This just brought a tear to my eye.
This made me teary-eyed as well. I lost my mom when I was 21 so she has missed a lot of milestones in my life as well as my [younger] brothers and sisters. Interracial also I sympathize and respect the struggles she endured to raise her son so well. So sad that his grandmother passed away the day before the election.
Honey, when I heard his Grandmother was sick I was actually worried it was a Florida PR trick. Dang, don’t I feel like crap?
You know, when I read he was in the poll booth for 10 minutes – I could only think that he was in there trying to hold it together for the cameras. “If only Mom and Grandma could see me know…”
For all our Grandmas in heaven, and for Grandmas everywhere:
Peace
The dude isn’t even an American Citizen!!!
AND he’s more White and Arab than Black!
He’s more “manufactured” than a Disney Boy Band!
He’s isn’t much more than a Infomercial type Product that you all bought for $19.95! Wait till you find out it doesn’t perform as advertised! HA HA HA! fools
What a hateful angry person you are.
Hawaii admitted to the USA: August 21, 1959
Barack born in Honolulu, Hawaii: August 4, 1961
His mother, Dr. Dunham, was born in Kansas and has Cherokee, English and Irish heritage from her parents.
His father, B.H.O. Sr, was born in Kenya.
Before you begin on the Muslim and socialist fallacies…
His father was born a Muslim but converted to atheist while attending the university where he met Dr.Dunham. He also authored a paper titled “Problems Facing Our Socialism”.
Neither of those make President-elect Obama a Muslim or socialist. He most certainly isn’t Arab.
But even if he was Muslim and/or Arab… when were either of those outlawed in this country? The United States was founded in part for freedom of religion and no one gets to choose the ethnicity (or color) they are born with.
PAY ATTENTION! I said Nothing about his religious or political leanings.
I Just Said: he ain’t “black”, what’s so bad about that? I ain’t “black” nether!
i didn’t say sh!t about socialism at all…
a lil’ over sensitive & paranoid are we?
wow, way to spread that love to mankind. im assuming you are mormon, as your your name is a direct link to a mormon sight… how can you be down with jesus, and be an internet troll. by the way, evolution is real, and judging from the poison spilling forth from you know, you only enable bad memes.
RECAP: Kenya.
The world isn’t ending. Not today at least.
We got ze Lions! only in Kenya! come to Kenya we got Lions!
We got ze Tigers! only in Kenya! Got Lions and Tigers only in Kenya!
Forget Norway!
Kenya!!
Kenya oh Kenya where the Giraffes are and ze Zebra are!
Kenya Kenya Kenya KENYA! come to Kenya!
Kenya Believe it!?!
Tigers live in Asia, not Africa
True.
Lions are often confused with tigers.

That’s adorable!
WHERE CAN YOU SEE PRESIDENTS?
ONLY IN KENYAAA
AND THE ZEEEEEBRAAAAAS
AHHAHAH oh man. I think we are the only 3 to get that joke.
But whatever, I love it!
I got it too… and now the songs in my head, tyvm
More like Snoreway.
Can’t you at least show respect for an elderly woman who has just passed away and missed her grandson (who she raised) being elected President of the USA?
If you supported John McCain, you should listen to his words after she died, and also his gracious, mature and eloquent concession speech.
I guess you’re using your spare five minutes between impregnating one of your 14-year-old wives to get online and spew your bizarre and irrelevant opinions about our new president elect. Waa waa waa, you lost, get over it. And you can have Romney back. He sucked and we never wanted him.
Please, don’t try to fix ignorance and hate with more ignorance and hate. Mormons do not have multiple wives. Fundamentalist Mormons, yes, but not most Mormons. and Don’t go hating on me for defending Mormons. I’m not one, I just don’t like to see people bash other people’s religion.
Those fundies. They tend to give any religion a bad name.
I gots to say, I could bash me a little Mormon. Somebody send a video of a
Mormon marriage ceremony to 20/20 and pop me some popcorn.
according to the great men that founded this country, 1/8 of Black blood
makes you Black. Sooo…with his father being from Kenya-which is not
Arab at all, and his mother is white, then yes-when he is racially
categorized, he is BLACK
read a book or something
ignorance really does nothing for you
You pay attention… you’re talking crazy and if you read I prefaced the religious leanings with “Before you begin on the Muslim and socialist fallacies…”
Pay attention to yourself, you did not say “he ain’t black” you said, “he’s more White and Arab than Black”.
