Reuters v. AP

Camera flash.

Thanks Maggief, great post.

Most obvious photoshop since the one about the missiles.

[Maverick68]

Man, those two dudes are ugly...

[Jedidah]

Not sure what the point is here. She looks terrible in both pictures.

[nutmeg]

Michelle and Hussein appropriately attired in Commie Red...

[ThreePuttinDude]

She has always reminded me of one of the gals that walks
around on Halsted St.

I’m just sayin’

[Dr. Thorne]

"Eeeeeew. He touched me. I'm gonna hurl."

[agere_contra]

Ah dayum, I suppose it *could* be a flash at that. Glint in Obama’s eyes, the bright face of the guy bottom right, and the deep shadows of Michelle’s arms.

[Citizen Soldier]

Wearing Marxist red - she is dressed in an evening party dress yet visits the queen in her casual dress, she has no class on how to dress appropriate to the occasion, embarrassing.

[a fool in paradise]

Or Condi Rice's eyes...

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

Looks like the suit is made from Shantung silk. That’s why the ‘sheen’.

[ari-freedom]

well also look at Obama’s tie

[BigFinn]

Where’s the belt? Fashion gurus want to know.

[Jedidah]

“Properties” shows same source for both photos. I think they both originated with the AP photographer, taken a few seconds apart, flash involved.

[trisham]

It does appear to have been altered.

[maggief]

[nuconvert]

? what are you getting at?
what would be the point?

[RummyChick]

glad to see she isn’t wearing her suicide belt and her top unbuttoned like a hootchie mama.

[Jen]

She had to leave the ammo belt at the metal detector check point.

[thesearethetimes...]

Politics aside - as if Condi needs any help in the intensity department, lol.

Tatt

[agere_contra]

Thanks Jedidah. And my apologies to Maggief: I egged you on to post this, and it looks like it wasn’t a photoshop after all.

Still: it’s remarkable how hideous Michelle looks in red under a bright light.

[combat_boots]

Red and black. Always red and black at big events........

[fso301]

At least she’s wearing something reasonably normal.

[dead]

I just think one’s a better picture than the other, possibly different photographers, or different camera settings, and a flash.

[trisham]

Completely inappropriate:

[maggief]

For cocktail hour. JMO

[ari-freedom]

with michelle obama anything goes

[Southside_Chicago_Republican]

In the photo on the right, she’s just about to touch His hand, which no doubt caused the aura.

[Retired Greyhound]

"Michelle and Hussein appropriately attired in Commie Red..."

Of course. It's a shout out. Remember their election night attire? That thing is practically a Marxist flag.

[Darnright]

>Ah dayum, I suppose it *could* be a flash at that. Glint in Obama’s eyes, the bright face of the guy bottom right, and the deep shadows of Michelle’s arms.<

It looks like somebody oversaturated the color on her dress, by using Photoshop. I just don’t think flash would have that effect.

[EggsAckley]

She always looks like an insolent, angry high school girl who doesn’t approve of the place she’s told to sit.

[Night Hides Not]

A couple of those buttons are ready to pop!

Should have added more urugula to her diet.

[maggief]

Could be, just asking the question.

Interesting how the gap in her dress is not visible in image 2.

[maggief]

[Jedidah]

I think the thread is justified. When the First Lady of the United States persists in appearing in public looking this bad, it deserves notice and comment.

[Karma Police]

Two different photographers. (AP and Reuters)
Two different moments (slightly)
Two different cameras (one with a flash)

[agere_contra]

Lordy, what a frump she is.

Does everyone else bring their spouse to the UN?

[ItsMeOK]

Wow really?
No one noticed the different guy in the foreground, the landing on the stairs, the height of the picture on the wall. etc.

[1_Rain_Drop]

Good Lord woman! Sit UP straight!

Miishelle is such a disgrace. Truly, she looks like a date Zero picked up on some corner (Acorn funded)

[Buckeye McFrog]

Yes, Dear, I’m afraid that outfit DOES make your hips look fat...

[trisham]

That dress is so ugly.

[ConservativeMan55]

It matches her face.

[trisham]

Yes. She usually has an unpleasant look on her face.

[w_r_ranch]

Yes it was photoshopped and whoever did it was not very proficient at it’s use.

[agere_contra]

In the second photo Michelle does look like a radioactive beetle from a 1950’s film. Our intial disbelief was warranted :0)

But I now think it was just a powerful flash. After all, why would AP or Reuters try to make her look like her face was all oily?

[FReepaholic]

Obviously Photoshopped. I mean, look at the two guys in the lower right. They're not the same.

Sheesh...people need to get a life. It's called a camera flash.

[kcvl]

Why doesn’t someone fit Michelle’s clothes for her? She always has on something too small for her body! At least, this outfit looks better than some of that other crap she has been wearing.
