would any of our government’s political leaders or officials ever dream, even for a split second, of using a fake document?

Never! This is America. (isn’t it?)

Wonder if they can forensically determine whether Obama was photo-shopped into this one, now that his "body man" says he might have been just playing cards with him outside in another room somewhere when Bin Laden was taken out.

FReegards!

There is a HUGE assumption that there is only one light source which is not always the case, particularly in an urban environment. Street lights, moonlight, reflections off of buildings, etc.

Still, interesting work.

This is dumb.

When i photoshop, i makes sure to create the proper shadows for everything. How?

Simple, knockout background, leaving object. Then create a new layer, rotate/warp the foreground object on that layer, take it’s color to opaque. Then apply lighting. Place that layer behind/under the foreground object.

Anybody who has done the a halfway good job of photoshopping figured that our a LOOOONG time ago.

I don’t which is more disturbing

the evidence of so many photoshops of big head barry “obama” or the amateurism of the forgery

“we” the USA are not exactly being manipulated by geniuses here

Why are Granny’s folded hands in Grandpa’s sunglass lens reflection and not 0’s head and/or hand?