It is bad enough to speak cruelly, but even more foolish to misquote yourself.
why is their hate. it does not matter the color of his skin. but just to let you know his father was BLACK and when you have a BLACK father you are BLACK as you know BLACK is the dominant gene!!! But “OUR PRESIDENT” is not worried about none of our color much less his color. What he is worried about is what BUSH f***** up and how he is going to fix it. So stop the hate and congratulate!!! Because in my eyes and the almighty we are all the SAME. THINK ABOUT IT , WHEN YOU GO TO HEAVEN OR HELL YOU THINK THEY ARE WORRIED ABOUT YOUR COLOR… I THINKS NOT!!!
100 points for the ‘fvck up’ and ‘the almighty’ in the same sentence.
You fail!!
You fail for not being able to see the puncuation in between that makes it different sentences.
You fail for being a dumb @$$
you fail for unfounded comments.
Black is a dominant gene?!
Troll on aisle 7, we’ve got a troll on aisle 7! Froofrou go get the stick!
We may have to get her a bigger stick.
Unfortunately, I will not be donating my wang as a troll beating stick.
Well I didn’t say “you ain’t retarded” but we all know what I meant, now didn’t we.
Great post. This is the “attitude” of America, but the reality is that we have a long way to go to actually be the country we like to advertise that we are. Some of the comments here and in my workplace in the last few weeks, especially yesterday and today, make me ashamed to be a human being, because I share so much with them.
What a world it would be if we were judged on our merit as a person, and not on so many countless other things. Maybe someday.
Don’t bother repeating hard facts to haters. We will bring them kicking and screaming into a brighter future, and don’t expect any thanks.
They don’t vote their own self-interests and they believe the snake oil salesmen who peddle fear and anger. Keep answering the hate and fear with hope and love.
You never actually addressed how he wants to make big government bigger and how it will soon be in every part of our lives (ha, like it isn’t now) because of
him and the rest of the establishment. Democracy always leads people to
bigger governments, and he’s not changing his very socialist views on
everything from censorship to universal health care. But we will look
better in the eyes of the world, that at least I am happy about.
EXCELLENT response Love!!!
Even if her were Muslim, there is nothing wrong with being Muslim. My ex-husband is Muslim, although being from Morocco, he is a wonderful man. Our son, Mohammed II, is Arab-American, and being brought up learning about Catholocism as well as Muslim beliefs so that he can make his own educted decision when he is old enough and knows enough to do so.
Sorry to go off but I get the feeling that some people have their minds made up before they know all the facts. Let me tell you something. What got me about this whole election was that people were ready to throw Obama out and threaten to kill a man because they “thought” he was Muslim, and because he maybe “used” to be Muslim and because he “came from” a Muslim back ground. When 9/11 happened, my son was 14 days old. When we walked out of the house, because of his name, people wanted to kill him. We were taunted in the streets and received death threats daily. A 14 day old baby. Just because of a name and because of a religious affiliation.
Isn’t that exactly what has been done to Barack Obama? Sorry to type so frantically. Just reading to the comments throughout the pictures I this particualr one had finally got me. If I said something that maybe got someones attention, great. If not, then you know you will never have to read this again.
Thank you for your time.

I’m so sad you exist…
Did you guys hear something? Kind of a sad, quiet whining noise, like maybe a hurt puppy hiding under the porch? We should do something, it sounds like it’s in pain. Wait, look, it’s a rabid squirrel. Now that’s unfortunate, you know, rabies is incurable. We’re gonna have to put the poor lil’ guy out of his misery. I know, nobody WANTS to, but he’s likely to lash out in pain and confusion and hurt others. Don’t worry little fella, it’ll all be over soon…
ha ha seth
Dude, Seth, you rock…and “Skearlly Bob” or whatever the fuck your name is…
QQ more n00b.
Cry moar, troll.
Go die in a fucking fire.
LOL @ retarded inbred McCain supporters.
Hail PRESIDENT Obama!
Do you even know what an Arab is you idiot? It certainly doesn’t come from being descended from a guy from Kenya.
Get a map. Get a clue.
Or go find a cave to hide in like your mirror-image hatemongers, al-Qaeda.
LOL Obama’s not an American citizen?
