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.

I think I said staged, will have to look back over my post. BHO is a small little man and I think the picture captures him accurately.
I understand but the title of thread said photoshopped. I tend to agree with your analysis.
I love that guy!!!
That’s a golf jacket, not tuxedo.
He has to be the biggest fraud ever perpetrated on the American people.
I noticed that the best focus is on Hillary. It’s as if she was the subject of the picture. Everything else is out of focus. The pixelated computer screen was obviously classified stuff that could be read in the picture.
lol
When a small man casts a big shadow, it means the Sun is getting ready to set - Chinese proverb.
Sell the kookville stuff elsewhere.
The POTUS would have a seat at the table. Not off to the side.
Even if it’s photoshopped, they did it to make Obama the smallest most insignificant guy in the room. So in that respect it’s real and accurate.
Much as I’d like to believe it’s faked, I don’t believe it is. I’m not seeing any artifacts at all that would belie a PhotoShop overlay. Obama is placed a bit further back, causing his features to appear smaller in the pic.
I’ve done a lot of photo altering over the years and this one looks authentic.
In that photo you supplied, note that ONE of the docs in front of Hillary! is pixelated, ALL the laptops are open but with black screens, and someone who can adjust contrast CAN read the words on the notebook in Hillary!’s lap.
THAT photo (by virtue of the pixelation) HAS been edited, but it’s hard to say if the image of Zero was edited.
Thanks. That’s what I remember reading: that the video screen was not showing the operation. But none of the articles say that Obama wasn’t in the room when they took that picture; in fact, one of them shows additional pictures with Obama there. If that picture was indeed a photoshop, it must have been because Obama got there late or left early and wasn’t there when they took a group picture that the White House thought could be used to pretend that they were viewing the action live.
That could be (the doc); Obama's position in the pic doesn't appear to be overlaid.
"Mr Pfarrer says the President's role was largely inflated and suggests he stayed out on the golf course for so long so he could distance himself in case it went wrong. Mr Pfarrer writes: 'If this had completely gone south, he was in a position to disavow.'"
(The claims are from Chuck Pfarrer, a former SEAL team commander, in a book called SEAL Target Geronimo.)
“I always thought this pic looked bogus”
Me, too, and *I* seem to recall the White Hut telling us how SERIOUSLY REAL it really was.
I too, thought it was an actual picture. But if you look at biden, then owebama, then the AF General, put the latter two on the monitor together, the clarity is not there for owebama. To me it looks like owebama’s pic was from a different quality camera.
