Obama picture photoshopped!

Postby Glenn_S on Sat Feb 02, 2013 5:50 pm

I pulled down the picture from this article, and it is obviously a photoshop job, and a bad one at that.

http://news.msn.com/politics/white-hous ... iring-gun/

This is so badly done, that even without blowing it up, you can see the halo around his head where they added him in.

And since when does a shotgun have vapor coming out sideways???

What a bunch of BS that will bite him in the arse...

That gun is ported and has an extended choke tube. Looks like something you'd commonly see out at the horse and hunt sporting clays courses.

Ok, my bad...I'm not a shotgun guy...

Pony, I worked in the printing and publishing industry for over 20 years, and I can tell you it has been doctored. Mark my words, it will come out as such...

And sorry, I'm not a truther and I do believe that he is legal to be president. I may be right of center, but I am not THAT far to the right...

Looks shopped to me too. Something just doesn't look normal about the lack of recoil.

Go to this site -

http://www.flickr.com/photos/whitehouse/8436110735/in/photostream/

Next, click on the photo to enlarge it.

A couple of questions come to mind. First, notice the barrel porting (holes in the barrel) towards the end of the barrel. Why aren't gases coming out of those holes? Instead it appears that the spent gas is coming directly out of the top of the gun. I haven't been around a lot of ported shotguns, but I've never seen one with porting on top of the barrel as in my mind this would obstruct your view for a follow-up shot. Second, there is an extended choke tube in the top barrel, but none in the lower, which I find odd. The shotgun looks like an expensive Browning clays gun, surely the owner would have two choke tubes.

Just like everything else with this president, the more we learn, the more questions are raised.

Don't most lefties....er....southpaws wear their watches on their right hand?
Also that watch doesn't appear in other photos of him. Another watch seems to be worn all other times...

Sry xd, I know a number of South paws that have their watches on their left. And a number of right handed that wear their watch on the right.

You guys are all wrong. The picture is actually of Bigfoot smoking a great big peace pipe packed with weed. It was photoshopped so the pipe became a shotgun, and Bigfoot became Obama. I could go into the symbology of why they used this photo, but I've got to start digging the chip out of the back of my head before the Templars zero in on my position. End communication.

Hmmmm..... I zoomed in, but can't tell if it's photoshopped. Not sure why smoke is coming out of the ports the way it is, but I don't see anything out of place. Maybe I'm one of those easily fooled masses, but I'm not convinced it's 'shopped.

For the record. When I shoot skeet I use one extended and one flush choke. Extended in the bottom. That's cuz I'm too cheap to buy another extended IC tube
