Jack Cashill, author of the charmingly insane book Deconstructing Obama, claims to have unearthed yet another shocking bombshell about Barack Obama's past. According to Cashill's WorldNetDaily column this morning, this photo of young Barack Obama and his grandparents in New York is a forgery into which Obama has been photoshopped:



Cashill writes: "The bench is real. The grandparents are real. The wall behind them is real. Barack Obama is not. He has been conspicuously photoshopped in. Who did this and why remains as much a mystery as Obama's extended stay in New York." He embeds a YouTube video that claims to have uncovered the "real" photo, seen below, in which Obama is nowhere to be seen:

Look closely

1. The lighting is all wrong.

Obama doesn't even fit into the picture imo.

[me b zola]

2. lol, well his knee does

:rofl:

[Rex]

3. Yes he has that special woolen blend fabric that absorbs all light

is that Neo!? Majic fabric! :rofl:

9. The top one's real, the bottom one's the fake.

Whoops, I guess you saw that. Never mind.

4. Also, look to the right of Obama's Grandmother...

...in the faked "no Obama" version.

Look at the texture of the wall behind the figures, on the right side of the picture, the rough-textured area was obviously extended to fill in where Grandma was, originally, by an extremely poorly executed use of the cloning tool.

Truly bad photoshop "skills" in full glorious amateur display, for the world to see.

Pathetic, almost laughable if not for the evil intent of the photoshop hack responsible for this piece of shit.

5. Don't you just hate feeling like the fifth knee?

Yea me too :rofl:

[LynneSin]

6. Everytime I snuggle with my loved one that damn knee gets in the way

:rofl:

[JoeyT]

7. Oh, look at that.

His grandfather grew an extra knee.
I'm not sure it was worth it, though. It appears to have cost him his left hand.

8. Those are light absorbing fibers...Obama clearly is wearing a cloaking device.

:crazy:

[Maru Kitteh]

24. What are you talking about? really.

[JohnnyRingo]

27. They left Obama's knee in the real fake

[Warren DeMontague]

10. Amazing, too, how the "fake" image is far better quality- like, less blurry- than the "real" one.

I haven't seen a scoop like this since Hillary Clinton hung a crack pipe on the WH Christmas tree. Call FOX News, we're going to TARDCON 5!

11. What would anyone hope to gain from doctoring the photo?

I don't think that photoshop was involved but why would anyone go to the trouble?

[blogslut]

17. You mean the original?

Well, from what I understand, I think the birthers claim that Obama made many trips to Kenya or something, so he could get his orders from the secret cabal that tells him what to do

[freshwest]

12. I don't get it. I'm glad they've passed and don't to watch their grandson be treated like this.

Guess Donald Trump will be writing an editorial for WND soon.

13. Lol, the grandfather lost his hand ~

An extra knee and a missing hand!
:rofl:

[rufus dog]

15. was the knee born in the US?

[sabrina 1]

19. Lol! That's a question for Oily Taitz ~

[inademv]

14. Also check out the wall to the right of the Grandmother

in the bottom picture. This guy is such a hack that it is almost funny.

[Warren DeMontague]

18. Attack of the Clone... tool.

Yeah, it almost reads like an instruction manual on how NOT to photoshop.

[Cobalt-60]

16. As Jed Clampett once said : pitiful

Is this the best the fascists can do?

[murielm99]

20. What is that hand hovering there over Obama's

shoulder? Was Thing from the Addams family a friend of the grandparents? I wonder if Thing was hurt about not being invited to the inauguration. He could have worn a nice warm glove.

21. Barack Obama is not real???

omg... hope Glenn Blech can reveal this before he goes off the air!

[Tx4obama]

23. LOLOLOL! Who would try to fake a photo and leave Obama's knee there? !!!! n/t

[chollybocker]

25. Aha! Grampa is really the one-armed man from the Fugitive!!!

That explains....stuff ?

[JohnnyRingo]

26. They would have gotten away with it too...

If it wasn't for you meddling kids and your dog



No need to call in Nncy Drew on this one.

[sinkingfeeling]

28. Why can I still see Obama's knee between grandpa & grandma in the 'real' photo?

[Permanut]

29. Sheesh, people,

The second picture is not intended to be factual, okay?

[Clouseau2]

30. It's confusing but

1) WorldNotDaily claims Obama pic is a photshopped fake
2) To "prove" it's a fake (because of course Obama was in Kenya, or Indonesia, or Russia, or whatever) he shows the "original" without Obama

The "original" still has Obama's knee in it somehow is blurrier and of a lower resolution than the "fake."
