Situation Room Photo Fake! (Obama photoshopped in!)

Posted on 12/08/2011 6:15:06 AM PST by Bon mots

Obama photoshopped into Situation room

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.

I think its real...if they faked it, they wouldn’t make O look like he had just been yanked off the golf course. Although tall @ 6’1”, he always looks tiny...like in the iconic photo of him hanging drapes, or quite frankly any photo of him next to his wife.

The wide angle lens used would also enhance that perception.

Ding ding!

But it's more fun to speculate that it's 'shopped.

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

Also, if you'll look, the camera was focused on Hillary's face. Given the depth of field that appears in the photo, Obama appears to be out of focus by about the right amount.

MSM will let it slide just like all the rest including the 57 States Gaff.

Also remember that BO and MCLAME either both had an obvious gaff or were ‘slow’ and/or incoherent in answering during a debate.

“THEY” said John was old and senile (true) but pooh pawed BO off with “He is tired and on a tight schedule” or some other such trite.

No mystery here, DumBO had to photoshop his presence here to cover the fact he pulled the trigger on bin Laden in Pakistan.

The fact that every other “expert” on here chimes in to say why it’s def photo shopped, astounds me.

Staged or posed is one thing, but they certainly have the people available to appear in a photo, there is no need to photo shop.

What leads me to believe (as I did then) this was a fake is that anyone as Narcissistic and so full of himself as Dear Leader is, would NEVER cede the position of “honor” to anyone, especially a “Military” person; he would have insisted a pic be taken only after he assumed his “Rightful” place as Community Agitator in Least!!!

Obama’s bio lists him as 6 feet tall. But Michelle is listed as 5-10, and she’s taller than Obama in most pictures.

The only pertinent fact is that he was golfing 20 minutes before our troops went in.

I didn't know that... so he was definitely photoshopped in. More propaganda than Hitler and Stalin...

The silver tag on the right breast of the officer next to Obama should be OK for a size benchmark. It is a standard item and its height can be determined.

The size of Obama’s face can also be determined from other photos (say the distance from his lips to his eyebrows).

With the benchmark, someone can determine if the size of Obama’s face in the photo is the same as it is in real life.

If it’s in the ballpark size wise (say 90-110%), then there’s no evidence it was photoshopped (as the slight variation can be blammed on sitting slightly away from the table).

If it’s way off (say 50-60% of what you would expect) then it’s pretty strong evidence it was photoshopped in (as that is way too much variation, imho, to be accounted for by Obama sitting slightly behind the officer).
