Every school kid in America should know this: when they play the National Anthem, or you recite the Pledge of Allegiance, you place your right hand over your heart.
Questions:
A) Is this a reversed, Photoshopped image?
Possibly - if so they did a good job getting the wedding rings and the lapel pin right, though . . .
B) Is this some kind of subliminal, leftist salute to a sinister Marxist agenda for America?
Possibly - I'd give it the same odds that it's a Photoshopped image.
C) Is the Greatest Intellect in the Known Universe really THIS STUPID ? ? ?
More likely than Options A) or B) (above)
You'd think by now, with all the faux pas this guy has pulled in this department (bowing, saluting, not saluting, no hand on heart, etc), the Whitehouse Protocol people would have set him straight . . .
. . . S.L.
Look at the Marine on the right side of the frame. I think that splash of gold color under B.O.s elbow is the Marine's medals and what not. Which should be on his left breast. Suggests the photo is reversed.
ReplyDeleteActually, I know tht BO is left handed. She may be as well. Being a lefty (only in use of the hands) it is just natural to raise the left hand. I even do it when I salute the flag if I am not concentrating on the act.
ReplyDeleteI always go with C when it comes to Zero. He just isn't that bright.
ReplyDeleteNo, the President's coat appears to be buttoned on the correct side, so I don't think it's flipped.
ReplyDeleteThis is beyond embarrassing. Even Jimmy Carter knew which hand to use.
That is one very slick Photoshop. Newsday has the original, or something very close to the original (showing correct hands over hearts).
ReplyDeleteAmazing details. So good it is hard to figure out what the Photoshopper did. The positions of Barack and Michelle are switched, suggesting a simple flipped picture, but it isn't just the lapel pin and the wedding rings that were "fixed." Obama's jacket, for instance, has the buttons on the right, as it should, and the wrinkling from the button pulling appears real, like the photoshopper copied and pasted that whole section from the unflipped picture.
My bet is that this was done by a professional leftist, maybe one of Axlerod's cyber-Brown-Shirts, trying to create something viral on the right that they can expose as a fraud. A conservative might do an obvious photoshop as a joke, but no conservative would actually try to mislead. That is a leftist thing. Can this be traced backwards? May I ask, Stormbringer, where you got it?
We already have so much to work with. I agree it is a leftist trying to obfuscate the field.
ReplyDeleteThis photo is doctored in my opinion.
ReplyDelete1) Alec directs to what sure looks like the Newsday original. Clothes and background match - although not 100%. Perhaps another photo from a slightly different angle.
2) I searched for pictures of BHO's wedding ring. Most people including BHO the ring is a tad closer to the knuckle than the hand. The person who inserted the ring shoved it too close to the hand.
3) The medals on the Marine in the background.
4) I am left handed and respectfully reject that argument. And yes I wear my watch on my right. But never salute with left.
5) I checked for where MO parts her hair and found that she goes both ways. About 60% on the right (per photo above) but 40% on the left.
6) Why does this photo not show their right hands? Remember the "gun toting white extremist" at the town hall meeting who turned out to be black - because we were not shown the whole picture? Cuts both ways.
7) _Pace_ Alec the only impressive thing really is the buttons. Everything else would be relatively easy to alter yes?
I still think they are brilliant idiots and that BHO is the worst president in American history. But I do not trust the authenticity of this photo.
Count me under "A". The poses and facial expressions, and even the positioning of the hands and fingers appear to be identical, just mirror-imaged. And the rings look shopped in; the First Klingon's ring is cocked at an unnatural angle on the finger, and BHO's is heavily shadowed in a way that just doesn't look real.
ReplyDeleteI'm with Rick: looks like the 2 are from slightly different angles, the reversed pic being from a scosche more to the right of the Newsday pic (the Marine's ribbons are more obscured and the chandelier is more visible next to Odumbo's ear), then flipped. Also, it appears that the reversed pic has been lightened just a tad; the skin tones are a bit lighter than in the Newsday pic.
The original is here - this one has been Photoshopped.
