Obama honors El Capitan climbers ... with a picture of himself, natch

Despite the demands of ignoring the Islamist threat and thinking up more “free” stuff for the government to dole out, President Obama has time to follow the sport of rock climbing. He sent out a tweet congratulating climbers Tommy Caldwell and Kevin Jorgeson for free climbing El Capitan. By now we all know that Obama can’t honor someone else without sticking a picture of himself in everyone’s face.

So proud of @TommyCaldwell1 and @KJorgeson for conquering El Capitan. You remind us that anything is possible. -bo pic.twitter.com/XcDwHqv2ry

@WhiteHouse Mr. President, that painting looks like it might be a bit crooked.

@WhiteHouse Wasn't it you who said that no one did anything by themselves? An epiphany halfway through your second term?

Maybe they should rename El Capitan to “Obama’s Ego.”
