Obama Sr.'s head and leis blocked out. By the hand and arm placement of the body that remains what do you see? Do you expect the person under the blocking to be very tall?
Obama Sr. with very, very long arms.
As I think most agree that top photo at the dock looks like bad photoshop.
Just my speculation and what stands out to me:
The leis just look plain old photoshopped to cover something up but...
The leis defy physics if they are assumed to be all the same size. What are the odds that some people had leis with a larger circumference and they just happened to put them on Obama Sr. first so that as they stack up they get smaller. The first leis go all the way down to his (presumed) waist. Those are some very long leis at the bottom and short leis at the top.
Also Obama Sr. has ape-long arms. I mean they just go on forever. I’m surprised they don’t touch the ground.
In a graphics program I covered Obama Sr. and Stanley in t-shirts I made to get rid of the distraction of the leis. Since the Stanley and Obama Sr. are pictured as the same height (I guess falsely). With the same head, shoulder, elbow and wrist placement Obama Sr.’s should be in proximity to Stanley’s but Obama Sr.’s are much lower.
To me it looks like they were covering up a shorter man by pasting Obama Sr.’s head on a different body but they (for whatever reason) pasted the head and shoulders too high then covered it with extra leis.
Just draw a line straight through Stanley’s shoulder and elbow across to Obama Sr.and you’ll see it’s off for Obama Sr.
I mean look at the wrist of the woman in the black dress it’s not too far off from where Obama Sr’s wrist is.
That’s a shorter man under those leis.
It’s like they needed Obama Sr. to be in that photo.
Fascinating
