Obama picture mystery

Take a good look at this picture. Ask yourself why it is that EVERYTHING about Barack Obama is fake?

Thanks to Thomas Lifson’s June 5, 2013 essay in The American Thinker Wayne Root’s charge that Barack Obama didn’t graduate from Columbia has been revisited. For several years Root, a 1983 Poli-Sci major who graduated from Columbia with about 700 other people, has diligently searched for ANYONE who remembers the bugle eared half White half Black Barack Obama who claims he also graduated from Columbia University in 1983 with a master’s degree in Poli-Sci. Not one person remembers the skinny kid with a funny name; not one.

The course of study lasted for...

I just tried it too. I have long arms and couldn’t do it either. Not even close for me.

Stone on left of Mr. Dunham does not match that to the right of Mrs. Dunham.

I agree 100%.

Excellent observation, gramps shoulder shows that his upper arm is pointing relatively straight down, otherwise the jacket would be bunched up at the shoulder. This would be possible if he was resting his hand on a lower position, such as his wife's shoulder. If his hand was going to Obama's shoulder, his upper arm and shoulder would need to go up and/or back, and that would show in his shoulder.

It's pretty obvious that gramps hand was somewhere lower, most likely on his wife's shoulder.

[MMaschin]

Your green lines show that it's impossible for gramps hand to be where it is.
First, please be so kind as to remove the large gaps between the green lines in gramps left arm, and make them more representative of gramps right arm. You can do that and still have gramps hand where it is, but that will force the upper arm into a higher position, and that would result in gramps shoulder being in a different position. Gramps shoulder shows that his upper arm was pointing relatively down. Combine that with how well the hand matches his wife's shoulder, and I think it fairly likely that gramps hand was actually testing on his wife's shoulder.

His grand parents were total marxist dupes.

True. Has anybody ever consided that the dude in the boyhood photos isn’t the same guy in adult BHO photos?

The kid is fat and much darker skinned. Also, I don’t see the large ears that Obama has as an adult? We’ve seen several photos of young Obama, maybe he’s changed his name and somebody else is not Barack Hussein Obama.

Death to all misplaced apostrophes!!

You’re worried about what “libs” (I call them commie scum) think about “us”? You’re concerned about their opinions and thoughts? You think that if “we” ignore photoshopped pictures they’ll listen to “our substantive issues”?

What freaking universe do you live in? It’s certainly not this one.

Darn it, and I was so proud of getting my GED but they didn’t cover apostrophifcation too good.

Your post, although acurate in my error, hardly reaches the importance of your use of explanation points to magnify the importance of your post.

Death to uneeded explanation points.

Au contraire, mon freep. My exclamation isn't only justified, it's actually a modest objection, given the enormity of this widespread scourge!

Yep, it's impossible the picture is a fake!

This picture has so many red flags.

A couple:

1. Parallel lean and shoulder height match of Obama and Grandma.

Note that Obama and the grandmother are at the same tilt angle-wise. Both are parallel in their ‘lean’ toward grandpa. If the picture was ‘shopped’ from one with two grandparents original together the ‘lean’ would need to be mimicked to slide Obama in. The leans are the same.

If you then draw a perpendicular line through Obama at his shoulders you will see an odd thing. The left (looking at the image) shoulder of Obama is still much below the right shoulder. This severely dropped shoulder is clear even with ‘the lean’ taken into account. This fits Obama over top of Grandpa at the same point Grandma’s shoulder was. Obama right shoulder (left side looking at image) and Grandma’s right shoulder (left side looking at image) are at same height.

2. The wall top.

The wall top is almost undefined to the left side of Grandpa. There is no distinct level top. It seems to drop as it gets closer to Grandpa’s right shoulder. In any case the wall is definitely lower on Grandpa’s right side (left looking at image)than to his left side and to the rest of the wall top to the right of the image. It is not simple camera distortion.

3. Other lack of line continuity and non-parallel elements.

Mortar lines in the wall lack continuity going across. Again, camera distortion could be the culprit. But this seems to definitely not be the case.

4. Also the lines of the bench are not parallel with the mortar lines on the wall.

5. Obama’s artificial right leg.

If you zoom in on the bottom and enhance the image (I simply did raised the gamma) you can see the lines of the wall behind the subjects legs. The lines behind Obama’s right leg below the pants leg show a leg that must only be 2 inches wide. It looks like an artificial limb with a post going to the shoe. Way to thin for a natural leg.

6. Mismatch of bottom wall.

Looking at uncropped picture see that the bottom of the wall area is different between Grandpa’s right side (left side of image) and the rest of wall to the right of Grandpa’s left leg (right side of image). It almost looks like the wall is a foot or more closer on the right side of the image.

So these are just SOME of the red flags in this image.

if the picture is NOT a fake, then does anyone have any idea
who might have taken the picture?

6. July 29, 1980: If still in California, who signed selective service form on july 29,1980 in Hawaii?

..and you fail to see the manipulated imagery in the bricks to the left of grandpa, put there because the original photo didn’t extend out that far. Novice work, poorly done.

You have to bear in mind, that it’s a very SMALL circle of people engaged in this scam. The people responsible might not even want to involve a ‘graphics person’ into their criminal enterprise. My take is that the person or people behind these photo frauds might not have had extensive graphics background. Alex Okrent might have, but he died 2 months before the 2012 election of a ‘sudden heart attack’.. At 29. Just like Breitbart.

curious: Amateur group/famiy pictures at famous tourist sites like New York city often happen like this:

1. One person in the group takes a picture of the group.

2. Then there is a switch.

3. The person who took the first picture switches with someone else in the group, and now that person has his picture taken with the group.

4. So who took the picture: Obama's mother? A friend?

5. That is, if this Obama picture is NOT a fake, then there should be a picture or pictures of Obama or his grandparents standing next to the person who took the original picture of Obama sitting with his grandparents on the park bench that we see on the internet.

If you draw a straight line along the top of the wall, something really funky happened to the wall beside pops ear.
