Now that is FUNNY! A team where no one would ever throw the ball to another teammate.

BHO is more scrawny than the body in the photo—that may be his face, but it doesn’t mean its his body or even his hair.
His face can be placed into another head or his head on another body; a simple photoshop procedure.
The left arm and shoulder do not seem to match the right.
The bend in the left wrist is creepy/weird.
But more important is the fact that he is a marxist hell-bent on systematically taking apart this great nation as we know it.

Former girlfriends? Ha ha ha!

LOL Sometimes I wonder if Michelle wasn't bought and paid for to protect his image. They never seem to be a couple that cares for each other.

Maybe his left hand is bent like that to hide the joint he was smoking. The thumb and forefinger holding the butt of the joint with the other end toward the palm of his hand - cupped.

If his left hand were draped around a basketball then the left hand would have a more normal appearance, but underneath the left hand the white jersey is showing through. Odd!

Once again... is there a photo of Obama ANYWHERE that doesn’t look photoshopped? The one of him on the Harvard Law Review, the one of him with his “uncle”, the one of him with his third grade ‘friend’. Good grief.

The guy on Obama’s left, top row, really looks photoshopped though, LOL.

Such a Hawaiian history never in truth existed, but it is crucial to the NYT and other media to “prove” that 0bama is an American — which he never was.

Being in a Hawaiian high school hardly constitutes useful evidence for Obama's citizenship or birth -- it's already acknowledged that he lived in Indonesia long before that. And unlike Columbia, there are Punahou classmates who remember him. I don't get why this would be faked (and as a Photoshop user myself, I don't think it was).

I am almost instantly dismissive of any conspiracy theory for two fundamental reasons. First, the world is just not that well-organized, and second: given enough time, no one can can keep a secret.

I've always tied to maintain a sense of professional detachment when considering the latest pop conspiracy fad, especially when they involve photography. I know a little something about the topic, having been a photographer and photo editor for nearly forty years, having built my own darkroom at 13, and in recent years, having had some editorial experience with computer photo techniques.

Having said all that, much of the documentary evidence surrounding Barack Obama is really challenging my skepticism. It seems as though nothing about this guy is self-evidently original; whether it's the "Certification of Live Birth"; a legitimate copy in my estimation, but not truly the original (why?), the lack of an educational paper trail unlike any other President of the United States ever, and... then there are photographs like this.

I have looked at this photograph for some months now, although I have not discussed it on FR. I have examined it in great detail using every photo editor and image manipulator I have. And the reason I have hesitated to say anything is because it is troubling. It looks odd, even to the naked eye, and it's not simply because there's a tall black kid seated in the middle of some white kids. The shadows are oddly fixed. The pixelation is at odds with that in the rest of the photograph. The gamma value and or/contrast of Obama's image is lower than those in the surrounding areas, and his image appears significantly sharper.

It is very strange. I have extracted a number of enhanced images from this photograph, and I'll not bore you with all of them, but here are two: they show the shadow detail under Barack's neck. The first is a standard enlargement, while the second shows pixelation. The red outlines are meant to show the areas I think may be questionable.

I offer no conclusions. I report, you decide:

Noticed that too, so I enlarged that area and lightened the shadows.
Can't deny that there's something odd about this photo, but if it is photoshopped, it's pretty good.

America’s first Kenyan president.

How can we not be proud of that?

The thing that puzzles me is that he seems to have tan lines, including a bikini strap on his right shoulder.
