Did you all hear the latest bombshell on Rachel last night? Updated with link.

[The Backlash Cometh]

Cheney's book cover raised some brows. The background was exactly the same as the background of the room where Obama came out to report that he got Osama. You all don't think it was photoshopped, do you? It was an old photo of Cheney, looking his old fat self.

Edited to add link to video:

1. I thought that book cover was pretty sly, myself.

Just one more pathetic try at taking credit for himself, the creep...

[Little Star]

2. This thread needs a picture of said book cover.

4. I don't have the know-how to embed it. Maybe Rachel has a link

at MSNBC?

7. Thanks!

I found someone on DU who has the photo of Obama in his post, but I don't know how to lift it to post here.

10. right/control click on the pic, show the address,

copy the address, and paste it here. you can also show the pic in it's own tab/window and cut and paste from the url field.

3. Question- Did Obama have the room redone when he came into office?

And how much lead time was there on the book cover printing? If the room was redone and he had time to redo the cover, then this is pretty interesting.

5. I'm sure he had it steam cleaned

to remove any scum from the previous occupant.

8. It's hard to tell from the image in this thread but Cheney looks photoshopped in

That said, it could be a set as well.

11. This one is better - yep photoshopped

14. That's not really a room behind him, it's a hallway,

so there's not much to redesign.

The podium is at the entrance of the room, which is actually much smaller than you would think.

9. They obviously photo-shopped out the flames and other pitchfork-wielding devils.

:shrug:

12. Easy solution....

IF that were true (and I would bet my kids that it is far more opportunistic and coincidental than planned and intentional), then the very easy solution is to have President Obama use that exact same room and outfit and pin and camera angle to announce to the world Dick Cheney's eventual death...I mean for fuck's sake, the man already does not have an official heartbeat! Exactly how much longer can medical science keep his worthless husk of a body sucking down oxygen anyway?

13. A photo of Bush from May, 2003 of same hall

It appears there were changes at some point in time. Can't find any photos of Bush with the wooden doors added.