Hmmm…good thing that some random person on the internet was able to catch that, since Washington didn’t. I’m SURE they’ll be announcing McCain’s win by default any second now. Good job, Mr. Holmes!
As for him being “Arab”, he is half caucasian and half African. He attended school in Indonesia in his childhood…you are apparently confused.
As for manufactured, I dunno, he looks pretty lifelike to me.
I wish we could all be as on the ball as Skwearly Bob. (BTW…is that supposed to spell “Squirrely”, or is than an attempt at irony to point out the fact that you’re ignorant?)
You know what always makes me laugh about the birth certificate whackos….they seem to really think that an 18 year old girl in 1961 actually knew so much of the future that when she had her baby in Kenya (yea, and there being no mention of her EVER having gone there not withstanding) she RUSHED back to the U.S. and somehow managed to get the Hawaiin government to forge a birth certificate because she just knew that someday he’d run for president. I mean, as conspiracy theories go, it’s the least plausible scenario I’ve ever seen put forward.
ok Seriously ur a complete dickhead. the man won fair and square and even some people who supported Mcain are ok with it. So please who ever this guy is and people who think like plz plz go find ur closet armory buy a gun and kill ur self for being so dam blind arrogant. also im happy that obama won and i feel sorry his mom wasnt there to see it but i think she is happy and proud.
Yes dr Phil. Thank you dr Phil
May a million rabid squirrels find you, climb up your pant legs, and bite your privates,
May bats scratch out your eyes,
May the Tiki Gods rain Lava upon your home,
May a million wild wolves come and crap in your yard,
And may your fingers shrivel and fall off so that you can NEVER EVER type such disgusting, xenophobic hateful filth again.
– You disgust me and make me ashamed.
Sarah, well said, very well said. Don’t be ashamed – you are a human being and Skwearlly Bob is not. He gives trolls a bad name.
yyeah yeah yeah.
and im sureeeeee McCain wld had been a greeeeeat president with a greeeeeeeeeeeat VP
I’ve never said this before.. but I think it’s appropriate here:
Please, go die in a fire.
We get you’re pissed your candidate lost. So is half the country. But there’s no reason to say something like this on a post that is trying to be serious, thoughtful, and touching. (and succeeds.)
Your facts are wrong, your racism is showing, and so is your hate.
People like you, posting here, like this, give your candidate a bad name.
Please don’t go to any funerals. The rest of the attendees won’t appreciate what you have to say (not even if they’re your family, and probably especially then), and everyone will be happier with you not there.
oooh! “Please, go die in a fire” sounds like a low budget Japanese movie.
The creators of :
“You’re hate doesn’t show”
and
“Irony Fail”
Hawaii is part of the United States AND he was born in Hawaii.
He is 50% white & 50% black (Kenya is in Africa!)
Obama is a brilliant, intelligent man and all of his own skills and hard work.
AND YOU ARE A FOOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
you know, I got an email about the citizenship thing, and the only reply I have is, IF it were TRUE, I suspect McCain would have filed an injunction against him LONG ago, dummkopf
Besides, McCain was born in the Panama Canal Zone. If you’re going to contest Obama’s citizenship based on where he was born, you have to do the same for McCain.
OMG aren’t crazy trolls entertaining??
I can haz a brain nao? thx bai.
Dear Idiot – Hawaii is part of the united states. And let’s clear up the “manufactured”. That would be more Palin, with her 13,000 pr time makeup
artist and designer clothing to make her look somewhat appealing. Oh and
Mccain was born outside the states. You racist idiots don’t get it. This
country was founded that we are ALL equal, ALL the same. President Elect
Obama will be the leader we need. He is a GOOD man and nothing you say
or do or write is going to change that.
Seriously, Mr. “Skwearlly Bob”? You are what is wrong with this country.
And all this time, I thought it was George W. Bush.
He’s actually not Arab at all – his father was African, his mother American. Therefore he is bi-racial and could legitimately call himself African American.
Where did the whole Arab thing come from?? East Africa is not in (or even close to) the Middle East.
Perhaps you have confused Muslim with Arab – they are not the same thing!!
You’re a complete a**hole. I only wish bad things for you.
bob- you’re a racist, ignorant ass. 1st- what difference does it make what nationality is in his background? and 2nd- he actually IS an American citizen b/c he was born here. You can’t be president and not be a citizen. Grow up, read a newspaper, and get a life.
