Was Famous Picture of Obama during Bin Laden Raid a Fake?
Big Journalism ^ | 5/19/11 | Nachum

Posted on 05/19/2011 10:41:38 AM PDT by Nachum

Someone sent an email to me suggesting that if you blow up the photo of Obama sitting in the situation room during the OBL raid, it looks "Photoshopped".

Sooooo, you know how much I love a good conspiracy....

Are there any 'puter experts out there who want to take a look and analyze it it? The perspective does look a little small.

What says FReeper Nation?

If it was Photoshopped, it would have been more complementary to Obama.

he is clearly wearing a golf shirt and jacket, which lends credence to the story that he didn’t know this was about to happen and was “fetched” from the golf course.

It could also mean that part of the plan was that he act totally casual and relaxed until the last hour so as not to give a clue that something big was about to happen.

I tend to doubt a photoshop job. If it was, don’t you think they would have fixed it so it didn’t look like obama was sitting at the kiddie table during Thanksgiving dinner.
Ha ha ha.

He’s just making sure someone is protecting Barry’s ball on the 9th.

Did anyone ever figure out what those papers were by Hillary? Kinda dumb to have those publicized.

Didn’t do it on purpose. Multiple posts have been happening to me since yesterday. I’ve seen it happening to others today on other threads as well.

>>>>>>curious that computer screens are blank, yet military man is looking at his computer??????<<<<<<<

He is showing a Power Point presentation others were watching on the large screeen.

I find it odd that nobody commented how small Situation room looks on the picture.

From the pictures available online it can be seen that Situation Room is rather large. There is a huge conference desk at the middle of the room, fixed chair seating around the room

see the size of carpet:

The question is: Why is this particular odd-looking photo selected among 200 photos taken in the situation room?

Faked? In the sense of being staged, maybe, even probably.

And possibly cropped or computer tweaked to make it what the White House wanted.

We can assume that everything nowadays is photoshopped in that sense.

But when you can stage a photo to make it what you want to be, what would be the point of photoshopping people into or out of it?

You're saying that -- what? -- they couldn't get people into the building at some time that day to take a picture so they had to photoshop them in or out of the picture?

That's a strange theory and it's unnecessary to assume tampering in that way given what was possible without photoshop.
