Is there anything else real about the Obama regime? How many versions of the raid have we heard this week?
I got a feeling the country is reaching a tipping point of hearing about getting bin Laden. If Obama and the Dems keep overplaying their hand, they’ll be left with nothing but a man tryining too hard.
LA Times reports could the Obama White House communications folks have found anything else to step in over the presentation this week of their boss and the dramatic recounting and re-recounting of the execution and really rapid remains disposal of Osama bin Laden?
It turns out now that all of the non-White House still photographs of the president's dramatic entrance down the hall into the East Room and the late Sunday evening speech itself were faked.
They were not taken during the actual event, which was photographed only by official White House photographer Pete Souza during the live TV broadcast.
The widely distributed press photographs were, in fact, shot during a reenactment of the entrance, the firm presidential strides down the carpeted hall and the speaking by the president right after the real event, as reported by our astute colleague James Oliphant.
These staged news photos were immediately flashed around the world for millions to see with varying captions about the president reading his statement for photographers, distinctions that may well have been lost in translations and publications.
It is a minor matter unless truth is a concern.
Which isn't always the case in politics. (Anyone remember the planted townhall questions flap during the early Democratic primary campaign between Obama and Hillary Clinton?)
The Obama crew is not the first to bar professional photographers from a White House event and then offer a pretend presentation for subsequent "coverage."
