So now Obama's got a halo, too.

[pnwmom]

How do they manage to position him just so?

1. Remember when we used to make fun of Bush over stuff like that?

[pnwmom]

3. Yeah, unfortunately. Guess that means

they're all going to be doing this now.

Though I haven't seen a Hillary halo yet.

[sniffa]

16. Me neither

Though they manage to air brush out the horns in every pic.

[papau]

2. But Obama is the second coming - great photo!

[Occam Bandage]

4. Because like with Bush, photographers like to capture visually-striking images.

They take hundreds of photographs per event. Like Bush and his halos, they like to pull one of these occasionally.

[pnwmom]

6. It's not just the photographer, it's Obama's P.R. and graphics people.

No way was that circle shape done unintentionally. They planned for Obama to be standing in front of it.

[Occam Bandage]

9. That "circle shape" is his logo. It's an O. Like Obama.

And "standing in front of it?" Um, yeah. They did plan for it to be in the same room as he was. You can form a line through any two points.

[MonkeyFunk]

5. Any photographer would try to get such a photo

it's visually interesting. Having the circle offset behind him would look bad.

I always thought it was stupid to complain about "halo" pics, no matter who the subject is.

[pnwmom]

7. The P.R. people know that and take advantage of it.

Why wasn't the sign behind him shaped like a square or a rectangle? This was designed to have exactly the effect it had.

[Occam Bandage]

10. Because Obama doesn't start with a square. That's his logo. Go to his website.

[pnwmom]

19. Okay, that does make sense.

But I think I'm going to get tired of halo photos.

[MonkeyFunk]

11. umm...

that's his logo. :shrug:

[KittyWampus]

12. Regardless, the photo doesn't work as well as other 'haloes' cause it's not golden or light

it's a mundane red, white blue logo.

bleech!

[NoPasaran]

23. What's wrong with a red, white and blue halo?

Why do you hate America?

[Bluerthanblue]

17. hey-

thanks for being real- and not just grabbing the chance to bash your opponent.

We all need to do more of this-

You show your integrety-

I really appreciate this, and want you to know you have inspired me.

thanks!

peace~

[pnwmom]

18. I'm neutral with regard to Obama and Clinton.

I just found the picture unfortunately reminiscent of so many Bush photos.

[MethuenProgressive]

8. It's an old Bushie trick:

[Occam Bandage]

14. Heh. Freepers whined about liberal MSM photographers taking those

to make fun of him.

[Buzz Clik]

15. That's not a halo, that's a chef's hat.

[Buzz Clik]

13. Photographers get bored. This clever cameraman got a shot of Ashcroft...

with a horn coming out of his head.




And this one has him making a silly face

[RoadRage]

20. I certainly prefer the first one to the second one..

HALO: YES!



CROSS: NO!

[UALRBSofL]

22. OMG NOT HUCKLBERRY

He would have me burned at the stake. I don't even like to admit he's from my home state.

[elixir]

21. This is clearly a photoshop job.

[KittyWampus]

24. typical response from an .............. supporter (KIDDING!)
