President Obama has released his favorite photos from 2012, and boy is this good material for the next several weeks of caption contests. When a man’s ego is soooo big, he just doesn’t realize how ridiculous he looks.
The official White House caption for this photo reads: “A nice way to celebrate the New Year for the President was to jump in the ocean in his native state of Hawaii. He was on his annual Christmas vacation with family and friends, and went swimming at Pyramid Rock Beach in Kaneohe Bay.” Surely you can do better.
Caption this photo of Obama swimming in Hawaii!
Winners will be below the fold on Monday!
It’s Friday which means it is time again for the weekly photo contest. Come up with a funny description of this photo and you just might be the lucky winner to be announced on Monday!

(White House Press Pool – Hawaii) President Obama (peas be upon him) demonstrates his exquisite under-water-walking prowess by treading precisely upon the 5-foot-below-sea-level temperature gradient layer while keeping his head above water.
