Cspan now has photo on their website of Obama at BP Press Conference with US Flags behind him.

Sort of like the way Stalin doctored his photos?

You got it... the press fakes history to our fearless leader look good

[Robert A Cook PE]

Thank you.

FreeRepublic may have done it again!

[Robert A Cook PE]

Pingo! 8<)

[Robert A Cook PE]

I’m disappointed in you. That’s clearly a fake picture.

(No teleprompter.)

[GeronL]

lol

You would think that a few days before Memorial Day, the WH could scrounge a few US flags.

Has the White House apologized and/or released a statement for their earlier ‘oversight’? [Which, btw, I don’t think could have been a mistake unless they’ve fired everyone in the press and protocol departments that knows a dang thing!]

"Sort of like the way Stalin doctored his photos?"

The photo shows what happened to Commissar Yezhov, head of the secret police, after he lost favor among Stalin in 1939. Stalin not only had the guy shot, but tried to wipe out every record of his existence. Documents were altered, photographs were retouched, and even family members were threatened with replacement by doubles if they didn't play along. “We can always find another widow for Lenin” so said Stalin to Lenin's real widow, whom he hated.

We have a hard core Marxist in the White House. He is using the same tactics Stalin did in his control and manipulation of the media, and re-writing of history. The more things change, the more they stay the same.
The bad news for 0bozo is, Lenin and Stalin and Mao and all these Marxist dictators didn't have the internet to worry about. 0bozo does.

This is hugh.

[central_va]

The flag is there. You just can't see it because Obama is standing on it.

LOL, I guess he pushed Bill Ayers out of the way then.....

We all know that CSPAN is a wholly owned subsidiary of the democrats.

If they are chocolate chip cookes, I want some!!!

Perception is reality for many of the sheeple.

For my part, I wouldn’t care that the anointed one NEVER appears anywhere near a US Flag in the future. He is an enemy of this nation, its heritage, and the promise that was its future. He has managed to bind future generations with the yoke of his own profligacy. He has undermined the legitimacy of this nation on the world stage by his incessant apologies. And, he has perpetrated the greatest fraud on the American people in the history of this grand experiment, aided and abetted by the self-serving socialist progressives in the House and Senate.

No, his appearance with the US Flag is hardly a testimony to his patriotism, or it would have been in place from the very beginning, not Photoshopped in at a later date. It would be better if he just admit that the US Flag is a reminder to him of all that is evil about America (everything, in his view).

It’s time to take back the country.

"Why is the guy on the right with his back to us wearing a yarmulke?"

Because he's Jewish?

[opentalk]

looks like they just used the same photo from an earlier speech, Jewish Heritage month speech

[Humal]

Good catch, Retired Intelligence Officer. I sent your post from yesterday to Rush, but don’t know if he mentioned it. It would be a good point to hammer, though.

[this is my country]

Sorry I don’t remember how to post pictures, but why is the first one so grainy? If its a file photo would that, necessarily, mean that the resolution is bad?

[Guenevere]

No need to apologize...

..it's not as if we didn't know he disrespects the flag, the pledge, the country....

Sorry I don’t remember how to post pictures, but why is the first one so grainy?

Because I had to enlarge it a lot in order to show the different colored tie. The original pic at c-span was very tiny.

original pic from c-span

You have to scroll down to the bottom of the c-span page to select 'next' pages. A really dopey system. None of the pics are even dated. As of now, the pic is on page 2.

You have to spread this bigtime. Everyone should send it to everyone.
