[isn’t it possible his fingers are curled up, almost like he’s double jointed?]

Not to me, I just see too much there. I even curl up my hand and can’t get the effect of that many fingers. I’m used to cutting out images, even going as far as cutting out strands of hair, so I’m not without some degree of perception on this type of thing.

Since I haven’t kept up with all of this, as you have, my best guess is that someone wanted to establish Obama as being gay by posing them on the couch. Pictures have a more lasting effect than the written word.

Before that, Sinclair came out with his accusations of an affair with Obama, but there were no pictures to confirm it as far as I know.

It would also be an attempt to confirm his ‘gayness’ in relationship to the stories of the dead men from Wright’s church. I’m guessing Fred, nothing is confirmed so it’s all guesses.

Why would the fake picture with the Dunhams be so important. I don’t understand the importance of establishing that.

imo, they could be holding hands quite openly and it would be meaningless anyway; as I wrote, he spent his childhood in a culture in which boys hold hands, and as he is sitting next to a muslim, it suggests nothing about being gay. It just LOOKS that way to us, muslim men kiss on the lips in public. It’s cultural.
What appears to be important is they are trying to establish where he was and when he was there...where-ever he was...and that Central Park image is important in that context. But it’s a FAKE!
Regardless of what you have been told so far, as there are no records, how do you know he was at Columbia?
All that the images tell us is that he, Siddiqi and Boerner were all in that apartment at some time. We don’t know when that was. WAS IT IN 1981?
While you focus on the fingers of one hand, what else is there that you do not see?
If you can think of a reason that would be important to photo-shop him next to Siddiqi on the couch, I’m all ears. But I cannot see what that would achieve.
