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

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.

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.

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.

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.

Well, if the photo is real then Obama must have been brought in just long enough for the photo and then left for the golf course or something. He looks like an afterthought, the supposed leader of the free world over in the corner looking like a kid in a roomful of adults. Oh, well, I always figured him for a puppet who just does as he is told.

Also in that photo, of the five people in the “first row” at the table, four have a substantial shadow on the left sides of their faces, while Zero has no shadow at that spot.
