Here’s the official caption:

Filmmaker Spike Lee uses his iPad to photograph President Barack Obama as he greets guests at the National Action Network’s Keepers of the Dream awards gala in New York, N.Y., April 6, 2011. (Official White House Photo by Pete Souza).

But I know you guys can do better than that.

Keep it clean, play nice and make our drizzly San Francisco Monday.

  5. Mrachal says:

    Wow this camera is crappy! Where is my iPhone 4?

  6. mailorders says:

    The most telling thing about this photo isn’t Angry Lee’s use of an iPad, it’s the handclasp; not much sincerity flowing between those two men.

  7. Lolly says:

    So how do I turn this thing ON?

  8. ubertech says:

    Just…cant….put….it….down…..

    Sorry Obama, Angry Birds is super addictive….

    Spike’s ipad actually has a headshot of himself on the screen…he’s just holding it up over obama’s face to see what it would be like.

  10. Frank Garcia says:

    Hold really really still….there is a giant spider on your back and I intend to kill it. Then I will make a movie about it filmed entirely on my iPad. I shall call it, ” The Obama Spider-Smack Incident,” A Spike Lee Joint.

  23. makowako says:

    couldn’t he be shooting video, too? I would suggest he is, and perhaps asked the President a question as they met (he’s met him before, as well) for use elsewhere.

  26. Christopher Jordan Ortiz says:

    This has to be the biggest Spike Lee Joint yet.

  27. ctt1wbw says:

    Yeah, my movies suck and I can’t make any money which I why I can’t afford a REAL camera, I have to settle for this.

  28. allan says:

    Really hard to write a proper caption for this- something about watching the end of Tyler Perry Madea. You get the idea.

  29. John Commoner says:

    Spike Lee misses an opportunity to finally meet his hero and first African American President, Barack Obama, while reading his twitter feed. “Damn it, I just looked at it for a minute, and I missed him,” said Lee. Apparently the iPad’s 10″ screen was just big enough to block his view as Obama passed by. Rumors of an alleged 7″ Apple tablet, disavowed in the past by Steve Jobs, immediately began circulating again on Apple blogs and twitter feeds across the web.

  32. Robert Pruitt says:

    Everyone thinks I’m taking this photo of Obama but I’m just admiring my pimptastic hat with the front cam.

  33. Studio246 says:

    “Spending, take 5… Aaand… CUT!”

  34. Jack Hickman says:

    I want there to be no doubt that I’m taking a picture of the President, so….

  35. FatMan2fitman says:

    Why is it I amnnot surprised so many responders on this page couldn’t keep it either clean or free of redial stereotypes. Kind of pathetic few could come up with anything actually clever.
