Recently, the MSM were shocked by the news that a girlfriend in Obama's Dreams book was a composite. For many, such news comes as no surprise. The concept of a composite presidency certainly comes as no shock as someone who participated as a contributor and authored evidence presented at Sheriff Joe Arpaio's press conference on Obama's long-form birth certificate report. On the heels of these events -- and taking advantage of an anniversary of the bin Laden raid -- are recent campaign tactics to politicize the killing of Osama bin Laden. With the re-emergence of another round of gutsy call faux heroism regarding Obama's decision, it may also be a good time to revisit the famous "Situation Room" photo released by the White House. Is it Photoshopped? Like everything else Obama does to make a political point, is the photo a composite as well?
Beyond the obvious blurred photo in front of Hillary Clinton, are there other hints of manipulation? A Swedish paper makes the observation that Obama looks like a midget in the chair despite his six-foot-plus stature. When comparing the size of the surrounding people in the photo to Obama, the photo certainly gives the impression that Obama's head (or possibly the entire body) was placed into the photo and resized a tad too small. And as a side-note observation: why is everyone in the room dressed in work attire -- as if they went to work that day -- except for Obama?
Compare the size of surrounding heads in the "Situation Room" photo to the size of Obama's head. Even if you use a perspective argument -- in which objects appear smaller at a greater distance -- then why are the faces behind Obama still larger?

Barry was probably covering his eyes, so they had to p-shop another head shot over that.
ROTFLOL!!
Check out the “Snoopy Surprise” pic in #5! ;-D

Your comparison got me thinking again that it's not two different jackets, it's two different people.
Yes indeedy! Wouldn’t surprise me in the least bit. Notice the difference in the white collars as well, especially in the front and the sharpness of the neck on one and flatness on the other.
That is very well done. Biden still looks like the America-hating pr!ck that he is though.
Heh... where is Lisbeth Salander when we need her?! If only we could get into that photo archive (or someone’s wardrobe).
he he! That is the best one yet!
Notice who is NOT in the ‘situation room’ photo....
Leon Panetta.
Where was he? Apparently CIA headquarters.
Under first photo:
“CIA Director Leon E. Panetta receives an update on the operation against Usama Bin Ladin in a planning meeting at CIA Headquarters on May 1, 2011.”
Under second photo:
“CIA Director Leon E. Panetta smiles in his command center at CIA Headquarters after giving the “go” order to carry out the operation against Usama Bin Ladin on May 1, 2011.”
Panetta gave the ‘go’ order? So where was the real control point for this operation - White House or Langley?
Those flags are damn near touching the ground. Liberals don’t give a crap about things like that.
Here you go.
A great review of the photography. Basically the first picture was taken 20+ hours AFTER the raid.
Given the scenario that the WH aid Jarrett tried to reverse the ‘go decision’ this all falls into place. Panetta was defacto top CoC during the actual raid - in Langley.

Interesting timing of events. Go order given on Friday.
“Last week Obama finally had enough intelligence last to take action. The final decision to go forward with the operation was made at 8:20 AM on Friday, April 29 in the White House’s Diplomatic Room.”
I think the tenseness on Obama’s face is ‘oh @#$#$, they really did it. Now what?” The raid was over 20 hours ago. This operation was not real time monitored by all those people! It was staged photo op. Case closed.
So, in essence, Obama was being given a briefing for something that had already happened and his look reveals a mixture of emotions.. It’s one of those ‘now that it was a success I’m a bit upset I didn’t okay it in the first place’ kind of moments. LOL
I looked at this some more and compared the well publicized photo vs. other situation room photos.
-The table appears to the situation room table.
-The General is sitting in the only ‘executive chair’ in the room. It is a highback that is higher and taller than the others at the table.
-Hillary is sitting in a low back chair. That can be determined by the armrest. It is not leather covered. It is wood. So this is a ‘along the wall’ chair for those not at the conference table. Since the conference room table has highbacks all around it - this is odd that anyone would be in a lowback and at the table. Obama is also in a lowback.
-The worst thing in this photo is the background is obviously manufactured. The corner of the room is way to close to the table in the released Bin Laden Photo and the Presidential seal in the real situation room is not near any trim. It is alone on the wall and in the middle of it. There is no door or hall where those it back appear to be.
So this photo is manufactured for some reason.
Here is a link with the wall with the seal.

It seems the ‘Situation Room’ is used for photo ops for the rappers who visit...
But it easy to see the seal is isolated and not next to a door or hallway.
As for the left hand side. Here is a view of the corner of the Situation room.
http://www.flickr.com/photos/whitehouse/5610345991/
It is not as cramped as the Bin Laden photo and there is window or display with shutters that should have been in the Bin Laden photo. Also, unlike the Bin Ladin photo there is plenty of room in the corner with a row of lowbacks along the wall and room to walk in between them and the highbacks at the table.
The entire background of the Bin Ladin photo is a manufactured image.
For sake of accuracy I need to retract my conclusions. A like that with a video featuring the ‘small’ Situation Room was forwarded to me.
It is here:
http://video.msnbc.msn.com/rock-center/47272339#47272339
It shows the room where the photo was taken.
I wouldn’t retract the conclusion that a photo of Obama’s head was placed on someone else’s body. See ‘jacket comparison’ photos.
I have compared head sizes in the photo just using pixel height. From a pure size comparison its not really off.
Obama head is around 295 pixels +/- a few. Mullen and Donilon’s heads are around 280 pixels +/-. So just from size its not off.
But all this ‘we watched it real time’ seems improbable.
The CIA has posted the photos of Panetta running the show - from Langly!
The pictures all show Sunday afternoon timestamps with people in the same clothes they had on late Sunday night - indicating staged photos during the working day Sunday.
Pretty well documented here:

FWIW, he’s answered that. He said that Adm. Mullen was in this room running the operation while the political folks were across the hall. They could not watch the minute by minute action across the hall so Obama came to this room to watch. When Obama entered Adm. Mullen offered his seat but Obama refused and sat next to him.
