Is this photo of Obama's mother photoshopped?

What makes you think it's photoshopped in the first place?

His mothers hand is Black ? look close at the hand next to Obamas arm . Same photo was used on Huff Po as well . I did a image search and only could find that one .
 
No takers ?

Not sure about the picture but we've had military industrial or CIA puppets as presidents for a while now. Look at it this way, the fact that they apparently tried to get rid of him with another 911/Benghazi mixed in with the theatrical production of other riots around the world and the fact that he's been dragging his feet on Syria (To the extent that a puppet can drag his feet against his strings.) might be a good sign. What do you think would have happened if Romney Inc. had been elected? We'd probably already be fighting over Iran's path to the sea at the behest of Israel, no matter what might be in our own interests as Americans... etc.

I've always wondered if perhaps we should just move to Israel so that we could have more representation in our own government. Just kidding. They don't really have much representation in their government either.

Puppets is exactly what we got , Meet the new boss same as the old Boss . :)

The hand is either in shadow, or they altered her to look whiter than she really is, or started to make her blacker but forgot to finish because....? F***ed if I know.
The other guy's forearm is very dark where it goes behind (Obama's?) elbow.
Joe, I think your hatred of Obama may be affecting you to see things that aren't there.

Wait, you believe any event in the world that comes to any international attention is orchestrated?
Oh, don't bother answering, I don't care.
 
This is from the more original version of the photo:


I don't think it's her hand, as that would make the arm too long. I think she's just holding something that's behind them. See the two black "antenna" above and the white things below. She's holding a toy or something.

Seems ridiculous anyway, as there's plenty of other photos of her.

Well what many believe is that it is Frank Marshall Davis that was Photoshoped out of the photo . I thought Id try to find a image without the darker hand . Its clearly the hand of a male not a female . This also has nothing to do with my dislike of Obama only my distrust and all the mystery surrounding him . He is just a puppet .

An Expert Photoshop Analyst reports that the photo officially released by Barack Obama on his personal Facebook page is a forgery. The Black male hand under Obama's right armpit does not match Dunham's right arm and there are many other Photo Anomalies. Is this photo part of a pattern of document forgery by President Obama to hide his biological and ideological relationship with Communist Frank Marshall Davis?

1. The Black hand under Obama's right armpit doesn't match Ann Dunham's right arm. The size and color is wrong for a white female, and the hand is positioned closer to camera than Ann's arm. The hand appears to be a remnant from a Black male before it was air brushed.
2. The chair on the far left next to Ann Dunham is brown, and smaller than the chairs on the right which are white. The horizontal support bar for the brown chair does not align with the white chairs' support bar.
3. Ann Dunham's hair over both her right and left shoulders show signs of airbrushing.
4. The lighting on Ann Dunham's face is from the far left, and is not consistent with the others who are lit from above. This suggests Ann Dunham's image was placed into this scene from a different photo.
5. Above and below Obama's right elbow, there is a ghosting effect where a glow emanates from the arm, suggesting a different underlying image such as a light-colored shirt behind Obama. Uneven pixilation is a sign of cloning.
6. Ann looks to be about 25 years old, too young for this 1973 photo. Obama's half sister Maya (born Aug 15, 1970) looks to be about 3 years old, so Obama is would be 12 and Ann should look 30 years old.

It's nonsense. It's just a brown blob, it could be anything. They start with a crappy low resolution jpeg file, which is not even the original photo, and then read things into compression artifacts.

Here's the original from Facebook:


Here's the "hand" in the original:


The chairs are different colors. It's just nonsense. Grasping at straws. There's no mystery here.

And again, there's so many other photos of them, why fake this one?

Looking at it more, it seems like it's something he's carrying tucked under his armpit, like a baseball glove.
 
I agree Id just throw the photo out rather then go through the trouble of photoshoping in my mother if I were trying to hide something ? Or maybe Id do it on purpose as a game . Its clearly a hand not a glove . like the BC and SS and records it all adds to the mystery and I believe its all a diversion .

It's not clearly a hand at all. It's a brown blob with a couple of lighter blobs that look like a couple of knuckles. You are just primed to think it is a hand because of the position. Subtract the mother and show it to someone:

So it's something floating in his arms? It doesn't seem to affect his shirt as though he's holding it in between. It doesn't cover up any part of his arm or shirt in any visible way. It seems to be behind him. I personally think it looks like her hand although like Mick said, it would make her arm seem a little too long. Not really sure what the point of someone photoshopping this picture is though.
 
In the blown up pic I see a white dot above "the hand." I think that is the remainder of her arm in the background of whatever that thing is. If it were a hand it looks to belong to someone huge. Again that was in Bizarro World where the President evidently had no young pics of himself with mom and HAD to photoshop her in for no important reason whatsoever.