You are so full of hate and cynicism your life must reflect that.
I do not wish to live in your world. Your world is trajic. There IS magic in the world. You just saw it. You are too blind to be aware of the miracles happening all around you.
Spite, hate, racism. These are the words that best describe the life you lead. How sad.
Hug someone. Open your heart. Be glad to be alive! Your time on earth is short.
You can always count on the neo cons for some good ol fashion family value type spewing~
And therefor he has no right to mourn his grandmother?
You are a fucking idiot!
It is for you and people that think like you, that I fervently wish for karma and re-incarnation to be a reality. Then those of your mind(less)set could come back as the embodiment of all the things you hold prejudice against. Think of it….
a Democratic, uneducated, poor, jobless, Muslim, black, 400lb. lesbian woman.
AHHH!!! Cosmic justice! SCHWEET!!!XDXDXD
You fail.
Wow, and his citizenship slipped right past the people who vetted Sarah Palin? I don’t believe it.
But if you can look right at a guy and say he’s not Black, then I commend you on your post-race politics. You’re the shining beacon, alright.
Don’t worry, when he dies, you can baptise him LDS.
wtf
this did not make me LOL.
why is this on here.
Dey sez laffin an cryin iz vrry similur, akktuly.
I cry AN I be laffin,
– all in 1 big cebulashun.
Iz gud. Iz bad. Iz gud…
I was teary eyed the entire election night and when I saw this it happened again. Despite the hate I still see over him being elected I’m still hopeful he can convince people to set aside petty and ignorant hate. I know she is proud of him – we all are
Wow, way too much attention allowed this unworthy troll.
bob, that is. Lest there be confusion.
It made me tear up too.
Mine too, beautiful sentiment
A. Whoever captioned this pic, kudos-well done.
B. to all the morons who replied to this caption negatively-I hope you find out G-d is a big black man before he kicks your ass down to Hell, where you can burn with the other racists and bigots.
C. Have a nice colorful day!
A.To Barmca, you wonderful woman who captioned this pic, kudos-well done.
B. to all the morons who replied to this caption negatively-I hope you find out G-d is a big black man before he kicks your ass down to Hell, where you can burn with the other racists and bigots.
C. Have a nice colorful day!
Me too.
Awww…
all Class…
yes we can! yes we did! yes we will!
yes we can be sorry! yes we did fail! yes we will be a 3rd world country soon
F@kin A!
yawn.
this is so stupid. not funny or clever
You’re just a sad, sorry human being, aren’t you?
Uh, who is the woman hugging Micheal Jackson?
Why is it relevant, why should I care, why are you all so f’ing weird?
Uh that’s Obama with his grandmother…you know, the one who died the night before the election?
jerk
Amazing that you don’t even bother to read the newspapers, watch the news or at least do a simple Google search, where have you been in the last 2 years??? hidden under a rock? in the Kilimanjaro?.
The woman is Madelyn Dunham and the man is Barack Obama, Madelyn Dunham is Barack’s Grandmother (the mother of his mother)she raised him since he was 10 years old with her husband, Madelyn Dunham was a mother to Barack Obama, she was the one responsible that Barack Obama is the man that is today… that is why she is relevant.
Also if you weren’t an ignorant fool you would know that she had cancer and died the day after the election…Please as hard as it may be for a idiot like you could you at least try to show some respect to a person that’s no longer with us? you know like really try.
day before the election hon
You’re wasting your time. It’s just probably some jackass trying to get attention because he can’t get it any other way.
Wow, that’s ALMOST as ignorant as calling every Asian celebrity Jackie Chan.
Indeed… some are Sammo Hung.
and rest.. Jet Li (:
There is that Bruce Lee or Sony Chiba dude too but I don’t think I’ve ever seen his/their work. XD
You know, I had this weird dream once where Iron Chef (the original, not the crap American version) was turned into a Hong Kong Action Movie, with Jackie Chan as Hiroyuki Sakai, Sammo Hung as Chen Ken-ichi, Chow Yun-Fat as Masaharu Morimoto, and Jet Li as Masahiko Kobe… The Chairman playing himself, of course… The Chairman got kidnapped from his limousine after a benefit engagement, and the news makes it back to his castle, where the Iron Chefs rally to action… It was weird, but incredibly awesome at the same time…
I totally want to watch that now…
That beats my dream where I went swimming at a water park and came out of the pool covered in cat leeches. They were shaped like leeches except they were furry (and strangely, calico) and had cat heads and they kept meowing while I was like, “Get ‘em off!! Get ‘em off!!”
