Can you count the fingers in that photo? I sure can’t. It just looks odd and blurry to me. I never doubted that photo was real, faults and all because of the MANY sources it came from. I have never seen it disputed as fake by anyone before potlatch did it today. The reason being is that it was in so many reputable news sources along with the story. That photo has been around for a year and a half and NOW he questions it’s authenticity based on an enlargement that he did. Whatever. He needs more proof than that.

The NY Times was the one that first ran the story and photo if I remember correctly.
Sorry mojitojo but this is not the first time it has been brought up.
I saw this picture a long time ago and never thought a thing about it except for the fact Obama and this guy were REAL cozy (as I suspect most of us did). Then a few months back there was some comment about fingers and something between the crotch. I hadn't been in on the beginning of the conversation so I asked either LucyT or Fred Nerks (can't remember which one) what was that all about? They said take a look at the fingers and what was between his crotch. I got out my magnifying glass and had a big laugh because sure enough there were waaay to many fingers. At first I thought that coloration in his crotch could be the heel of his boot, but after further studing I realized it wasn't the heel of his boot. I just knew it couldn't be what some were suggesting as I don't believe anyone could be that endowed. LOL!
The other photo when blown-up giant size, shows the mess of fingers on the Paki's knee and a weird appendage on the couch between the two queers that might be a toy...lol... or something else, that should have been photo-shopped out.
