Is Barack Obama actually not in this photo of Barack Obama?
Salon ^ | 4/7/2001 | Alex Pareene

Posted on 04/07/2011 5:08:49 PM PDT by Kleon

Jack Cashill, the right-wing journalist currently winning the national game of "'prove' the most outlandish thing you possibly can about Barack Obama" with his both his theory that Bill Ayers ghost-wrote "Dream From My Father" and his claim that the president's father was actually Jimi Hendrix, dropped a bombshell today: Barack Obama is not actually in a photo of Barack Obama and his grandparents.

Since ‘03 and you don't know what a “barf alert” is?

I've seen it, I just never knew when it was used. I tend to stay away from "barf" threads, because I'm very sensitive to shock photos and such.

Many folks are saying that. The fact that Grandpa seems to be looking at something else is a tell also.

Looks like a hand over O’s left shoulder, which is not in the pic without him.

as the old saying goes, there's another sucker born everyday and those promoting this picture as proof of fraud are going to be eating crow. I would like just one of them explain to this person, who detests Obama for thinking he is above the law, why when they bring granny back next to gramps, part of Obama’s knee remains in between them? If granny was nestled so close to gramps, there would be no space between them. HELLO! TALK ABOUT CONSPIRACY!

If anyone cares to go search, there is a picture out there of Obama & Sarkosy where Obama has his arm behind Sarkosy in the same fashion as gramps. Obama’s hand is over Sarkosy’s shoulder in the same awkward position as gramps is over Obama’s in this photo. Like I said, as much as I detest what Obama stands for, this is just plain nuts & makes us look like crazy kooks.

Yes, there's a sucker born every day.

Stanley Armour Dunham was reported to have died on February 8, 1992, so he could not have been in a photo which simultaneously includes Obama’s wedding ring, obtained (and worn) on or about October 18, 1992. If this is a genuine photo taken in 1983, Obama would have actually been wearing his wedding ring prematurely—by 9 and 1/2 years.

The most glaring anomaly is the fact that his grandfather appears to be suffering from a severe anatomical distortion: he has 3 arms! Look closely at his left shoulder. His arm is obviously hidden but is clearly hanging at his side. Simultaneously, Stanley Dunham puts his ‘third hand’ over Barack’s shoulder (without raising his arm), but it doesn’t quite rest on the shoulder — it floats in the air!

A closer examination reveals that even the park bench is fraudulent. The photo appears to have been compiled in layers and in the following order: the bench, Stanley Dunham, Barack Obama, Madelyn Dunham, Stanley Dunham’s suit jacke—entire left side, and Madelyn Dunham’s suit jacket — entire right side.

The background, if in the actual setting of Central Park South, should have water on the other side of the wall nearest the bench—not trees. A closer look reveals two walls, the first near the base of the bench, and the second behind that wall. As in the previous set of photos, the subjects are not looking at the same photographer because there wasn’t just one photographer—there were at least three, and most likely, six. The alteration/reinsertion of clothing is most visible along Stanley’s left lapel and Madelyn’s buttonhole side of her suit jacket, which is, abnormally, a straight line. The buttonholes are aligned, but the right-side lapel is definitely smaller than the left lapel, and so, it is out of proportion.

This photo is a complete composite fabrication intended to perpetuate the lie that Barack Obama attended and graduated from Columbia University and was subsequentlyvisited by his grandparents.

The picture with Obama looks chopped. The man's hand appears wrong and the length of his left arm and its position seem unnatural. Try raising your arm like that and have the shoulder pad come up too.

Just my opine on the thing.

The photograph has a purple haze.

"Obama’s mother studied in Seattle"

my impression of little darling Stanley is that she did more than "study".....she seemed to be kind of a tramp....

I saw that hand. I horse around with Photoshop a bit and I was an art major. The guy who found this was right about the unnatural position of grandpas arm the the Obama photo. Look at the one with obama, Grandpas arm looks to be straight down along his side. It would be physically impossible for him to have his hand up on Obamas shoulder. That photoshop was amatuerish at best. It’s just that no one bothered to look.

Um... sorry but this photo looks photoshopped to me. To the left of Madeline, there is a snafu in the bench, and the mortar line disappears for a space then reappears where she would have been sitting. Sorry, but I think Jack bit the big one on this pic.

The author has a point. Cashill has it backwards. Don’t know about Hendrix, though.

Something I couldn’t help noticing is how the sun is beating down and washing out the faces to the left and to the right but there is no sun at all on Obamas face. very odd.

Hmmm. Well, being “very sensitive” is not going to be an asset very shortly.