Unless its someone you dont like ? Like ripping out a picture of a x friend ? Or just to stir the pot ? who know but it was at one time posted on his facebook . Just proves everything about him is Fake . :)
 
There is nothing fake about it. The only thing 'fake' I see, is folks making a big deal out of it.

So if someone photoshops a picture of Obama, that means Obama is fake? I doubt he would have anything to do with the picture being faked. It sounds to me like you're trying to justify your hatred for Obama by creating some conspiracy around this photo. It seems like it's simply unexplainable.
It could possibly be her OTHER hand.

The conspiracy is in the video above I didnt create it . Debunk it or move on .
 
I'm starting to think maybe someone who doesn't like Obama photoshopped it, and is saying Obama did it.

I did watch the video. It seems the person who made the video is just pushing a conspiracy theory with no evidence at all to back up their claim. It's a case of them seeing what they want to see, not what's really there.
I don't need to debunk that video; the person who created the video first needs to show a little evidence of their claim before anything can be debunked. Using an old blurry picture and pointing out some minor inexplicable oddity and then trying to say it was some guy's hand, I'd really like to see where they came up with this at.
 
A couple of things that get me about the whole 'Pres Obama's father is Frank Marshall Davis" thing is that then REMOVES the birth certificate issue (I noticed that the 'Davis theory' started showing up when the birth certificate hype started dying down. Frank Marshall Davis' son has denied it.

For those not up on the 'scandal', Frank Davis was a friend of Pres Obama's grandparents. He was not communist, he was an activist for such things as the integration of military, and end to anti Semitic laws, The right of soldiers in a war zone to vote and such.

Although my research indicates that Davis joined the CPUSA as a "closet member" during World War II, there is no evidence that he was a Stalinist, or even a Party member before WWII. Further, to those attempting to make the specious stand for the concrete, there is no evidence that he instructed Barack Obama in communist ideology. Frank Marshall Davis did NOT believe in overthrowing the USA. He was committed to what the nation professed to be. For him, communism was primarily an intellectual vehicle to achieve a political end-a possible tool for gaining the constitutional freedoms of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness for ALL Americans"[26].

(2) Professor Tidwell wrote that THESE were the “radical” goals of Frank Marshall Davis: (1) integration of armed forces; (2) integration of AFL and CIO; (3) fair wages and other benefits for workers; (4) general dismantling of all laws supporting racial segregation; (5) end to laws supporting anti-Semitism; (6) end to atomic warfare; (7) rights for soldiers in combat zones to vote in national elections; (8) support for Fair Employment Practices Act; (9) support for a broad United Nations (not just US and Great Britain forming a world power union); (10) end to restrictive covenants in real estate [32]. PLEASE NOTE: These have mostly become mainstream standards by the 21st century. Frank Marshall Davis was not out of line. He was just ahead of his time!

Information from Davis' 601 page FBI file reveals that Davis (born 1905) became interested in the Communist Party USA as far back as 1931.

In June of 1950, a person Frank Marshall Davis was trying to recruit into the Communist Party revealed to the FBI, that his interest in the Party went back to 1931 with the Scottsboro and Angelo Herndon cases.

Certainly from the mid/late '30s to the early '40s Davis was involved in several Communist Party fronts including the the National Negro Congress, the League of American Writers, the National Federation for Constitutional Libertiesand the Civil Rights Congress.

The FBI first began tracking Davis in 1944 when they identified him as member of the Communist Party's Dorie Miller Club in Chicago-card number 47544.

As he was elected to the Communist Party convention that year and had to be a member for at least one year prior to that to be elected, he had been a member at least since 1943. The May 1944 convention changed the name of the Communist Party to Communist Political Association. Earl Browder, the Party leader, would later be accused of "dissolving" the Communist Party by changing its name. In June 1945, another convention was held, Browder was removed from leadership and the Communist Party USA name was restored. In early 1945. Davis was reported by the FBI to be a member of the Carver Second Ward West of the Communist Political Association, and by 1946 a member of the Carver Club of the Communist Party.

Davis' wife, Helen Canfield Davis, was a member of the Paul Robeson Club of the Communist Party of Chicago and her 1947 Communist Party card number was 62109.

Davis taught courses at the party controlled Abraham Lincoln School in Chicago and attended meetings of the party's Cultural Club until he left for Hawaii in 1948.

One of Frank Marshall Davis's last public acts[4]in Chicago, before leaving for Hawaii, was to MC a symposium "Problems of the progressive writer" October 27 1948 at the Ingleside Inferno, 6346 South Ingleside, for Students for Wallace-the University of Chicago youth wing of the communist dominated Progressive Party.

