It’s pretty amazing. I’ve seen that photo several times before and never noticed the hand holding on the knee. But now that I see it, I can’t not see it.
Hey, DoJ O-team! Nyah Nyah Nyah Nyah Nyaaaah Nyah!
(Too late - it’s out there now, no pun intended ha ha!)
But if someone went to the trouble of photoshopping as you describe, why not make Siddiq farther away? Even that close is gagging for normal men. The other picture took Siddiq out altogether.
The entire background could have been dropped in.
BTW, check out head, neck, and turtleneck in #308. Something is off. Was his head position shopped?
true; guess it could be grand parents on a bench anywhere;
something also seems to be off about the background wall on Stanley’s left. It doesn’t seem to match the rest of the wall.
Guess I originally wondered if the grandparents were added to the picture to replace two other people who were there with BHO?
I see what you are saying, but the “black” under siddiqi’s ankle does not appear to be a solid cutoff like the others do. In fact, it is not even as solidly black as the watch and the black behind zero’s pantleg. Why is only part of the watchface brought forward and evenly cut off? I guess I will have to try and sharpen this better.
The artifacts associated with being a natural shadow are just not there, but they ARE under siddiqi’s ankle.
looks as if the turtle neck was added to the image to cover up for something...
"We were both very lost. We were both alienated ..." said Siddiqi, who at the time worked as a waiter and as a salesman at a boutique.
Boutique???
The Obama campaign declined to discuss Obamas time at Columbia and his friendships in general. It wont, for example, release his transcript or name his friends. It did, however, list five locations where Obama lived during his four years here: three on Manhattans Upper West Side and two in Brooklyn one in Park Slope, the other in Brooklyn Heights. His memoir mentions two others on Manhattans Upper East Side.
At least seven residences in four years, yet he buys house plants?! LOL
LOL!!
Maybe his head was tilted toward Hal. The right side of his neck isn’t fully covered by the “turtleneck.”
IMO this is the scenario: The image of obama in what appears to be Central Park - he's wearing the same clothes as 'on the bench' - was released simply to ID the location.
The image of the grandparents together could have been taken anywhere.
It is Central Park isn't it? I'm an aussie and could be wrong.
A while ago, someone (maybe Danae?) mentioned that it was known in Chicago circles that both 0bama and his consort went to “wild” parties where apparently all manner of weirdness went on.
Danae - maybe you alluded to this? It’s my words obviously but I remember someone saying something about their habits.
Sick crap whatever it is.
And as they say, it runs down hill....just damn :(
Something very serious happened.
There is nothing, no social experiment, no touchy-feely nonsense, no one's self-esteem which should stand in the way of that mission.
IF anyone doesn't want to serve under the conditions set then don't sign up.
All I forsee is an increase of blue on blew incidents and people light in the combat boots getting sent home one way or another, much like was 'rumored' to have happened in my father's day (WWII, Korea).
If the Obamites want to f*ck up unit cohesiveness, there are solutions which have always been there, far less civilized than a DD.

That's the Plaza Hotel off Central Park South and 5th Ave. in the background.
Shadows are sharpest when close to the object they cast on depending on the hardness of the shadowed object. The further away the softer the edges, also slightly influence by hardness.
Absolutely. I think he has more pressing concerns to deal with right now as well.
I read it also, it is very believable.
In the shot with Obama (wearing the leather jacket) it looks like Spring or Summer with all the leaves a uniform green. Why would you wear a heavy jacket like that in the Summer in New York City? You would be dripping with sweat.
nice photo; would you place time of year — spring? (he has leather jacket on)
Can you place bench photo in post #312; #295? -— or is there not enough identifying background. It often appears in same article as the Central Park photo.
