Obama's Faked Photographic Past For All To Clearly See.

I must say I found this to be a very interesting thread. But the person who made these assumptions is absolutely wrong on a few occasions. For instance, photo 3 his grandfather does not have three hands. You can clearly see his suit coming in at an angle between Obama's (photo left) arm and that he uses his elbow to bend to where his arm is. I don't believe his case for photo 9 either. There were hundreds and hundreds of witnesses on graduation day and some of those witnesses were obviously Obama's friends. Obama had friends right and fellow classmates that could vouch for his presence at graduation.

Pretty much, the whole 'suspicious pictures' thing is tied into the birther groups. I personally feel that there's a bit of racism involved too, but I don't want to point fingers at anyone here, I just mean with 'birthers' in general.

Here's an example of people discussing him: www.politico.com...

I've done quite a bit of photoshop work and frankly these images do look manipulated.
That said, it proves nothing as anyone could have manipulated them.
Educate yourself.org has some downright goofy material on it.
I certainly would not trust it as a source.

But yes, the photos have been manipulated in photoshop, for whatever that;s worth.

Yes, I find it interesting, too.

It's amazing that whoever Photoshopped these pictures did such a foul job! You'd think that an organization whose sole purpose was to take over the world using a black Muslim from Kenya would have better resources at their disposal. I mean... EVERY PICTURE from Obama's past has not one, not two, but MANY photoshop errors! Did they think they could fool us?

And what's more... I found the original Grandparents photo!

People don't seem to understand that pictures, and even more so pictures of pictures, on the Internet aren't reliable. Every single "photoshop mistake" pointed out by this article (from 2 years ago) can be explained by:

1, The simple fact that these are jpg files of pictures of pictures on the Internet.
2. A plethora of incorrect assumptions (grandpa has 3 arms, everyone should be looking at the camera, the ring on Obama's finger is his wedding ring, etc.)
3. Wishful thinking... Desperate, wishful thinking. Obama's hope campaign wasn't as strong as those who hope he doesn't get elected again.

Check this picture out. How big is this cat?

And why do you think this insane 2-year-old article is being brought up now? (Hint: Obama just announced his candidacy for 2012) The push to discredit Obama is going to be hard and heavy for the next year! We have a lot of fun to look forward to!

Interesting thread, for sure.

I am not sure if this is what you meant or not, but one thing that came to my mind is that I don't know who initially released these pics. As far as I know, it could have been anyone on the internet, and not necessarily someone from 'Team Obama' (or whoever).

Meaning- The same person pointing out the photo errors, could be the same person who did the Photoshopping in the first place. I don't care enough about it to search and find out who originally released the photos, but after reading your comment I felt like mentioning this.

ITT: koolaid drinkers that can't accept the forgery even when they are slapped in the face with it.
I don't think they will believe it even if Obama himself tells them.
sigh....sheeple...

Don't you think they would have mentioned that fact? Like, "Hey, these pics are photoshopped and I know, because I did the photoshopping. And oh, By the way, here are the originals"... ? I mean, don't you think they'd post the originals to solidify their case?

Ooh! Good come back! Do you have anything to add to the thread or are you just here to call those who disagree with you names? I'm just sayin'...

Actually, you are not just saying anything. You are just speaking in riddles, and I don't feel like deciphering.

riddles and sarcasm?
nope. not in the mood to decipher either.

good eye on the grad photo..

In addition to being anti-Obama, I'm also anti hoax and anti Partisan nonsense. This is the worst kind of hoax and nonsense I've seen.

Considering all the lies Obama has told and his transparent history of buying votes with taxpayers money, why do you need to resort to stuff that makes you look like a fool? All your doing is helping him out.

HA HA HA, I just saw that after reading your post. That is hilarious

Notice how Obama has not aged much if at all. He's been here for hundreds of years. He's our messenger...whether that is good or bad will be determined soon.

Because you get the handshake AFTER the diploma...They are probably looking at the person just behind him getting their diploma.

I think someone is grasping at straws...His grandpa's second arm is around his shoulders....Show me where you see another arm in that pic cause it isn't there.

Exactly. As a recent graduate I can tell you that so many things are going on that Obama probably wasn't the center of attention. When I shook WKU's presidents hand, I was a good distance off to the side. I got my diploma on the "right", walked down, and met him on the "left". Graduates are constantly walking through the line.

Omg. I have to remember to dig into this more when I have time. Just looked at the 'analysis' of the first photo and it's so flawed that I don't know wheter to laugh or cry. Who are these people and where do the spawn from? Now there's a conspiracy.

Everything about Barry is a fake...The sooner it is put out and him taken and tried for treason the better. He is a liar and people around him are liars also. He will be found out. It's what TPTB have in store for him. They hope when they let this come to a head, ( no pun intended about Barry...lol..) that blacks and whites will be at war against each other because of it. Just keep your eye on the Paid Media...Should come to a head at the end of this year or the beginning of next....Battle Station Men....Get Ready.....Race War Eminent.....TPTB have spoken......It could be stopped, but it want be.....

SERIOUS, IS THIS A JOKE?! HOW CAN PEOPLE BELIEVE THIS?!!! ARGHH!

Ah, a voice of reason! My sentiments exactly, on all counts.

Also I just want to add, regarding the ring on the finger in the first pic that seems to be a centerpiece of this "smoking gun" argument, I'm left-handed and I've never felt comfortable wearing rings on my right hand, so when I was in college (and unmarried) I always wore my class ring on my left hand on the ring finger. This is actually not uncommon among lefties, and Obama is indeed left-handed.

Here are just a couple of pictures and quotes.

Photo 3: Analysis


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 subsequently visited by his grandparents.

I am having a hard time rationalizing some of these observations.

The subjects are not looking at the same photographer? Really? Because their heads are cocked slightly differently? The women is wearing glasses how can we know where she is looking exactly?

The Third Arm

The old man has his arm around Obama. Notice that Obama's right arm is recessed backwards behind the front of the old man's gut. Ever had someone sit against your arm on a park bench, you would immediately raise your arm. Again the arm if literally hanging straight down, would go past the seat of the bench and would need to be bent somewhere. Sit in a seat and hang your arm down against your chair. Your arm will extend downward past the chair.

I can't help but shake my head in disbelief - seeing that the website uses (some of) the same photos to "prove" that "Obama is a Human/Reptilian Hybrid"... Linky... I'm sure they can find some more absurdity in the photographs if they tried even harder.

Haha. The usual resort to ridicule.
Lets hear your interpretations of the photo analysed in your link.
I'm waiting.....

s+f anyways.