The Wikipedia page for Frank Marshall Davis does not describe him as a communist. A lefty sure but not a member of the communist party. His FBI file might say that and maybe it is true. So what? How does it answer the question Is this photo of Obama's mother photoshopped.
 
We need to remember the 'red scare' of the Mc Carthy era where anyone on the left was branded as a communist


. Joining the CPUSA: Frank Marshall Davis rejected the "horror of socialism." He was a capitalist who supported free enterprise by small business, which he believed were being ruined by monopolies. He owned two paper companies, and sold advertising specialties, in Hawaii.

a. Nevertheless, he joined the CPUSA during WWII, just as the United States joined the Soviet Union during WWII, not because they shared the delusion of a communist utopia. Each was a marriage of convenience. He joined because membership had its privileges, such as professional and social opportunities. He considered membership in the CPUSA as a "vehicle and tool" because, according to "The New Red Negro" (cited by AIM's Cliff Kincaid as a source) [25]:

"ONLY the Communist left had any significant institutional impact on African-American writing during the 1930s and 1940s. This support was crucial as the institutions that had maintained the New Negro Renaissance faded. And for better or for worse, the leading CPUSA functionaries involved in "Negro work" took a direct interest in African-American cultural production in a manner that was unusual, if not unique."

b. Vilifying a writer for continuing to publish in CPUSA-supported publications, when they provided his only significant institutional support, is completely unfair. Langston Hughes, Richard Wright, and Frank Marshall Davis all took advantage of this institutional support.
...

2) "A huge proportion of African-American poets (and writers and intellectuals generally) remained engaged with the Communist Left and cultural institutions from at least the early 1930's until at least the early 1950's. With the partial exception of the period from the German invasion of the Soviet Union to the end of the Second World War, the CPUSA placed the issue of race and the fight against Jim Crow near the center of all its work.
...
In his January 26, 1950 Honolulu Record column “Free Enterprise Or Socialism,” Davis said that socialism was a "HORROR"! He said that we didn't have free enterprise any more, and that collusion between monopolies and the Truman administration was "fascist." Davis supported small businessmen, which he considered a "casualty" of monopolies. He said they are the BACKBONE of free enterprise. He said we had to decide to OUST the monopolies, which were driving us down the road to ruin, and restore a competing system of free enterprise. From the ACTUAL Davis column:

(1) "As for free enterprise, it doesn't live here any more. At the same time we have manufactured a national horror of socialism. Meanwhile, the dictatorship of the monopolies is driving us down the road to ruin. And so, with still rising unemployment and a mounting depression, the time draws nearer when we will have to decide to oust the monopolies and restore a competing system of free enterprise, or let the government own and operate our major industries."

(2) "Backbone of Free Enterprise Broken: In this control by monopoly, the small businessman, the backbone of free enterprise, has been a casualty. He cannot compete against the tremendous financial reserves of the huge monopolies, and thus we find more and more forced into bankruptcy or absorbed by the monopolies. Those small businessmen who supported the Marshall Plan have been unable to get but a pittance of orders, for here it's the Big Boys Who, through their contacts with official Washington, walk off with the fat contracts" [5].

At that time there was no place for a black activist in either of the major parties. He was no more willing to 'sit down and shut up' than the folks were that started the Tea Party.

Mc carthy was 100 % percent correct and most were in Chicago . http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Soviet_agents_in_the_United_States . https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venona_project LOL like your source talk about Disinformation
 
Mccsrthy was nothing more than a modern day witch hunter. He destroyed so many careers and lives, that if there is a hell, he is there now.

upload_2013-7-17_22-10-16.png Nice source Frank Marshall Davis Son ? If he is in hell he with a lot of those communist pigs . He is a Hero
 
Is there a problem with that? He is a retired US Air Force Intelligence officer. A solid American citizen.
 
 
He was NOT a pedophile. Unless you consider anyone that write novel that has one in them a pedophile.

He wrote a NOVEL not an autobiography.

Try a different source of information other than a right wing site.

Joe you seem to like disinformation when it agrees with you, don't you?

Seems you do the same as well . If it fits your narrative . :) The PDFs are from the FBI
 
Of course he would defend his father . Frank Marshall Davis (1905 - 1987) was an author, liberal activist, Stalinist agent, self-admitted pedophile[1] and early mentor to U.S. President Barack Obama.[2] http://www.conservapedia.com/Frank_Marshall_Davis

You provide links after you make your claims he was a pedophile and Stalinist to the DEFINITIONS? Here I thought these links would take me to actual proof of your bogus claim. INstead it goes to a conservapedia page? A site that exists because of someone's repugnance towards anyone who does not think the same as they do? You know know bounds in expressing your personal disgust of anyone who doesn't lean so far right they fall over.
