Update: What say we make this a caption contest? Submit yours in the comments.

Update: What say we make this a caption contest? Submit yours in the comments.
On your marks? Now, photoshop this mess……..;P’…………
Pretty simple caption, really:
Barack Hussein Obama
44th President of the United States
A blank screen for a blank mind…
BO would call himself “open minded”. — You’re seeing the open window; a rare treat, I tell you!

How ’bout a caption contest? I’ll get us started.
Airhead!
On the TP: “You didn’t build that!”
………..” I did ”
………..” I love ME ”
…fading.:” Me, Me, Me, Me”
Your title is the best possible caption.
So that’s what Obama meant when he said, “I serve as a blank screen …”
Hell hath no fury like a White House press corps scorned.
“om”
barack who?
He just heard the old joke that goes, “How can you tell when Obama is lying? When you see his lips move.”
Problem solved.
“Ignore the man behind the teleprompter…”
The clothes have no emperor.
Ok, chris – I read through the comments and YOU WIN!
Yeah, that is pretty clever. I like it.
Winner winner chicken dinner!!!!
Thanks, guys!
Andrew Klavan (On the Culture) has a great video precisely on that theme (Barack the Magic Suit).
Hiding from the press corps!
He really is a blank slate!
It’s a magic screen that lets us see what is really going on in Obama’s mind! (nothing)
Anybody grow up with Romper Room (TV show)?
I see Joe and I see Sandra and I see Rachel…..
But most of all, I see George S.!
Last night Jay Leno displayed a pic of Obama taken in what I gather was the East Room of the White House, with the main floor hallway behind him visible through open doors.
The angle of the pic was such that one of the chandeliers was barely visible behind Obama’s head. It made him look like he was wearing a tiara and diamond earrings.
So, yeah — the halo thing does seem to be a thing of the past.
We need to photoshop Karl Marx’s face in the totus. Reflections of the mind.
“Every time I think I’m out — they pull me back in!!”

Obama prepares for his next position as pitchman for Jack-in-the-Box restaurant in 2013.

I liked it the original way you did it.
Um, … I forgot.
Who’s that standing behind TOTUS?
Intercepted!
Times are tough all over. Even Valerie Jarrett is cutting out the middleman.
He lives in a pineapple under the sea?
The suit is just as empty as the screen…
“you will always be able to look me in the eye, and know that I’m telling you the truth” barack hussein obama

POTUS did a Great Leap FORWARD, TOTUS stood its ground.
“Forward”, said SquareHead.
Wow. What happened to his ears?

… I’ll have an idea soon… any minute now…
Imagine that, I look just like Romney with this thing in my face and yet I still hate capitalism.
“And if I’m elected, I’ll put a Jack-in-the-Box on every corner. Fajita pitas for everyone!”
“On the screen before me is the complete list of my accomplishments as President.”
The teleprompter finally tires of being just the mouthpiece and decides to completely take over the head.
Mmmm…was that lemon meringue?
“I am the eggman.”
What is the sound of one hand lying?
If you donate $5 now, you can have your picture displayed here!

“Four score and seven rounds of golf ago your savior, Barack Obama — that’s me — brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in Social Security disability checks, bankrolled by GoldmanSachs, and dedicated to the proposition that all men can be made dependent on Barack Obama — me.”
The First Man-Teleprompter Cyborg–the Talkenator–is unleashed on an unsuspecting press corps.

“Yo, which one of you guys wants to ask my little friend here about Todd Aiken?”
“Tell your boy WALL-E to watch it. I’m looking to kick his ass if he thinks just any android can be President of the United States..”
Ja! Ven in Visconsin they told me speek like a squvare head I becha.
Blank Slate 2.0
…uhhh…I seem to have lost my mind…
“Prepare ship for ludicrous speed!”
“I’m in charge here” asserted the President’s teleprompter.
“Here, the president demonstrates how to fit a square head in a round hole.”
Max Headroom finally finds a body in need of a head.
Caption: “I’m ready for the face-off with Romney.”
Finally grasping their infantilism, the president plays peek-a-boo with the press corps.
And at that very moment…TOTUS became a real boy.
Jarrett: “Where’s his face? Where the hell is his face?”
Axelrod: “I dunno, dunno!”
Jarett: “Well reboot it dammit! Reboot it!”
Math is Hard
It is as plain as the nose on my face that I have lead the most transparent administration in history.
“Mirror mirror on the wall – I’m the fairest of them all!!”
“The reasons to vote for me over Mitt Romney are as plain as the nose on my face”
“Playing hide-and-seek with Biden is getting easier and easier.”
“How do you like me in white-face?”
“Help! Life-Alert! I got my head stuck in a box and I can’t get out!”
“The white board thing works for Karl Rove…”
Oh Noes, Obama in White Face..
This space intentionally left blank.
Curses Robespierre..
Insert President here.
(I nearly mistyped “inert President here”… what out for the typos!)
Cutting to the chase.
It works for Jack-In-The-Box!
It’s the Unknown President!
President Blockhead.
“You say you want to see my birth certificate? Well, here it is! My REAL birth certificate!! Just a second while I finish filling it in.”
As President Obama finally becomes one with his beloved teleprompter, he proves the truth of the old adage:
The medium IS the message.
I am the Great and Mighty O! Pay no attention to that man behind the teleprompter!
The photographer is clearly racist, like everyone who criticizes the One.
Barack Obama: voting Present since 2005.

