I stopped reading after this part "His arm is obviously hidden but is clearly hanging at his side.".
Cool photos though.edit on 6-4-2011 by Naptown317 because: (no reason given)
Another funny one "This photo also pixellates at different levels of digital magnification, indicating it has been created by a crude method of compilation."
People with unlimited power using crude methods tisk tisk.

can somebody explain to me why everyone
in the background is looking away from Obama
getting his handshake. They're all looking over
to the left of the pic.

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...

Well considering you didn't take the time to go through the link and
assess properly the critical analysis of an expert in digital manipulation

I am between two minds trying to decide whose camp to side with....Not.
Notice that Stanley Ann's head is larger than her mother's and is out of proportion with the rest of her tiny body. In fact, as represented in the photo, her head is nearly the size of her father's. Those three anomalies, alone, confirm that this photo is a compilation.
All three subjects' eyes are focused in different directions, further indicating that each subject was photographed in different settings at different times.
Stanley Armour Dunham's overall appearance is gray and outside the light parameters of the rest of the photo. Notice how his tie casts a dark shadow behind his tie, indicating the light is shining from the left side of the photo. However, the right side of his face (that which faces the direction of the light) is obscured within a shadow. If the shadow was created by the light approaching from the left, his tie, his shirt, and his chin would be obscured by his daughter's head. But it is not being obscured by her head, evidenced by the singular shadow behind the tie. Therefore, the tie’s shadow is foreign to any lighting effects present in the overall portrait, disqualifying Stanley Armour’s image

Look to the right of Obama and you'll notice the guy there has his right arm (left from the viewers perspective) around Obama but is also holding the hand of the lady in front of his stomach.

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.

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.

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.
