Obama's bin Laden Press Conference Photo was Staged (1 Viewer)

[PapaG]

By the way, claiming that the media is excluded from a nationally televised event is pretty funny. How do you think it got televised?

WH pool camera, no commentary allowed, no audience allowed. Afterward, the photogs were beckoned to take photos of the big moment where Barry walked confidently to the stage, where he delivered the first 30 seconds again.

What do you think WH pool means? Someplace where you go swimming?

Do you think WH employees are the same thing as the media? If I'm a journalist in the military, does that make me the same as someone who works for the NYT? You're not really this ignorant, are you?

The WH has an official photographer, and one camera allowed from teh press pool. You're flailing about tonight, because afterward, Obama had the media recreate his grand entrance.

I'm sure you'll be cheering for him tomorrow as the Prez makes his first trip to Ground Zero.

I'll be cheering for the SEAL6 unit who pulled off the mission.

Another dumbass post from PapaG. Denny quoted my post which didn't mention Bush and replied:



Try to keep up, "consultant".

I asked you the question I wanted to ask you.

Well, you obviously don't know what the whitehouse pool is. So maybe you should go look that up and get back to me about who is ignorant.

So the camera from the press pool isn't part of the media? Is that what you are claiming?

So what? Doesn't change the fact that PapaG didn't understand the context.

The White House Pool

 

[andalusian]

Why is it blue? Was it staged? How many takes to produce this picture? Transparency people. Transparency!

Uh oh, the veil of sarcasm is down! Barfo is posting for realz!

Restaging things seems a bit controlling to me. That's my opinion, though. I'm sure you'll come up with some snarky nonsequitor to amuse yourself and "prove" you're right

Hey, buddy, there's no right or wrong here, just opinions. My opinion is that staging is just as controlling as restaging. No snark necessary.

Staging is more controlling than re-staging. If it was properly controlled the first time - there would be no need for a retake!

How about PRE-staging?

 

[MickZagger]

Neo-Cons are digging deep to attempt to dish some dirt on Obama. Its pathetically comical.

 

[MickZagger]

I seriously dont understand why Repubs are so defensive right now. Shouldn't we all be happy that we killed the guy responsible for 9/11?

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

This is far from being "defensive".

 

[MickZagger]

This is far from being "defensive".

Whatever you say, boss.

 

[MickZagger]

Smearing Obama because he was the President when our country caught Bin Laden just wreaks of party insecurity.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

Total red herring.

Let's just ignore all of the suspicious events and circumstances as listed. They just keep on coming.

 

[MickZagger]

The only real event and circumstance that should matter is that we killed Bin Laden. Something that the world has been setting out to do for over a decade. Everything else is pretty silly IMO.

Red Herring by the repubs, indeed.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

Yes. Ignore everything! 9/11!!!!! :MARIS61:

[The Professional Fan]

The NSA guy (can't remember his name) that is sitting to the right of Clinton in the control room stated that they were not watching live video but real time updates. I watched an interview with him yesterday on MSNBC.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

I believe the item about there being no live video feed was for plausible deniability. So when this does go to investigation, they can ignore and say they didn't see it in real time.

 

[Minstrel]

How about PRE-staging?

Pre-staging? Is that like a conspiracy to fake an event, thereby allowing a staged photo op about the event?

ROME (Reuters) - An allergy and not anguish may explain why Secretary of State Hillary Clinton had her hand to her mouth while watching the commando operation to kill Osama bin Laden, she said on Thursday

.The photo shows Clinton with her hand to her mouth in what looks like a gesture of anxiety over the outcome of the operation.

"Those were 38 of the most intense minutes. I have no idea what any of us were looking at that particular millisecond when the picture was taken," she said on Thursday when asked about the photo during a visit to Rome.

"I am somewhat sheepishly concerned that it was my preventing one of my early spring allergic coughs. So it may have no great meaning whatsoever," Clinton added.

What, she doesn't remember being asked to pretend to act like they were watching a live feed of the OBL Operation, a storyline that Leon Panetta destroyed yesterday? Time for the excuses to roll in...

 

[DaLincolnJones]

more likely she was trying to hide a smirk at how they had trick fucked the country

Father Of 9/11 Victim: Obama "Putting Too Much Spotlight On Himself"

David Beamer, father of 9/11 victim Todd Beamer on FOX News: "I feel some chagrin now, though, about how the rest of it has been handled. And frankly it started May Day, 2011 when the president announced what had happened. The excessive use of the personal pronoun that he used in his remarks, I really felt that was the beginning of the Commander-in-Chief putting too much spotlight on himself, taking too much credit for what the remarkable Americans had done. And of course it's only now accelerated to a greater degree in the media. "
