If You Can’t Sway ‘Em Based on the Merits…

…then dazzle ‘em with contrived photo ops. The White House handed out white lab coats to the doctors who showed up at a rally for ObamaCare yesterday.

So, if the president ultimately listens to the Biden camp on Afghanistan, is he going to trot Joe and his merry band of civilian advisors in front of the cameras decked out like an old-school South American military junta?

Update: Are We Lumberjacks? has an even more devastating photo.

We truly are in the hands of one-third of the Stooges. The other two are in Congress (ahem... Nancy and Harry).

More like three hundred stooges - and at Thermopylae, too!

The scene is reminiscent of playing as a child. Obama "plays" president while the doctors "play" non-partisans.
