is bestowed upon the winner in a future post, the caption writer receives an all expense paid trip (using your own credit card) to the Washington, D.C. hotel lobby where the artwork resides (or at least did until this photo caption contest was announced).
Good Luck and HOPE you win!
Lasted longer than most of his promises.
HOPE SPRINGS ETERNAL…

Just as I thought. This scratch off game is a loser.

If his picture can’t occupy a wall, how can his supporters Occupy Wall Street?

“Hope” is just SO 2008!
You didn’t build that. Somebody else made that happen.

“Here I am…wasn’t I?”
HO HO HOPE!
Hope is not a plan.
My name is Barack Obama, king of kings:
“Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!”
Ever since his ascension to the Throne (other than the porcelain one), I have referred to The Anointed (Ointmented?) One as Ozymandias-on-the-Potomac.
Living in N.Va. not too far from the Emerald City of Odds, it’s also interesting to note that parallel in how much we’re told to ignore the man (and women, all 535 of them) behind the curtain.
Hope and Change. Nice posters, but nothing actually stuck.
. . . mostly change.
1) Hope you didn’t plan on sticking around.
2) Nice try, loser.
3) This piece of wood looks better each day.
4) Remember this guy? Neither do I.
5) Falls Hope
6) This wood has been treated to resist BS.
7) I see you got your hopes up but they didn’t last long.
8) Looks like we won’t have to be stuck with him much longer.
9) If only he wasn’t half white he could stay up longer.
10) A picture of the last four years.
The scratch was too hard and the sniff was nauseating.
There used to be a small business behind this window..Then Obama changed everything.. Now Hope is peeling away with the last of OUR FREEDOM..
How un-a-peeling….
See? Nothing underneath.
I’m always struck by posters that think they’re so sticky. Let me tell you something – there’s a lot of sticky posters out there.
Hope for one more term…to fix these posters!
Did Team Obama pay you to submit that entry?
Tell Mommy the truth now…
With a sideways (left, of course!) head nod to TSA….
Grope and Cringe

Losing his a-peel
the writing is peeling off the wall
It only took one man to ruin Hope for millions!
D@mn! Hit that expiration date thingy again…
I am confident nature will not take what would be an unprecedented, extraordinary step of ungluing a hope poster that was pasted by a strong majority of a democratically-elected Congress.
1) The Audacity of Reality.
2) Held up better than his handling of the economy.
3) He didn’t really promise (/build) that.
4) It takes more than Hope to accomplish anything!
5) Shattered Dreams from my Father.
6) Is this the Change you were Hoping for?
7) This is what happens when you Hope instead of Plan.
8) The posters held up better than his policies.
9) Only Dopes rely on Hope!
To correct my mistaken placement of the quotation marks in #33 above:
“My name is Barack Obama, king of kings:
Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!”
“This happens all the time–I’ve got to replace the posters twice a day now! What’s in that crate, anyway?”
[checks] “Says ‘Ark of the Covenant.’”
Oops! Cut and paste not working; my bad!!!
This is what reality looks like when you sober up after a drunken one night stand with Marxism. You feel violated, bitter and angry, although mostly at yourself and those around you who failed to prevent it from happening.
Hope lies peeling…
His posters are falling almost as fast (and furious) as his economy.
“Buddy, can you spare some change?”

“CHICAGO VALUES”, by the artist “Dead Fish” E! this organic work is from his early paper and plywood period. Some critics see him as a true American Master,
others not so much. This is a copy, the original is in the oval office.
