Obama's bin Laden Press Conference Photo was Staged

[Denny Crane]

Rather Nixonian. There are secret tape recordings, but we get to see a redacted set of transcripts that he made. At least he tried to pull that off.

 

[barfo]

Is that a "it's Bush's fault" thing, or a "it's OK because Bush did it too" thing?

No, it's a jesus christ, what is wrong with posing for a photo? It's not just that Bush did it, hell, I've done it.

I'm not criticizing him for posing for the photos. But the "Bush did it too" thing is REALLY old, and not much of a case for it.

You brought that up, I didn't. I'm sorry you are bored with your own posts.

I didn't post pictures of Bush in a flight suit.

It's a "It's inconsequential and every President does it" thing.

When Obama promised to have transparency in his administration, I don't think this is what we had in mind.

I don't think "we" cared about photo ops when he pledged transparency. Because, you know, they don't matter.

I'm beginning to think that Panetta is "Ulsterman's" White House Insider, and that the Dem establishment is now not afraid to go public with their contradictions of Obama's supposed leadership.

So contrived photo ops are cool, so long as there are no practice takes, eh? If there are, then they become fake, poisonous and deleterious to the health of the nation?

First take. Thanks for proving my point, Sug.

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, since you can't prove that it's normal in the modern era to do a second scene on "historic" photos released by the media.

I didn't either.

No one in the media, or in the administration, claimed otherwise on Sug's photos.

Plus, what is the point of the Reagan photos? I don't get it.

Doubt it. The photogs probably took a whole bunch of photos at that moment, and the one that was distributed was the one that looked the best.

This is fucking hilarious... you guys can't defend Obama without referencing Bush or some other Republican president. The issue still stands, if the supposed operations room photo was staged, WHAT PROOF DO WE HAVE THAT IT EVEN HAPPENED?

 

[PapaG]

I didn't either.

Another dumbass post from barfo. You accused Denny of bringing up Bush. Sug introduced those "first take" photos. What that has to do with this thread is puzzling.

The best part is that Leon Panetta says there was no live feed of the killing of bin Laden. I guess Panetta is now a Bushie for blowing the "Situation Room" photo out of the water!!! :MARIS61:

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

Try to keep up, "consultant".

Did Reagan or Bush exclude the media from the first nationally televised take, and then recreate it after letting the media in the room?

You Obama dong suckers are hilarious. Worse than the Bushies, IMO.

I don't think this is a big deal, although the picture should be credited as happening after the press conference, if that's when it was taken.

You are hilarious. Do you actually think this matters, or are you just pretending to be an imbecile?

Your act is soooo predictable when you have no valid answer, barfo. Even worse, you lack Minstrel's brain, so you can't even be funny when you have to resort to sarcasm.

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

I don't need an answer, there's no question being asked.

It's true, he is much smarter than me.

That's ok. I don't need to be smarter than him to feel ok about myself.
