It’s still a mystery why President Barack Obama was holding a baseball bat during his telephone conversation with Turkey’s Prime Minister Erdogan earlier this week. An official White House photo shows the president with the bat in one hand and a phone in the other.
White House Press Secretary Jay Carney was asked about the photo on Tuesday and promised get some answers but so far nothing.
The photo is getting quite a bit of attention in overseas publications wondering about “hidden messages” or the “symbolic meaning” of the president holding the baseball bat…

Erdogan sent him a cluebat, and not having a clue what it’s for, Uhbama is calling to ask.
PS: He’d never think it’s a baseball bat – that’s too American.
Something out of “The Untouchables”? After all, it’s the Chicago way …
^ Your avatar hurts me :)
Is he carrying it or fondling it?
What could be the hidden message in him handling a big white phallic object?
Um maybe Romney should check all the ceramics for supper glue before Obama leaves.
It’s veiled threats and a precursor to the type of regime that is about to take over this country when he is re-elected by the drooling fucking morons that he’s suckered, bussed in, created, resurrected, or otherwise conned into voting for him.
If that were Romney, there would be no mystery.
The press would call it a gaffe.
Is that Statue of Liberty giving him he finger?
He’s just remembering his old college days…
• He wanted to be able to say, “No, you didn’t interrupt. I was just chokin’ the old bat.”
• I’m tryin’ to taper-off golf, so I’m usin’ a substitute grip.
• Anxious to head for a campaign trip to Louisville.
• At least he wasn’t doin’ what Bill Clinton was doin’.
• I like baseball. (danintampa beat me to it)
He misses Rahm.
After watching OBoBo throw a baseball, I don`t EVEN wanna watch him try to hit one!!!!!!!!!!!!
“Who put THIS in my golf bag!”
Put him on suicide watch now.
I just noticed his thumb.
Isn’t that the equivalent to holding your little pinky out when holding a tea cup?
It’s obogo’s pathetic attempt to show the world that he can talk softly and carry a big stick. He’s trying to channel TR by reverting to the supposed African origins of the the famous quote. I really don’t think o is really capable of thinking this one up on his own, it was probably Puff, the Axe or even the Jar.
“He brings a baseball bat to a knife fight!”
He is symbolizing Al Capone?
What a failtard.
Wookie’s dildo?
It brought this to mind.
His putter was in the wash.
Well, y’know, some people like to hold a fuzzy blanket when they’re under stress, some people like to twiddle steel ball bearings in one hand, others like something hard to hold on to.
We know that he’s left-handed, so that’s his “swingin’” hand.
It’s PEANUT BUTTER JELLY TIME

It’s peanut butter jelly time, peanut butter jelly time, peanut butter jelly time
(Chorus:)
Where he at 4x
There he go 4x
Peanut butter jelly 4x
Do the peanut butter jelly, peanut butter jelly,
Peanut butter jelly with a baseball bat 2x
eVERY picture this scum has taken is for a purpose. NO pic wold go out of that oval office WITHOUT the approval of Jarret and others. There WAS a whole purpose to that and it is as some of you have commented: Chicago way. Don’t Fluke with me.
Lloyd: Yeah, but Obama ain’t no Don Corleone. To the rest of the world, he just looks like an idiot.
Guess what? OBoBo`s PR roids released that pitcher with the press release describing his phone call with Ergodan, the HMFIC of Turkey.
NOW, All of Turkey is pissed at OBoBo! Nimnobots……
Col J, you left out the W:)
Back in the day, I remember it as MFWIC, pronounced miff wick!
