This is not one of my 'Photoshops', this is one of the most viewed photographs ever on Flickr, and it was posted by the Whitehouse on their official WH Flickr account. A popular Swedish program has uncovered something very funny about it.
Notice how small Obama is in the picture? Much smaller than all of those who surround him.

Please do not fall prey to these tactics. It makes us look foolish. If you clik on the picture you can download the original full size picture. You can clearly see there are no traces of Photoshop in that picture.
The reason he looks so small is that he is one of the furthest one back, and also because he is hunched down.
The more important question is what was Sherlock Holmes doing there in the back?
Looks like a wide angle lens to me also.
Remember that interview with Palin where they used a wide angle lens and positioned the chairs so she would appear to be tiny?
The whole Obama administration is a fake!

It;s perspective. Compare Hillary to Gates. There is no way her head is that small compared to his. Same applies to Obama- perspective.
No, they did NOT say it was not a “real” picture. They said nothing was on the screens the people in the room were watching. IIRC, they were just listening to an audio feed.
Looter guy really gets around.
Do you have a link for that claim?
How the heck do they get away with calling anybody crazy for questioning their ever-shifting story about the Bin Laden assassination, if they themselves admit that they’ve put out a staged photo?
When an entire government is this non-credible it is a national security threat.
THERE it is!
The military guy (Brig. Gen. Marshall Webb) was the first person in the room. The reason Obama is sitting in the corner is because he was the second person in the room and sat next to Webb to see what was happening on his Webb's laptop. Obama later moved to make room for other people entering the room.
The reasons the picture is not photoshopped are:
1. None of the people in the photo have said that it was. ("Three may keep a secret if two are dead".
2. If the White House was going to construct a photoshopped picture of this event, they would not have Obama in golfing attire sitting in the corner.
yeah he matches his description...”PINHEAD”
What’s wrong with this picture....? Hmmm...let me see...
OH! I know....
Somebody let the janitor into a classified briefing...!!!
Couldn’t resist....
It was a staged photo.
Staged photo and no proof shown that he is even dead. The whole thing reeks.
There is nothing that they do that is truthful. It could have been stated there were listening to audio feed.
Here’s the link to the podium stuff.

What bothers me about the pic is that he is not at the table. Why? Seems to me he should have the KEY seat at the table with all deference to his lofty position as CIC. I doubt with his personality he would allow them to sit him in the corner. He would be at the head of the table. I always laughed when I saw that pic, as he is in a second tier seat like a gofer might be at the UN or something.
Didn’t Pfarrer also say they were watching the helicopter crash, not the raid?
Yep. They announced he was dead and DNA proved it was him all in a few hours? ha ha and ha
I want to see his stink’n dead body.
