'I Can Haz 2nd Turm?': Obama Pic Goes Viral

Campaign stump photos may seem like a dry lot, but this pic by the AP's Carolyn Kaster of President Obama at a rally in Iowa is a bit more unusual than most. A perfectly placed outdoor light, an upward camera angle, and a ruffled, robe-like outfit all combine to make it look like Obama had some kind of magic wizard thing going on. This being the age of Buzzfeed and Meme Generator, it didn't take long for the image, with captions superimposed, to go viral, reports MSNBC. Some of the popular ones:

  • Salutations Muggles
  • I'm not sure what the Romney/Ryan energy plan is ... but here is mine
  • Has crystal ball, still doesn't know what Biden will say next
  • If you're having girl problems, I feel bad for you sun
