Stanley's hand floating behind Obama is very strange. Several, not necessarily all, of released photos seem to be shopped in some way. There was a thread on photos like this a long time ago.
I have a pic of me in NYC————does that mean I went to Columbia too?
.
Not his hand, something in the background.
I guess I’m a grad of Columbia, too, because you can find several photos of me taken in NYC.
Actually, I run Columbia-Presbyterian Hospital. At least, I was once on 168th St.
Furthermore, even if authentic, it's proof of nothing other than they were sitting on that bench at one point in time (un-dated photo).
If it's proof, then any one of us could take a picture on the same bench and then claim we went to Columbia? Crazy, on many levels.
From the article: “And my grandparents explained that folks in these parts, they didn’t like showoffs, they didn’t admire braggarts or bullies.”
A kind way of telling their grandson what he is, and to ‘cut it out’?
To me, it looks like a bunch of bananas on Hussein’s shoulder.
It’s odd that if they were visiting Zero at Columbia that they would be together in the East 60s.
There are plenty of nice walking spots on Morningside Heights or Riverside. Getting to East 61st Street from Columbia is a hassle. And I bet they were not staying at the Plaza or the Pierre.
Just another oddity.