LMAO! tears running down my cheeks!
That is disturbing. I remember having a dream about big spiders that would webswing with their butts at me. Spiders coming right at the face… Ugh….
What about Ken Watanabe?
That would be an AWESOME movie.
Then you would LOL over “Good of Cookery,” which is a spoof of
Chow Yun Fat’s “God of Gamblers.”
A couple are Donnie Yen
I love Donnie Yen.
Don’t leave out Chow Yun Fat.
That’s Barack Obama’s grandmother. Hugging Obama, not Jackson. At least compare him to someone he actually LOOKS like.
It’s relevant because she died the day before the election and was like a mother to him.
You should care because he’s the new president and we should probably actually know something about our leaders.
And I wouldn’t be calling a bunch of caring and intelligent human beings “weird” while I try to make an incredibly lame and offensive joke under the alias “humongous great sausage.”
You have a selfish heart of stone.
Bwuh, what? I don’t get it.
His grandmother died 2 days before he found he was president.
Not everything has to be funny or clever.
I thought this was touching.
Stupid and gay, I agree
Grow up and move out of mom’s basement
Epic burn
Says the nerd that’s hidden in the closet of his parents watching gay porn.
Wow, you were just disrespectful to a dead woman AND around 1/10th of the world! Good job, dickhead.
Awww. Yes, she does. At least I think and hope so. RIP, Toot.
Wow, I’m not against Obama or anything but this is just plain maudlin. Bleck.
Yeah. But the sentiment is nice, even if you’re someone like me who believes there’s no guarantee of an after-life.
That is interesting that you find it maudlin. Have you never
lost a close family member?
I said the sentiment was nice. But if you really want to go there, of course I’ve experienced the death of a loved one. I just don’t let my own personal pain deceive me into believing something for which there’s no evidence, regardless of how seductively soothing that belief would be.
*interjects* But! Your personal belief says that there is no evidence.. however, Obama’s religious beliefs say otherwise… and as this post is “directed” to Obama (determined by usage of the word “you”–regardless of the fact that he’ll never read it), then it is relevant, because to him, theoretically, the promise of an afterlife or heaven is real. Evidence or not.
But, then again.. I think USA!USA!’s post was probably more directed to Kariya’s post–as they were the one initially using the phrase ‘maudlin’ and had a more… “negative” post then yours. Maybe they jsut clicked on the wrong ‘reply to comment’. who knows.
It is a very nice sentiment, though.
Yes I have. And it happens. I simply think this is boring. Maybe “Sympathy vote; ur doin it rite” or “Taking one for the team; ur doin it rite” or something would at least be worthy of lols. The internet is about complete unwarrented cruelty. And I voted for Obama, I just think this site is above this kind of humanity.
Stick around for a bit!
We’ll (well some of the others) will make a human being out of you yet!
Awww. That’s a weeper.
America is going to be sorry for voting osbama bin laden
Not likely. Tool. Learn more about American politics before you go spouting off ignorant comments like that.
Erm, I believe he’s a colonial. I’d appreciate you not implying foreigners are that ignorant…
Our country has been down this road.. Theres just some races that cannot rule a country.. Welcome to a 3rd world rank sir
Whites for a start, judging by the last 8 years.
I think they’ve been doing a great job.. You must see Africa .. You’ll love the violence !!
Don’t feed the troll, sweetheart. They just keep coming back for more.
Why is he feeding you?
You’re a dick.
The end.
I knew Saddam had bitter-enders, but who knew McCain did too?
Anyone that followed his campaign with an ounce of objectivity and interest in reading. :p
Big words. I presume this is because anti-American neo-confederates like you are going to wage a terror campaign against the US to overthrow its democratically elected leader? Good look, the last bunch of redneck terrorists to try and kill Obama didn’t get very far because they were barely smart enough to hold a gun the right way round.
Haha! GREAT comment!
I thought it was because cinder blocks don’t make good tires?
Only if you’re a Flintstone…which makes sense, because this guy’s clearly from the stone age.
Go ride the waahmbulance, troll.
Oh from now on in America troll obama rides you hard
Seriously? Are you that ignorant?
