Does a family photograph of a young Barack Obama posted on the president’s Facebook campaign page offer a clue to the identity of his real father?
A professional graphic artist who examined the 1973 photo believes the image of Obama’s mother, Ann Dunham, was airbrushed into the scene to cover up an African-American man who was standing next to Obama at the Honolulu airport.
Filmmaker Joel Gilbert, who commissioned the analysis, told WND there’s substantial evidence that the man in the original photograph was Frank Marshall Davis, the Communist Party member, pro-Soviet propagandist and pornographer who played a fatherly role in Obama’s teen years.
In his full-length documentary “Dreams from My Real Father,” Gilbert presents a compelling case that Davis was Obama’s biological father as well as his ideological mentor. He believes the Dunham family recruited the Kenyan student Barack Hussein Obama to act as the father, to cover up an illicit affair with a subversive political activist.
Gilbert posted a page on his website at the time this article was published with details of his find.
Gilbert says the black male hand under Obama’s armpit is strikingly similar to the right hand of Davis.
“We know from Obama’s own writing and interviews with Davis’ neighbors, that Obama was a regular visitor to Davis’ house from age 10,” Gilbert told WND. “This doctored photo on Obama’s own Facebook page seems to be part of a pattern of document forgery by President Obama to hide his biological and ideological relationship to communist Frank Marshall Davis.”

Filmmaker claims black man removed from 2012 campaign Facebook image
Ping
holy crap, that is a black man’s hand. Is it possible someone in Obama’s camp put the black hand in there just to mess with the birthers?
If you get a chance to see the film mentioned in this article, do so, and pass around. It has great history, too, of the communist movement in the 40s thru 60’s and how they infiltrated the dockworkers on the West Coast and in Hawaii.
I don't think so. As a professional graphic artist (since 1972) who has worked with both the old style film techniques and modern Photoshop, I would say her image was masked and then double printed with the original masked negative then the final photo would have been touched up with an airbrush to smooth the edges etc.

Why did Newsweek remove Barack Obama photos?
Why would someone photoshop a young Barack Obama into a photo of his grandparents sitting on a bench in Central Park? A photo that appeared in New Yorker editor David Remnick’s Obama bio, ‘The Bridge’.

Dang. I’ve never seen that photo. Odumbo is really, really fat.
He looks bigger than Lolo.
Whenever Obama’s mother was put, or stood in the picture it seems that she was very, very light white. I bet Obama hates to look at pictures of her that remind him of his white half.
Something just doesn’t sit right with me. This photo is CLEARLY doctored. So is the one on the bench with grandpa’s floating hand.
So, is someone doing bad jobs on purpose for a reason.
What reason???
It just makes no sense to me.
Or were these faked up photos done in the 60’s when it was harder to fake photos.
This one blows my mind because it is so obvious that is not Dunham’s hand.
There must not be very many photos of Obama for him to put up that big fat kid one. Look’s more like FMD than Sr in that photo.
I don’t understand what you are saying — can you put in layman’s terms. Like why would someone go through that 3 step process you are talking about.
Also in the WND article (go look at) he mentions 8 more anomalies to this photo — maybe you could comment.
Thanks.ca

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Now, now. If that was FMD’s hand, it would be under no armpit.
The second one is a really, really really bad photoshop.
You mean like an early version of HDR? Because she was underexposed on film?
In the bottom photo, Obama’s knee is still there
Actually I think at least part of his hand over Obama's shoulder is part of his right hand. Compare the shape of the left first finger (over Obama's shoulder" to what's seen of the first finger on the man's right hand. Perhaps part of the thumb was pieced in and maybe that 2nd or 3rd finger on his right hand was cropped on the hand over Obama's shoulder as well.
I’ll give you that the hand belonged to a black dude.
But it doesn’t make sense that someone would go to such trouble to cover up what? That Obama was shown with Frank Marshall Davis? So?
We know Obama self acknowledged Davis was his mentor. Why the need to do a switcheroo?
Maybe Camp Obama needs another conspiracy NOW to occupy the right sphere for days/weeks.
