Obama Alters Photo of Himself?
Posted by Frank J. at 01:30 PM | View blog reactions | Comments (24)

While I just found what perhaps is another example of the Hillary camp taking a photo of Obama and altering it so he looks blacker, Obama may have done the opposite. Once again, look carefully at this untouched photo of Obama:

Now look how it appears on Obama's website:

Now I could just be imagining it, but I think they made him appear whiter. I contacted the Obama campaign about this, and they said any difference is just from some gamma correction they did to make the image contrast less with the website's background. Again, I'm no photography expert, so I guess I'll have to take their word for it.

I love the way he narrowed his lower lip. Damn white of him.

I like how they changed eye color. How does that make him white?

#2 - Posted by: James on March 7, 2008 01:55 PM

It's hard to find any notable difference this time. Even the warts look the same.

I do notice than in the lower picture his tie is bluer, suggesting that he's what we used to call ... "theatrical".

But he's never given us any reason believe that.

#3 - Posted by: Snarkrates on March 7, 2008 02:02 PM

Is it just me, or does the second photo look a lot like Howard Cossell?

#4 - Posted by: Darrencardinal on March 7, 2008 02:37 PM

I'm leaning towards Marv Albert, myself. Trying to remember what kind of perversion he got busted for....

Patrick Ewing, down low, takes it inside, YESSSSH!

And with the lighter skin tones, he'll do better at higher latitudes.

#6 - Posted by: Jimmy on March 7, 2008 02:57 PM

All that photoshopping and you couldn't do something about those ears?

#7 - Posted by: CraigO on March 7, 2008 03:12 PM

If I wasn't at work, I could make...I mean, show you the one he is using to court Irish-Americans for St. Patrick's Day. The red afro and green leprechaun hat are complementary colors, you know.

#8 - Posted by: Master Shake on March 7, 2008 03:20 PM

My barber tells me afros are on their way back in - someone asked him for one a few months back.

The more things change, the more they stay the same? We should all hope not. The 70's really sucked.

#9 - Posted by: George on March 7, 2008 03:57 PM

I like the "Michael Jackson" nose.

#10 - Posted by: FormerHostage on March 7, 2008 04:03 PM

I'm a white guy...what's with the tie? That's like totally gay! I wear a tie a lot and if I showed up in that tie my homies would take me out back and biatch slap the s*it out of me for being a homosexual!

#11 - Posted by: ussjimmycarter on March 7, 2008 04:15 PM

Is Obama trying to recast himself in the mold of Leonard Nimoy? I can understand the need for more logic and gravitas, but jeez. Decide for yourself....

Looks like Mathew Broderick.

Oprah has been doing this same thing for over a decade on her TV show.

She's at least 3 shades whiter on TV than she is in real life. Maybe she tipped Obama off since it's worked wonders for her.

#14 - Posted by: So? on March 7, 2008 06:34 PM

My thought was Habib Sinjawalla, proprietor of the Maple Street Stop-N-Go.

#15 - Posted by: David Ross on March 7, 2008 08:46 PM

Now that's just disturbing. How did he get Howard Cossell's toupee? Maybe more important, when?

#16 - Posted by: seanmahair on March 7, 2008 09:15 PM

I think he looks like Mister Rogers. All he needs is a zip-up cardigan and to change his shoes unnecessarily.

#17 - Posted by: motopolitico on March 7, 2008 09:29 PM

He's a Skrull, I tell you...A Skrull

#18 - Posted by: jim childs on March 7, 2008 11:16 PM

This could only be done by the republicans as a black man he was "untouchable" if you know what I mean. But as a white man, the last legitimate target for bigots, he can be beaten.

#19 - Posted by: on March 8, 2008 08:00 AM

So... Obama + Whiteness = Dennis Kusinich?

Also funny how whiteness adds 10-20 years. I'll have to be more careful picking up black women in bars. They might have kids my age.

#20 - Posted by: Kent on March 8, 2008 10:37 AM

Hey, keepin' the black man down is hard work!

#21 - Posted by: Master Shake on March 8, 2008 12:49 PM

Isn't that Bobby Jindal?

#22 - Posted by: Laura on March 9, 2008 12:48 PM

HILARIOUS! It's funny cause it's true. Obama tries to seem whiter and everyone else tries to make him seem blacker.

Obama wouldn't be here if he wasn't half white. We are to racist. The only famous full blood black i know of on TV is Whoopi Goldberg.

Also as a form of racism we ignore his GLARING flaws so we can support a black guy and seem less racist. Alan Keyes is facepalming as we speak.

#23 - Posted by: anonymous on March 9, 2008 01:50 PM

In the second one, he looks a lot like that Tony Robbins guy who did all of those motivational infomercials. Has anyone ever seen them together? Seems like Robbins used to blather on about change too...