Are you actually able to count to twenty without taking your shoes off? I didn’t vote for Obama but get a damned grip. Take your fingers away from the keyboard…your stupidity is showing.
Nope not able.. I have nothing against Obama.. I think he’s great.. so did everyone think about Robert Mugabe
(a very long time back)
You obviously don’t think he is great then, because you think he is an incapable leader because he has African heritage.
That’s hilarious! Nice reference. I bet you’ve been waiting anxiously to use that ever since it was spoon fed to you earlier this morning.
WTF?
Wow. This was the worst caption ever.
Not what I was expecting on this site.
Usually, its funny things. But that made me tear up.
Soo, when the people running the site have a political agenda, captions neither have to be funny or clever? Apparently if the picture features Obama, the site becomes the Family Circus for a moment.
See that little bar near the top of the page where it says “vote”? That is where viewers pick their favorite captions. It isn’t just the folks who run the site who thought this was relevant.
That may be worse then. This is the only person who gets sappy LOLs, isn’t that elevating this politician a little higher than he’s worth? I mean, EVERYONE else gets jokes made at their expense. I don’t think I’ve seen ONE of Obama on this site.
Try to make one. A genuinely funny, witty Obama LOL. It’s hard!
I’ve made a few but I never see them win. I’m even told they are funny but eh. Not funny enough I guess.
Someone doesn’t pay attention. They exist and here are a few, you can look up the rest yourself.

ROCK ON.
There was a sappy one about McCain’s concession speech. Many of the site’s liberal regulars complimented him on it. The core group here in general is capable of empathy for both sides.
In bed… Oh wait, that image burned my brain…
Aww..
Wow…just wow. I’m like choking up right now. My grandmother just died last summer, and looking at this just brings a tear in my eye.
Nice ‘fro on the furst Dude
The so-called “First Dude” got sent packing back to Alaska.
That’s your president. Show some class, if not respect.
*sniffle*
Well done.
For those who don’t get it, it’s his grandmother who died on the 4th in the picture.
And yes, that’s quite possibly the sweetest caption evah!
I concur. Though some of the LOL-cats can certainly make with the misty-eyes too, especially if you’ve got a loved one who’s deployed.
This is quite possibly the only non-funny caption we’ll ever see on punditkitchen, but if ever there was a caption worth having, it’s this one. Props to barmca.
… No, I take back part of this comment. There have been plenty of non-funny captions. But this is the only one that was intentionally so.
Can’t quite agree with you there. A couple of days ago, there was a serious caption about Sen. McCain’s concession speech being the classy thing to do. It was respectful toward him, and so were most of the comments. I thought it was a nice gesture, and quite in the spirit of fence-mending (as was his speech).
I enjoy lols, but the occasional serious comment is OK with me, too.
There was one with Tank Man. That was beautiful too.
That’s a touching one. Well done.
awwww how nice
This comment is not funny, and completely appropriate! I love it!
I was touched. Not funny and thus not in the right spot but I can appreciate it. Some of my lolz are not meant for a laugh. I still like this one.
Neither was the one about McCain conceding with grace, but it was up and got a lot of great replies. There is one glaring difference between the two pictures….
I liked that one too.
The color of the font?
This is one of the best captions I’ve seen in a long time. Hurrah who ever made it, my hat’s off to you.
Way to make my eyes well up at work.
She knew her work on this earth was done… and done well.
Oh you made me cry.
Eh, the people who are flaming this probably just have never lost someone as close as a mother.
They’d understand this a lot more if they had.
I think it’s sweet.
I agree. Partisanship be damned, that’s a nice sentiment, no matter what your political leanings are.
Absolutely.
To the nay sayers…
The mouthings of fools it like the flatulence of pigs, loud, emphatic, pungent, and of no worth to anyone say the one who emitted it.
Yes, it’s mawkish… deal… go beat a loved one or say something nasty to a friend to improve your mood… maybe torture a small animal to death… it seems to be the level of your collective mentality.
In bed… alone… With lots of cream from over self inflicted love.

Nicely put.

If you’re going to steal, steal from the best…
Tom Lehrer! Haven’t heard his name in ages! Funny funny man.
:’]
definitely not fun. but one of the best ive seen.. how sweet
‘08AMA! yes, we did.
You make-a me cry
Nice ‘fro.
