President Obama Shakes Hands With A Man Wearing A Horse Head

President Obama arrived in Denver Tuesday evening and appeared slightly taken aback as he greeted a man wearing a horse head.

New York Times photographer Doug Mills posted this photo on Twitter of President Obama greeting a man in a horse head Tuesday night.

People immediately reacted to the photo:

Pool: "One onlooker wore a large horse head, but it's unclear what message he hoped to convey to the president."

The lady in the back has the right idea.

It's Denver. The guy is just high. MT @dougmillsnyt: Obama is greeted by a man wearing a horse-head.

"Wanna go see the president?" "Yeah, definitely. Just let me grab my horse head mask."

By this time tomorrow, horse head Obama handshake guy will have a show on Spike TV.
