Apparently, my previous article on the famous "Situation Room" photo tapped a nationwide nerve. The response ranged from some eye-opening tips on other photos to a few perplexed criticisms as to the motivation for Photoshopping a Situation Room photo.
The answer to that latter question can be summed up in one simple thought: To hide the truth. Obama was out golfing while the OBL mission was unfolding, and the administration needed the Situation Room photo op for public perception -- to give the illusion that he's presidential.
Obama's entire "Composite Presidency" and administration are orchestrated in this fashion. Not only is the photo's legitimacy in question, but so is the narrative illusion behind it. Obama knew of OBL's location for a year and refused to act. The CIA admits that there was "no live video feed," as implied by the iconic White House photo. It is anyone's guess what the captive audience was looking at, but it wasn't the OBL raid. It was recently reported that a highly lawyered CYA memo was drafted that made it clear that the military would take all blame for any errors, while Obama would claim all glory for successes. Not surprisingly, the real heroes seem to have a problem with this form of spiking the ball and using our brave SEALs for political gain. Why would Obama need to Photoshop the Situation Room photos? For the same reason behind everything else he does: to influence perception in which everything is about Obama.
As a follow-up to the previous article, a second "Situation Room" photo will be the target of discussion here.

Remember that this gang has been known to doctor images in the past. It fits a consistent pattern to make Obama appear to be something he is not. That kind of thing lends itself to questioning the authenticity of everything they put out, tin foil or not.
BWAhahahahahahahahahahahaha
LOL!
The Justice League pic is awesome!
Why shouldn’t the white collar be showing there?”
Anyone with even a minimal amount of Photoshop training can demonstrate exactly how the lazy application of the Photoshop tool caused this.
I sense your fear.
Actually, you can see grocery bags under his arms when you lighten it.
You're confusing extreme skepticism with "fear". What you want to be true in that pic just isn't. The white collar is where it should be and his shoulders aren't unusual for a man sitting hunched over. Whether it's photoshopped or not, I don't know, but what you've offered as "proof" is just more birther wild-assed speculation.
He's wearing a big puffy jacket, which is bloused out more than normal. I think that's why he looks bigger than he is.
My thoughts exactly. Obama may be photoshopped into this image, but it would be a complete image added. They would not have added a body, then the shoulders (oops, hunched them too much), then a collar, then a head (oops, didnt cover that collar). There is nothing wrong with those aspects of the image of Obama. He does appear to be a little small, so could indicate he was added, but that alone is not enough to confirm it.
I was paying more attention to the pixelization around the water bottle. It is an awfully dark edge around that bottle considering Obama's white shirt is the background. For comparison, see the top edge of the laptop with Biden's light colored shirt as the background.
In the new picture, with a primary view of Obama's back, who is the woman to the left with the black & white shirt? Is that Audrey Tomason, the same woman in the background of the first picture? I would say it is not, but if it is, the shirt and hair do not match in the two pictures.
And I have to give some credence to a previous poster who suggested that the head visible in the back left of the second picture, behind the guy in a striped shirt, sure looks like that could be Obama.
You're wrong.
A reasonable person can see that for the collar to appear next to the ear, as it in the photoshopped picture, would require the entire shirt collar on that side of his neck to be standing upright. Which it clearly is not. Also there is no shadowing of the "collar" as it approaches the ear. For that part of his "collar" to appear in such a fashion would require it to be lighted horizontally at a close range. The photo was taken from above Obama, at a distance, and clearly shows no such horizontal lighting. In addition, it would also require Obama's jacket collar to lay nearly flat exposing its lighter underside at just that section of his neck. Which is clearly is not. I hope this helps you.
Holy hell. So many people are in on this scam. Photogs, editors. One day someone’s gotta talk.
“NOFORN” isn’t a codeword. It’s a designation indicating that the information contained is not releasable to foreign nationals.
Well, that is ironic. The Commander in chief is still an Indonesian national.
