“Your father’s coming to see you,” Ann Dunham told her ten-year-old son Barack Obama, Jr. before a month-long Obama Sr. Christmas visit in 1971, as narrated in Dreams from My Father. Obama Sr.'s Hawaii visit, reportedly part of a "recuperation" after a "bad car accident" in Kenya, included "drives" around "the island," "short walks past" "the remodeled hospital where [Barack Jr.] had been born," and "a talk" to Barack Jr.'s fifth-grade class about "wild animals" that "roamed the plains" of Kenya. And, most importantly, Obama Sr.'s Hawaii visit gave credence that Obama Sr. was, in fact, Barack Jr.'s father.
1. A lesser-known photo, with a Daphne Barak credit and appearing on "anti-birther" websites, does show Obama Sr., Ann, and Barack Jr. at a "Christmas tree," but neither an "orange basketball" nor a "tie" is seen. Furthermore, Ann's arms are outstretched, handing a large Christmas present to Obama Sr., with the present balanced on two of her fingertips and on Obama's Sr.'s left hand – yet, simultaneously as Obama Sr.'s arms are crossed, he somehow hands a smaller Christmas present to Barack Jr., similarly balanced on both of Obama Sr.'s and Barack Jr.'s fingertips, even though Barack Jr.'s hand is awkwardly at his side and he is kneeling at a distance farther from Obama Sr. than a sitting Ann. The Daphne Barak "Christmas tree" photo is apparently fake
2. Two well-known photos associated with Obama Sr.’s 1971 visit, with an Obama for America credit, appeared in the following Obama biographies: Janny Scott's 2011 A Singular Woman, Sally Jacobs's 2011 The Other Barack, and David Maraniss's 2012 Barack Obama: The Story.

that's Frank Marshall Davis given zer0 a reacharound.
.... Sr.s hair in the first photo is longer than his hair in the second photo. The top half of the Christmas tree on the RHS of the first photo is definitely photoshopped ... possibly using a clone brush.
.... Awe.... disregard what I said about the Christmas tree on the LHS ...... looks like there is actually a sign hanging from the ceiling that is blocking the upper half of the Tree .... that explains that anomaly. However Sr’s hair definitely appears longer in the first photo. Could also be some kind of illusion though.
I can’t see your picture.
Obama is the biggest fraud ever perpetrated on the American people and there needs to be an honest accounting.
Obama’s hands don't match
No kidding.
Try this one:
It may still be a fake, but Obama's hands are different.
1) By this point there are so many photoshopped versions of one sort or another out there, that the discussion is complicated. Maybe some of the people questioning the fakes actually created them.
2) Why release an obvious fake if you were Obama? Why not get the best fake money could buy?
3) Snapshots from thirty or forty years ago inevitably have problems. They're blurry, discolored, etc. and probably weren't very high quality to begin with.
4) The 1971 Obama Christmas photo apparently wasn't reproduced straight on. It looks like it was photographed at an angle and that angle will account for some of the distortions people find in the picture.
By that I mean that it looks like somebody reproduced the photo by taking another photo of it, with their camera at an angle that distorts the dimensions of the original photo. But that's just a guess on my part.
The obvious question to me is: Why wasn’t there a single photo taken with all 3 of them in it? Surely they could have gotten someone at the airport to pause for a moment and snap a picture of the “happy family”.
Thanks Fractal Trader.
Last thing in the World I care about or even want to know. Yep I did click the thread just to say this. I did not read the story. Who cares if his father visited once or not. Sad that Barack had to grow up without a Dad. His Father and Mother were very selfish people. Thank God for his Grandparents or he would have been in foster care which I would not wish on my worst enemy.
Can anyone with photoshop remove the center person and reposition the two other people together? Seems like that would be the correct picture with a better fit than someone awkwardly sitting with a huge floating hand above their white outlined shoulder.
In regards to the park bench photo, doesn’t it seem like commie grampa’s sleeve (in the area of his left elbow) should be visible below zero’s right armpit? The angle of gramps’s shoulder indicates that his left arm is being held in a downward position, so unless he has a remarkably short humerus and extra long forearm, the hand position doesn’t match with the lack of visible sleeve on gramps’s coat.
Agree? Disagree? Any other comments or analysis?
Everyone accepts that he’s a muslim. Everyone accepts that he was born in Kenya. Those who worship him simply say “I don’t care.” Those who despise him accept that nothing will be done about it short of getting Joe Arpaio elected president.
It’s worked out just the way they planned it.
That’s a very good point, Cowgirl, especially when you look at the bench and the lower portions of the wall in the photo. It’s obviously different in the area around zero than it is around the creepy old white crackas. Compare the clarity of the brick contours under zero’s part of the bench with the clarity under commie gramps as well as the sharpness of the edge of the bench itself. Looks like someone tried a bit too hard in their fabrication of the ‘photo’.
