So you're implying that the pictures released by the White House are not "deliberate American propaganda"?
The pictures being posted about Obama aren’t deliberate. Why would you deliberately make him look like a fool? Most of the pictures are him just being normal, taking the dog for a walk, eating an ice cream cone, riding a bike with a goofy looking helmet, riding bumper cars with a kid. The staged ones are those in a situation room hunting Bin Laden, foot on the desk etc. I just don’t see these big props like Putin used, or for that matter, what the Clintons did. Remember when the Clintons cut down a treed area and tarred it for a photo op?
