Wonderful!
Just curious.

WHAT SAY YOU.....PING!!
FYI these are pilfered from freerepublic and the net
The OBAMA ones were provided by OBAMA
Four inch scar. Ever see the movie “Faceoff?”
somewhere there is a photo showing the Harvard Law Review staff? Or is it a Harvard group photo- he is photoshopped into that one, too (big head)
Harvard Year Book?
No one has even photoshopped one showing him at Columbia
He’s like that traveling guy that shows up all over the planet. I prefer to call him Dufus in Chief (or DiC).
ping worthy
It’s official, the real Barack Obama is named Darnell Turner, works in a bar called the crabshack and is married to a white harpy while living in her trailer.
Oh, and Danny Glover is his FBI father.
Someone on prior thread mentioned the photoshopping on many of the Obama photographs (besides the basketball team picture being talked about there) and I wondered what he had in mind. From what you have posted here, I would say, "A lot!"
ML/NJ
MiaT?
About those photos....excuse me a moment while I pick my lower jaw up from the floor...
Outstanding!
“BO has 1’ arm and now microcephalic head (the headhunters got to him and shrunk his cranium!), with uncle payne (sent in to mop up obama’s claim about auschwitz)”

I find all of these PS’s scary.
If it looks like he doesn't have one now, check out his hairstyle then and now. An afro is going to create a different impression than a crew cut. Take the haircut into account and some of the impression you have of unnaturalness goes away.
In any event, there have been many big-headed kids whose parents told them they'd eventually "grow into" their big heads. Maybe Obama did just that. But it does look like big-headedness ran in his mother's family.
You also have to consider the problems with cross-racial identification. Does Obama really look anything like Malcolm X, or is that just because two black guys in the same pose with similar haircuts look similar to people who aren't black? What looks uncannily similar to same white people may not strike African-Americans in the same way.
Maybe the big black kid in the school picture is always going to look a little out of place surrounded by smaller, whiter kids. Maybe the shadows on darker skin are going to look strange in comparison to the shadows on the other, lighter-skinned kids as a matter of course.
I'm not saying retouching wasn't done in any of these cases. It's entirely possible that the photographer who took the African picture played with the background to attract attention to Obama. But that doesn't mean it's part of a larger conspiracy.
