Is it just me, or does this sumbich look PHOTOSHOPPED?



U.S. President George W. Bush smiles after addressing nearly 5,000 U.S. military servicemen at Osan Air Base in Osan, South Korea November 19, 2005. Bush vowed on Saturday 'we will stay in the fight' until victory in Iraq, rejected critics' calls for a troop pullout timetable and insisted progress is being made in Baghdad. (Adrees Latif/Reuters)

[Deja Q]

1. Just what sort of crazed "I'm drinking diarrhea" smile is that anyway?!

2. He's aged abot 20 years in the last few months.

10. He's not aging fast enough.....

Let's pump up the pressure!!

3. It's obvious...they photoshopped the smile...

After all Bush doesn't have a hell of a lot to smile about these days does he?

:banghead:

4. I watched this speech.

"The American people is with you."

His delivery was poor, even by his standards. He was either very tired, a little drunk, or both. He kept moving his jaw sideways nervously and darting his eyes around. He seemed very uncomfortable, I swear a couple of times it looked like he was struggling to stop from breaking down and crying.

It was very disconcerting. I don't like Bush by any means, but to have the President of the U.S. appearing to be on the verge of a nervous breakdown is not good. It makes me fear he may become even more irrational.

8. You watched what!!! You are richer than I am,

I can assure you of that right now. I cannot afford to buy a new TV so we purposely change the channels in my house anytime the fool appears on the TV, so I dont put my foot through any of them.

5. The shift in focus is odd

I looked up the byline. Adrees Latif. From Houston.

"Reuters editor Gary Cameron and Houston stringer Adrees Latif were also assigned to the games.

At the photographers meeting later in the day, Gary Hershorn encouraged up to think beyond the daily sports coverage model. We were free to get artsy, to use pans, blurs, and the forbidden zoom shot to offer our clients a different look at the games.

Using Reuters Picture Stream software in the office, the photos automatically dropped into their designated windows in one of four editing stations. The editor makes his selects and copy drops them to an adjacent machine, where it was Photoshopped, then passed on to be captioned, then sent to the MED desk for its final routing. Pretty impressive setup. "

11. That can be easily fixed...

...and NO ONE will detect the SUBTLE enhancement.
