UPDATED, 5/24- Hmmmm: The Illusion of Obama's Bin Laden Raid Situation Room Leadership

My first impulse was to skim this article and leave it behind because it sounded too Rosie O'Donnellish, truther-ish...birther-ish and outside the pale for most national leaders to be accused of. However Obama is not in the mold of a national leader, but rather a juvenile, narcissistic poseur who regards the presidency as a toy to play with, to break and walk away from when he outgrows it.
Before discounting this article as another silly speculation - which it may yet prove to be - consider the credentials of the author which follow the article and try to explain some of the anomalies she describes in the photos.
Following all this, I'll leave the subject to the 'truthers' who follow. TD  Via Lucianne

Via American Thinker; Mara Zebest  "Apparently, my previous article on the famous "Situation Room" photo tapped a nationwide nerve.  The response ranged from some eye-opening tips on other photos to a few perplexed criticisms as to the motivation for Photoshopping a Situation Room photo.
"The answer to that latter question can be summed up in one simple thought: To hide the truth.  Obama was out golfing while the OBL mission was unfolding, and the administration needed the Situation Room photo op for public perception -- to give the illusion that he's presidential." 
....
"Not only is the photo's legitimacy in question, but so is the narrative illusion behind it.  Obama knew of OBL's location for a year and refused to act.".... 
...."At first glance, the image overwhelms the viewer with a massive backside of Obama's jacket -- oddly oversized shoulders and arms supporting another small-head redux. Any more photos like this, and one might start speculating that Jeebs is the inspiration."....
Yet just who is standing in this spot if not Obama?
...."Conversely, if the floating hand does not match the reflected man's hand, then where in the room is the reflected man (whose hand is near the chin)?  Not to mention that the body for the floating hand has still not been accounted for...." 

Mara Zebest is a graphic artist and co-author for a number of Adobe product books, including the Inside Photoshop series, which typically exceeded 1,000 pages, published in at least ten different languages around the world.  She is also tech editor for numerous books for both Adobe and Microsoft products and has worked closely with the Cold Case Posse (CCP) for Maricopa County Sheriff's Office (MCSO) in providing evidence on Obama's forged birth certificate. (Hence her impartiality may be in doubt, wouldn't you say?)



Update:  Media Matters Unhappy with AT Report on Situation Room Photo  "The Soros-funded website run by the eccentric David Brock featured American Thinker's article yesterday on the illusion of presidential leadership in the Bin Laden raid.  Unable to actually engage the detailed analysis offered in the article, Media Matters chose to highlight an anomaly the article considered and explained was not likely to be significant. Accusing AT of making an accusation we didn't actually make. That's par for the course with this propaganda exercise which pays lavish six figure salaries to its senior staff, including Brock, who reportedly has bodyguards provided by his employer."
