I really, really hope this one isn't photoshopped, (as was the one with Bush looking backward thru binoculars).

Photoshop, and a poor one at that. I can see the image manipulations without applying filters.

Is it 3 am? Look at the clock on the wall.

Is that a hand on the floor under the desk?
To: ErnBatavia
It’s manipulated. Look at the horizontal line between his watch and the handle of the cabinet behind him to see some obvious alterations. Depending on your eyesight it may be best to save the picture to disk and zoom with a viewer.
To: Rennes Templar
I don't care if it was photo shopped or not.
Had a sh*tty day and needed a good laugh which this most certainly did, (A REALL GOOD BELLY ONE) after I looked at it closer and realized what the fool was doing.
Thanks!!!

I’m more interested in the intern kneeling under the desk! Perhaps Bill dropped by trying to get Hillary the VP slot and got bored while BHO tried to figure out that whole phone thing!

I can see the image manipulations without applying filters.What happens when you applied the filters? I thought I could see the outline of the cord going to the bottom of the handset, but those appear to be buttons on his cuff instead.

Handset is upside down and no one uses a 30 year-old phone.

To: ErnBatavia
Yes, this is partly photoshopped.
There’s a real picture almost exactly like that, including the oddity of someone crawling under the desk behind Obama.
But the photoshop added the clock, set at 3:00am, in response to hillary’s ad. And it also reversed the phone, so Obama is apparently speaking into the wrong end of it.
The flag was in the original photo. As I recall, only the clock and the reversed phone were changed.

If it’s a government building I can believe the 30-year-old phone part. But you can see the cord above the watch level is all pixellated and doesn’t look like the rest of the cord... plus there are artifacts of editing all over that part of the photo.
To: ErnBatavia
Yep - it’s ‘shopped.
The phone cord looks too sharp.
To: ErnBatavia
I hadn’t heard about Bush looking through binocs backwards, but do remember a pic of Clinton visiting the Korean DMZ looking through binocs with the lens caps in place.

I agree.
The clock was definitely (and poorly) added and the phone was manipulated.
To: EscapedDutch
Thanks. As I remembered it.
I must admit I’m still curious what that guy is doing crawling around under the desk.

Yeah, hard to figure out. Now if it was a photo of the Clinton campaign, it would be easy to figure out....
Sorry.

Good job!
Could till the clock a little, it doesn’t really match the angle of the wall.

This is a reply to post #19 by SeaHawkFan. (I couldn't get the Post Reply link to work for that post.)
you can see the cord above the watch level is all pixellated and doesnt look like the rest of the cord
The cord doesn't look any more pixellated than the face and hands. The only smooth lines are the vertical and horizontal lines, such as the parallel lines in the hand. I also do not see the horizontal line between the watch and the cabinet handle that someone else mentioned. I see only two little dark places on the sleeve that could be wrinkles in his suit.
I see no evidence of Photoshopping, but I'm no expert.

If it is Photoshopped, it’s a very good job.

Look at the horizontal line between his watch and the handle of the cabinet behind him to see some obvious alterations. Depending on your eyesight it may be best to save the picture to disk and zoom with a viewer. I have 20-20 vision and I'm not seeing what you're seeing.
