Situation Room Photo Fake! (Obama photoshopped in!)

[Bon mots]

What's wrong with this picture?

Can you see it?

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.

All over Sweden they are laughing at it, and how gullible we all were, that up until now, nobody else noticed.

It looked fake the minute I saw it. Obama in the corner?

UH OH WOOPS NUMBER 1,247,365
Not to worry the MSM will let it slide just like all the rest including the 57 States Gaff.

I never did trust that picture...

"Shopped"?? It IS possible. Here is the REAL photo taken before the WH artists went to work on it.

So I went to that site and they’ve photoshopped a picture of a much larger-looking guy in between Biden and Obama. Do you know what’s up with that?

[sonofagun]

If Obama is sitting back away from the table, he’s going to look smaller than he is.

The wide angle lens used would also enhance that perception.

Fake president, in a fake photo.

[albie]

This isn’t photoshopped. He looks just as small, useless and irrelevant as usual.

Stalin had Lenin ‘photoshopped’ into this old pic. They were not sitting together on that bench at all.

More Fascists and Photoshop... they know the value of lies and propaganda...

[AuH2ORepublican]

When did they say this? Do you have a link? I recall reading that someone had said that the operation was not on the screen at the time the picture was taken, but not that they had said that Obama wasn’t there and that the picture was a photoshop.

Much smaller than all of those who surround him.

In so many ways that is true, even without any Photoshop.

Here's a link to a high-res version of the photo in question: http://www.flickr.com/photos/whitehouse/5680724572/sizes/o/in/photostream/

If that's a Photoshop job, it's a damn good one. The saturation of shadows and depth of field feels correct. I agree that Obama's size is due to the forced perspective of the photograph. He's probably about 4 feet behind Biden, which would make him look smaller. What I'm curious about is the purposely pixel-redacted document sitting on Hillary's laptop. A photo of Bill caught in the act??? LOL

I thought that too when it first came out. However, Obamas chair is much smaller than the one to his left which would diminish his size.

I’ll try and find it. This info came out when the WH said that they were going to stop refilming those walks that BHO does down to the podium to speak. You know that shot with the long hall in the back ground, evidently they practice those until he “looks good”. Just weird.

[Paladin2]

Teeny Ears. That’s the giveaway.

[Laserman]

Notice that the shadow cast by everyone’s nose is long, while Obama’s is short. Strange.

[Yaelle]

It’s actually worse than photoshopped. They dragged him off the golf course, got a folding chair, and got the potus into the picture. If only slipped into the background. It is more telling than a photoshop.

Are you sure that's real? I don't see evil Bert, or even Ernie for that matter.
Everything else looks legit.