So sad, and so sweet. And to all of you assholes who commented up there, I don’t care if you disagree with his politics–but can’t you at least be a decent human being? Don’t you see what a tragedy her passing was for him and his family? I mean come on, show a little respect.
“Decent human being”? this is the internet. We’re all arses here.
Not hatin’, but this doesn’t belong on a humor site.
YOU don’t belong on a humor site if you think everything HAS to be funny. Humor isn’t always laughing, humor isn’t always making fun of someone. This is is fitting for the site in that it makes one smile – out of sappiness, partly – but also out of thruthiness. It’s not like they’re showing puppies cuddling or rainbows. It’s a real (somber) LOL, and those exist, too.
What does that even mean? LOL
“You don’t belong on a cooking site if everything has to be edible.”
“You don’t belong on a skateboarding sites if you have legs.”
“You don’t belong on forums trolling honest opinions if you don’t have anger issues.”
On a more “PK” type note, Barry Da’Bomber looks like a pimp in that picture.
Nice.
Ignoring all of the idiots still fighting over an election that’s been decided…
This picture and its caption is lovely. Thank you, to whoever made it.
You made me break into tears at work! NOT appreciated, damnit!
It’s a beautiful sentiment, though. I hope you’re right.
This pic (among other things) made me realize how lucky I was to have had as much time as I did with all four of my grandparents. I don’t know if I believe in an afterlife, but it was a blessing to have their love and strength and wisdom in my life.
This may be sweet, but it’s not FUNNY. Isn’t that what this place is supposed to be about… teh funnies??
Bathos and Pathos have always been siblings. Deal.
This is awesome. I don’t care that it’s not funny. It’s so sweet.
R.I.P. Toot.
Aww!
Man, I feel so sorry for Obama. Makes it a bit of a bittersweet victory.
I’m willing to bet that every single ignorant, hateful comment here are people who voted for the other guy.
QQ more, he lost, get over it.
This one is beautiful. I almost cried.
Thanks, everybody.. for commenting on my Caption.

For the people who can’t appreciate my humane caption, thats fine… but maybe they also don’t realize this: That all comedy is based on suffering, difficulty, trouble, sadness and heartbreak. You can dissect any caption you have favorited, and then look for one of these things to be the baseline of what is underneath. All comedians know this…….. comedy is like a coin, it has both sides, or it cannot exist….it’s like cops and robbers…. and all good comedians have a true humanity to their comedy…….
And sometimes an event happens, and cuts through the comedy clutter….and you just gotta get real…. and you just want to get real….
THANK you! I was just trying to explain this to a douche up there. ^
It’s not haha funny, it’s appropriate funny.
Thank you so much for the pic and caption. I was so touched by it!
Like many said, despite your politicial leanings or lack thereof… most anyone can relate to losing a loved one and having them miss out on important life milestones. I am bewildered how anyone can do anything other than appreciate or ignore it; hate and denigrating it just is ignorant.
Thanks again, barmca!
Humor can be dissected as a frog can, but the thing dies in the process and the innards are discouraging to any but the pure scientific mind.
E. B. White (1899 – 1985)
I definitely agree… you don’t want to REALLY dissect a frog! You just want to see the frog — but if you do dissect it, as is this discussion, there you will find the innards…. guts, blood, and all !!
Thank you – I have been reading all of the other comments and was pleased to see you responding – I cannot think of a better thing to say – your caption is perfect and human.
Sorry, I posted ‘Bathos/Pathos’ before I saw this. Kudos for putting it better than I did.
In some respects, this is mythic. The woman who raised the 44th President died the night before he won. Moses in sight of the Promised Land and a thousand other legends from a score of cultures, played out on a 21st Century canvas…
Yes, it is TOTAL mythic… Major mythic…. thanks for your observation…
Like when Margaret Cho, or Carlos Mencia, or the late great George Carlin would bring up serious stuff.
I just want to thank everybody who appreciated my caption. I really thank you for telling me….
OHHHHH! LOL not supposed to make me cry! But verra lovely, thanks.
It was very nice of you to do this…well done.
This was awesome. And I fully believe this belongs on this site just as much as the lol’s do.
This is a caption site, that doesn’t mean it always has to be funny.
I have to admit, I teared up.
Rest in Peace, Grandma Toot. Your boy will be just fine.