“The White House is denying rumors that the President was on the golf course at the time and replaced at the press conference by a stunt double named Fred.”
“Today President Rorschach unveiled the slogan for his re-election campaign: All the Hope and Change You Can Imagine.”
“Read my teleprompter: No new taxes!”
There is no “there” there.
“No, idiots, I said, ‘The Incredible Shrinking President’, not ‘The Disappearing Invisible President.’”
Photographer takes most honest shot of career.
On a side note. Add this to the latest Newspeak cover,and the rejection by many on the left of the Soptic ad and we might just be having us one of those “preference cascades” Instapundit likes to mention.
Just try to tell if he’s lyin now.
Let me be perfectly clear. No? Let me try again.
Guess who’s field testing Apple’s new iprompter?
Will the real POTUS please stand up?
When compared to the sign of him, the only sign that would be appropriate is;
“BACKWARD”
Speaking before a crowd of supporters in Needmore, IN, President Obama presented the details of his plan to move America Forward.
Like the old Phrase goes… “You are what you read.”
Faceless One…Inferior Being.
Perfect.. now if we could just find a good mute button.
“I serve as a blank screen on which people of vastly different political stripes project their own views. As such, I am bound to disappoint some, if not all, of them.”
Background on the line here:
http://www.americanthinker.com/2012/08/obama_and_the_ghost_of_faulkner_1.html
An open teleprompter is oftentimes a vacant teleprompter.
Look Ma. No brains!
Guess who?
“Does anyone have any windex?”
“Dammit, this is Biden’s prompter!”
I’m at a loss for words.
My mind is a blank.
Read my lips!….Oh.
“Again, I invite you, No,..I implore you, once again, to project all of your your dreams, and expectations onto this screen.”

We can rebuild him! Better, Stronger, Blanker!
Correction:
“Again, I invite you, No,..I implore you, once again, to project all of your your dreams, and expectations onto this BLANK screen.”
A mind is a terrible thing to waste.

That’s Mr. President Airhead to you, boy.
See, it’s like this: When you can’t see where you are going, when you have no idea what is in front of you, where to go, or what to do, you can’t unconsciously steer in the wrong direction! This is why not having a plan is the perfect plan for not repeating the mistakes of the past! And in conclusion, I have a Nobel prize, my left hand is in my pants, and I blame Bush.
First time in my life I ever needed a thought balloon and this happens.
This space for sale to highest bidder.
America’s first blank president.
Bravo!
Threadwinner. After that one, I don’t want to try.

Alas, poor Barack, I knew him … and now how ahhorr’d ….
When polled, 65% of likely voters find the stiff cardboard an improvement over the current incumbent.
“Perfect! Now no one can see he actually has his head up his a**!”
The singularity achieved: One neuron. One plexiglass panel. The One.
It may be a blank piece of paper, but hey, it sure makes a lot more sense.
In his last press conference, people felt the President came off a little flat.
The campaign is worried that the President has been spreading himself a little too thin lately.
Forget the Birth Certificate…… check his manufacture date.
“It depends on what the definition of “Transparent” is”

It’s a rare treat to see such an important politician in mid-transition as he morphs from one persona to another. Good bye to “Hope and Change”.

…Borrowing from an act he recalls from his “choom gang” days…Barack Obama auditions for Americas Got Talent as the “Unknown President.”
…looks kinda opaque for a transparent administration…
In the beginning was a faceless candidate…
The most transparent President in history.
“You can’t hide stuff if you want to be President.”
“Maybe my face is white, but the rest of me is black.”
He’s always been kind of square.
“Put another coin in the slot, to get another 4 years of the Lightbringer.”
(Oh, Lightbringer, son of the morning how thou hast fallen
)
Bless his heart, the President has lost his face.
On a clear day you can see forever
OK, if this is a contest then we need to pick a winner.
My vote:
133. fustian: My God, he’s been a special effect all this time!
We were promised the most transparent teleprompter ever
On a clear day you can see forever or at least forward
“My God, it’s full of stars”
