The "Grand-Parent" Bench - Obama Photo
google image search ^ | 10/21/2013 | unknown

Posted on 10/21/2013 7:36:10 PM PDT by FreeAtlanta

I found these three photos I haven't seen before. First glance, it seems to answer some of the anomalies with the wall that I thought were a problem with the phony president.



The suspicious picture.

The frustrating part is all the posters here who obviously have not once in their lives tried to really alter a photo in this manner with photoshop, yet think they can talk authoritatively about how obviously fake the photo is. The altered photo you’re talking about is a good example of just how hard it is to create a doctored photo that isn’t glaringly obvious to the trained eye. Anyone who knows what they are talking about would spot that photo as a fake immediately, but the other photo is completely consistent with an original, undoctored photograph from the era.

People with no knowledge are seizing on things like overexposures as a sign of fakery, when in fact, that weighs in favor of authenticity.

“There’s actually a study some guy did where he says grandpa’s left arm angle is impossible because the top of this left shoulder should be raised upward.”

Oh, well if some guy did a study, I guess that means case closed.

She is 'leaning' on his chest. See post #97, except remove 0bama's leg and the 'ENORMOUS naked chicken' left hand of grandpa and there you have the original photo that you'll never see because Ayers & Co. wants you to see ONLY the trio photo.

Now, go back to your 0bamacare help line at the White House and leave me alone. I have thousands of hours in Photoshop so you can't educate me on such matters.

Hey Boogieman, if you think her right fist is this dark because of a "shadow", there is no hope for you. There is NO WAY IN HELL THIS IS A WHITE PERSON'S FIST.. NO WAY NO HOW NO DAY ANYWAY SO.. GO AWAY!

BOTH of the white man's hands are MORE PALE than her fist, yet in deeper shadow area EVEN THOUGH HER SKIN TONE IS MANY SHADES MORE PALE THAN HIS!!!! Explain THAT one huh?

She is much more pale than the man, yet the man's hands appear more pale than her fist. Your 'shadow' theory DEBUNKED RIGHT HERE.

My take on the “floating hand” is that the camera just happened to catch grampa as he was putting his hand on Barry’s shoulder, but wasn’t quite there yet. The hand was in motion when the shutter opened, and the “fatness” is just a bit of blur (of course, if you look at his other hand, he DOES have fat fingers to begin with).

If someone was really serious about creating a fake picture with Barry in the middle, why would he include that weird looking hand, knowing that it would immediately be cited as proof of fakery? That just doesn’t make sense.

This whole thing is just a joke that someone played on the world and a lot of people have taken the bait.

Exactly. If the fake was done well enough that you can’t see the crop lines, airbrushing, or disparate shadows, then there is no way they would have left that hand hanging there.

Hmm, so why are her knuckles obviously white, then, genius? Black people don’t have white knuckles.

“BOTH of the white man’s hands are MORE PALE than her fist, yet in deeper shadow area EVEN THOUGH HER SKIN TONE IS MANY SHADES MORE PALE THAN HIS!!!! Explain THAT one huh?”

Simple. His hands are not in a deeper shadow. Her hand is immediately behind Barry’s arm, which is almost completely blocking the light, while his hands are only being partially shadowed.

“She is much more pale than the man, yet the man’s hands appear more pale than her fist. Your ‘shadow’ theory DEBUNKED RIGHT HERE.”

If by “debunk” you mean ranted and raved against by someone who clearly doesn’t know what the hell they are talking about, okay.

“She is ‘leaning’ on his chest.”

Her arm. What is her right elbow leaning on? There is nothing there if her upper body is leaning on his chest. And if you move her further over, so that her elbow is leaning on him, then her upper body would be sprawling across him. There is no way to make those bodies, in those positions, fit together well without something looking awkward.

“I have thousands of hours in Photoshop so you can’t educate me on such matters.”

Wasted hours, apparently.

Some people can’t be educated because they don’t want to be educated.

True, but they can still be refuted, and perhaps ridiculed until they shrink back to Alex Jones’ website or some such “conspiracy bubble” forum.

Okay, Boogieman.. Time for you to realize that is FRANK MARSHALL DAVIS' HAND, not Ann Dunham's:

http://www.wnd.com/2012/07/another-doctored-image-deepens-obama-mystery/

How can you possibly say there's any 'white' in those hands? Even a black person's knuckles will lighten when curled due to thinning of the skin there, but THEY'RE STILL BLACK HANDS, BOOGIEMAN!

Man, you are deranged. Her hands are in shadow, they are not a black man’s hands. Get a friggin grip, please.

The photo with grandparents is an impossible fake. Its simple physiology.

Look at gramps left shoulder, his left upper arm is nearly straight down, otherwise the jacket would be bunched at the shoulder.

Now look at gramps left hand. The problem is that it is at or above his left shoulder, that can not happen if his upper arm down. Put your hand out at shoulder level, and move it away from your body while keeping it at shoulder height - your upper arm MUST raise away from your torso, it can not remain lowered. Now lower your hand a bit (such as the height of grams shoulder), and your upper arm can stay lowered.

To me, it appears gramps hand was removed from toots shoulder, and they were separated, and Obama was put in the middle. Why that hand was left in confuses me, maybe the editor was trying to show a familiar relationship between gramps and Obama.

Since gramps was a known Communist, he must have left (unwillingly, of course) his fingerprints in the FBI files. Compare them to those of “his” left hand on Odunga’s shoulder, and voila, pardon my French, we’ll have the definitive answer to the mystery of the century (so far)!

If someone went to the all the trouble of inserting Barry’s picture into the one with Stanley Ann Dunham, for the express purpose of falsifying Barry’s family history, why didn’t that fraudster finish the job by lightening the mysterious hand just a bit so it looks more realistic?

Anyone with “thousands of hours” in Photoshop must know that’s a simple thing to do.

Or maybe some fraudster actually darkened her hand, just to feed the ever-hungry conspiracy machine.

Why would he do that?

That creates a fake controversy that ultimately discredits people who have legitimate concerns about Barry’s hidden history. I’d bet that’s right out of Alinsky’s book.

That could well have been the reason that the legitimate photo with the three people on the bench was altered by removing Barry’s image.

Congratulations! You swallowed the bait, hook, line, and sinker.

I never say that before actually the one on the right is more believable.

But why make up this picture?
