He apparently did attend Punahou, the school for rich white well-connected kids, a few selected asians, and “other”

But why this photoshopped picture? It is such a bad forgery.

Barry attended this elite private school from 71 to 79. Who paid the tuition? Or did he get a scholarship?

Look at the hands and wrist. They are not natural.

Why would a major US Paper like the NY Times even print something so obviously fake...? Even the Times should see how ridiculous this is going to make them look.

And notice the shadow from 0.0’s big head on his left shoulder. None of the others in the picture have that same shadow.

But the picture is real. The New York Times says so.

Also noted is the fact that a photographer always arranges his subjects for these type pictures with the tallest in the back rows so as not to overshadow the smaller guys in front.

Someone manufacturing a biography for 0bama.

This shows that 0bama is hiding history he doesn’t want us to know about.

what’s next would be if one of the guys in that picture had a copy of the real picture and shared it

That’s gotta be a yearbook photo. A suggested FReasearch project is to find that yearbook, and find the real version of that photo. There must be FReepers in Hawaii equal to the task!

Kinda weird how tall he was considering neither his mother not his “father” were tall

maybe we should announce a freep photoshop contest and substitute other pictures for Barry’s - maybe Kim Chong Il, or Johnny Weir

I’ve seen that photo before and IIRC, the consensus was that it’s photo-shopped. BO looks *smashed* in between the other two guys. Everyone else is spaced evenly. You’ve *pinged* all the right people to verify that.

made the mistake of reading the 2007 article the picture came from.

Gotta go hurl my oatmeal now. That was one of the most slobbering profiles of any one I’ve ever seen.

He’s the hero of the game AND presidential material ‘cause he scored the winning shot.......

in a three on three competition!

Whoo-whoo!!!

His right arm down near the elbow looks like it’s been ‘shopped. The left arm above the elbow where it appears he’s touched the kid next to him doesn’t look quite right, either.

Barack Obama, the man who came from nowhere.

But to question such an obvious lie makes one more dangerous than Osama Bin Laden.

Right, Glenn?

That would be funny!
I can’t wait for the next photoshopped image of the one.
Stalin used to do this, but people disappeared from pictures.