I think it’s absolutely fucking fantastic he wrote a book, “Dreams from My Father,” the worthless man who abandoned his mom and him. Yet his grandmother, who raised his closet-racist ass, gets mentioned of course-but never as much as his father.
Fucking seriously, congrats to all the idiots who voted for this creep. The best part about the outcome of voters, majority of polls/interviews/surveys of black people who vote for him knew NOTHING about his policies/political platform; they voted for him merely because of his race-half at that, I may add.
His grandmother deserves more than his low life father ever did/will.
Don’t lie. You didn’t read that book.
Your vulgarity aside, I agree that his book focused more on the “have not” instead of the “haves”. But that seems to be human nature, to take for granted what we have and to always dwell on what we’re missing instead of what we have.
No one said Obama was perfect. Even he said that had he known while he was writing his book DFMF that his mother was so sick he would have made more of it about her. But, the reality is he didn’t and he laments that. Perhaps he will find time and write about all of his successes achieved through the strength of his maternal family. =)
A lot of children from single-parent households miss- and dream- of the absentee parent. It’s natural to want both parents. But hopefully when they grow up they look back and appreciate the parent that was there.
Beautiful. That’s all I need to say.
Touching caption. Thank you. How sad that she didn’t live to see him win, but I agree — she does know. When Obama takes his oath of office on the steps of the Capitol, he will be standing on steps constructed with the labor of African slaves, men and women bought and sold like livestock. I also think that somehow that they will know, too, and rejoice.
I know I’m not the only one who wanted to cry when they saw this.
Satan told her upon arrival
Stay classy.
By ’stay classy’ you mean ‘keep shagging Lascar sailors three at a time in harbour timber yards cos you like it’? Otherwise it’s a ‘class’ I’ve not encountered outside of people who give crack to kindergarten children
Yeah, pretty much the type of classy I was going for. I was just trying to avoid a bunch of troll poking. It wasn’t worth an actual response.
I was supplying translation for the hard of thinking…
Oh man, I love this caption and I’m a big fan of Obama, and Toot sounds like a wonderful person and I’m very sad she died… but man you just made me laugh more than I’d like to. Harsh, very harsh, but funny. Points to you, sir. Points.
WIN!!!1!!!1
Aww…teary-eyed now.
LIBERALS BLOW
Yes, they just BLEW away the GOP big time and nationwide.
gop gets PWNED!!!1!!
Totally sweet and blubbing my eyes out. Perfectly done BARMCA!
Awesome, very touching. Love is the answer, not fear. We will heal the country we all love.
To those that question this picture’s inclusion, I have to ask: what’s the big deal? This may be a site that is generally satirical, but is certainly room for the occasional serious/sober picture and caption. It’s reflective of your lack of ability to adapt when encountering things you do not expect.
As for the trolls, although you’ve irritated plenty of users here, I should point out that ultimately, you’re caricatures of buffoonery, whose posts confirm for the rest of us the real dangers of aliteracy (different from illiteracy) and limited education, and the notion that there may in fact be a segment of the population worthy for the rest of us to dismiss as useless anvils dragging the rest of society down.
As for everyone else, let us enjoy these turn of events, and view the next four years with all due optimism. Just remember that optimism is not enough; we need to be willing to sacrifice of our conveniences and irrelevant luxuries as much as we expect the wealthy to pay a more proportionate share of taxes and expect the Executive branch to return to a more responsible style of governance. This is an opportunity to show the world, those that did not vote for Obama, and even ourselves, what we can do.
I know we make fun, and poke at the people who are running, but I’m so glad that sometimes someone realizes it’s time to be kind.
Thank you so much for being that person! This made me sob into my laptop!
Anyone know how to get tears off anti-glare screens?
This rocks SOOO much!
I think this is so sweet.
This was an extremely sweet picture, and I’m glad I got to see it. I think he knows that she knows.
this thread reminds me of
shit, it didnt post it… nevermind
You sir, just melted my heart.
I’m not a sir, i’m female. but thank you!
Some people are truly terrible. Even if you are so spiteful as to not like the guy; even if you think he’s some terrorist socialist or you actually bought into the bull that Fox News was selling… Obama is still a person, and this picture is beautiful.
A. Plus.
this was very touching
Aw shucks, now you went and brought a tear to my eye with this caption.
Well done!
And I do believe she knows. =)
Not my president
he is now just wait a few more weeks
