In his definitive 2010 biography of Barack Obama, "The Bridge," New Yorker editor David Remnick features a photograph of a dapper young Barack Obama sitting between his grandparents on a Central Park bench.
The bench is real. The grandparents are real. The wall behind them is real. Barack Obama is not. He has been conspicuously photoshopped in. Who did this and why remains as much a mystery as Obama's extended stay in New York.
In late October 2007, the New York Times ran a telling article on Barack Obama headlined, "Obama's Account of New York Years Often Differs From What Others Say."
Given that he was an announced candidate for president, and an underdog at that, the Times expected Obama to welcome the chance to reconcile his account in his memoir, "Dreams from My Father," with the accounts of those who knew him.
"Yet," lamented the newly neutered Times, "he declined repeated requests to talk about his New York years, release his Columbia transcript or identify even a single fellow student, co-worker, roommate or friend from those years."
A campaign spokesman, Ben LaBolt, offered a painfully lame explanation for Obama's reticence, "He doesn't remember the names of a lot of people in his life."

Only in the weird wacky world of WND, could an obviously Photoshopped picture be used as an "original" to prove that the original is Photoshopped.
Beam me up, Farah!
Missing year? Prison? Rehab?
The knee got me as well. I guess it is possible that in the original photo it is a conveniently shaped shadow, but that is unlikely. It appears more like he was removed from the photo, as opposed to added. This would raise a whole other series of questions. But, the knee?!? It looks like an amateurish grasp for something.
Everyone says Ayers/Dohrn were terrorists in the 60’s when obama was a child- but they (and obama) were at Columbia in the late 70’s/80s when the Brinks robbery and other acts of terror and crime were occurring in NYC, related to the anti-apartheid movement of which obama claims to have been a member while at Columbia, also tied into the black panthers and militant black reparations movements (check out the December 4 Movement, D4M)
If you start tracking names of these D4M people like Dohrn, Eve Rosahn and others, who were part of the scene during the time when obama was at Columbia, you find a lot of interrelationships among these old radicals and agencies and “think tanks” and “foundations” and orgs that have lately crept into our govt policies like sewage
Also pay attention to the plethora of radicals who come out of the woodwork on or about December 4th
Exactly. That's why it's called "Wing Nut Daily".
exactly. There is enough about this guy that doesn’t add up without anyone inventing things.
(anti apartheid, black panthers/black reparations as “social justice”)- all causes dear to his black liberationist marxist hugging heart
If you were a 20-something yr old obama, would you sooner bust for poli sci exams? or mingle and flop in apartments all around the NYC Boston and CT Ivies with exotic petty Paki muslim druggies homos and criminals, flattered and raised up as a black man genius by rich liberal 30 yr old students (many anti-Jewish Jews) who hate Daddy but live off his money, go to rallies at which acid is sprayed into the faces of white cop pigs trying to stop antiapartheid protests, and plot Brinks and bank robberies with the awesome dudes from legendary weather underground, to take money from the white oppressor and give it to the brothers?
“Community Organizing”, thass what I'm talking about
Some say he was “created” by the CIA.

This is an interesting video on photoshopped obama photos
Donald is doing the other Republican candidates-to-be a great service. He’s allowing them to “rise above” the issues of Obama’s past knowing that Donald’s going to do the dirty work.

some interesting background and history,to pursue for further research and reading
looking at the images of shadows reflected in the eyes the program could prove conclusively if someone was Photo-shopped into a photo...
....anyone got a link..?
Bump.
very interesting
and very discouraging
wtf
It works every bit as well as photoshop.
That’s the same video that’s linked in the WND article. And there was a separate FR thread discussing the video/photos recently as well. It wouldn’t surprise me to find out WND mines FR for source material.
I just watched the “msNBC’ interview of Trump. I think there is more going on here then we think. Why would nbc, after ALWAYS attacking conservatives, let Trump, who WORKS for NBC hurt obama?
1. He's going to say he found the birth certificate and its genuine and it goes away for Obama.
2. As some have mentioned here, he's helping Hillary.
3. He's trying to split the party so obama wins.
I'm sure there are other things I have not thought of, but I think he's playing us.
Oops. I meant to post this on the “Trump sends investigators to Hawaii”. Sorry
Living with William Ayers, who most believe paid for his schooling and wrote his “autobiography.”
