So it's bad to release a real, unretouched photo of Obama? If Obama is ashamed of that photo of himself then that's his problem. Frankly, I'm thrilled that this picture of Obama was released, it helps Americans to understand what's in his heart.

It is when the *purpose* of releasing it is to appeal to sentiments that you make a big point of denouncing in your campaign.
