Obama's Lightsaber EpisodeNo, this isn't photoshopped. That's President Obama, nerd-in-chief, wielding a lightsaber on the White House lawn. The photo was taken as Obama picked up a toy lightsaber to fence with US Olympic Fencer Tim Morehouse during an event to promote Chicago's bid for the 2016 Olymipcs.
