Newspaper Doctors Photo to Shift Obama’s Position

The key words to use about Egypt’s Al-Ahram newspaper — “state run.” Never was that more clear than with this photo:

Newspaper Doctors Photo to Shift Obamas Position

Just your basic world leaders trundling along. But then a blogger noticed something unusual with the original picture:

Newspaper Doctors Photo to Shift Obamas Position

This isn’t exactly like finding Waldo.  You see the difference, right?  In the doctored photo at the top — Obama has been repositioned so that he is not leading the group!  Egyptian President Hosni Mubarek is now the leader.

This is not going over well in some Egyptian corners:

Opposition group 6 April Youth Movement also slammed the state-run paper, accusing it of being ‘unprofessional’ for running the altered image without notifying its readers that a change had been made.
The group said in a statement on its website: ‘This is what the corrupt regime’s media has been reduced to’. It added the paper had ‘crossed the line from being balanced and honest’.

No one at the newspaper is commenting about this — but they did replace the picture.

    JournOLists doctor the news every day to tell us recovery is right around the corner and that things are looking up, when we all know otherwise.

    When the media is biased and fails to report accurately. We the people suffer. This is the best way i know of destroying an honest free country. We are not immune…..the main stream media continues to report ONLY the things this administration WANTS. NO objectivity, NO looking into what’s REALLY going on. No wonder their ratings are in the tank, they’re nothing more than a megaphone for Obama’s propoganda.

    Quite frankly, I’m delighted to see our flaunting pig being put in his place. Does anyone remember the photo of Obama, Professor Gates and the police officer (who acted ‘stupidly’ acc’ding to POTUS) emerging from the back of the White House? Obama was strutting arrogantly 3 feet ahead, while the police officer was helping the elderly Gates, who obviously had trouble walking. What an arrogant peacock this man is!

    Department of America is a Government Organization that was created to recognize outstanding acts of Patriotism demonstrated by ordinary American Citizens.

    Sadly, in light of the current administration denying us use of our web domain, ‘departmentofamerica.gov’, and their revocation of our budget (but they did approve $17 million for an administration super bowl party) we are unable to post the following on our webpage. We also acknowledge that it is unlikely that the main-stream media* will recognize the following Award. Despite this we are pleased to share the following to the great patriots of this site:

    In Honor of:
    * The organization of the single largest (our official count was 985,317) peaceful patriotic demonstration since 1995, the “Restoring Honor” rally.
    * His dedication, promotion, and support for all the troops.
    * Boldly demanding justice, liberty, and restoration of our Country.
    * Continual pursuit of truth in media, including, “The Glenn Beck Program” and the creation of an honest and patriotic website, “The Blaze”.

    We Award the 2010 Department of America George Washington Patriotic Citizen of the Year Award to Mr. Glenn Lee Beck. Please join us in thanking Mr. Beck for his hard work and devotion to America. Thank you Mr. Beck for your contributions to this country, they have not gone unnoticed.

    that is absolutely THE WORST photoshop job i’ve seen in a long time that’s been published. i have been using photoshop professionally for 14 years now and know quality when i see it. this isn’t it. shadows are WRONG, when they flipped the guy on the left (sorry, don’t know all these ‘crats by name) they didn’t take into consideration that his clothing is now made for women. so, they made him a cross-dresser…isn’t that some sort of sin in islam? lol

    Obama has turned the Presidency into a joke. Most diplomats don’t even want to shake his hand. He’s a weak, indecisive and inflexable. He embraces our enemies and shuns the few allies we have left in this world. He has shown the world leaders that they can’t depend on him for any show of strength.( Other than his staged photo ops) He’s too busy trying to turn the USA into a third world country with his failed redistribution policies.

    This is absurd. I’m no fan of Obama, but when another country rips him or denigrates him, I have to draw a line. He’s OUR president. WE are allowed to mock and belittle him. Other countries are not. It’s like beating up your little brother. You’re allowed to do it, but if the neighbor kid starts beating up your little brother, then you’ve got to lay the smackdown on the neighbor kid.

      I’m not so sure about him being Our president, I think of him as a terrorist. Our president would not put down his country and people like he does everywhere he goes. Obama is bent on destroying America, not building it up. The Muslim world call him brother, if Obama was a Christian they would not call him brother!

      Look, guys, I don’t like that he’s our president, but he IS our president. He is NOT a terrorist. He’s just wrong on pretty much everything he does and says. I do not believe he has respect for the office he holds, but he still holds the office, and I still respect the office. If you believe he is not an American, then you have blatantly ignored the fact that the state of Hawaii released his birth certificate in 2008 and two Honolulu newspapers showed the announcement of his birth in their archives. You sound like a loon if you spout the birther crap. As far as whether or not he’s a Christian, I don’t believe he is. I also don’t believe he’s a Muslim. My take on President Obama is that he’s secular theist. He believes in God, but doen’t think God takes much of an interest in the affairs of man, and therefore he doesn’t take much interest in the laws of God. At least that’s my opinion of his opinion, if that makes any sense.

      He may be your president, but he is not MY president. I did not vote for him and would never do such a horrendous act to this great nation. To vote for and recognize him as president is borderline treason to what this country was founded on. He is not a leader and never will be and he sure isn’t leading me.

      WHITE has a point.
      There is very little–if ANYTHING to like about Obama, but for another nation to mock him is irritating. It also shows just how disgraceful the oval office has become, but that’s another story.

    The only way the man knows how to lead anything is this way – by altering his position. Perhaps if he would alter his positions on healthcare, immigration, the economy, etc. he could show some REAL leadership – as if that would ever happen!

    I was always taught to believe nothing what you hear. Now with photoshop we can no longer believe what we see.

    On a different note, Obama should be to the rear…he’s always kissing their butt anyway.

    You wonder why we question Obama about his religion? Why would they ask this of him if he is a Christian? Notice President Hosni Mubarek is the LAST and ALL the other leaders are FOLLOWING BO? Even the direction and color of the ties is wrong. Weird that they feel the need to re-position these leaders? Honestly, and they think we are just PARANOID.
