PHOTO 'Halo effect caused by backlight'

[Jackeens]

Love this caption (from Reuters): "President Barack Obama speaks about the economy during a visit to Hudson Valley Community College in Troy, New York September 21, 2009. Halo effect caused by backlight."

Um, what else would it be caused by? His messianic magnificence? Oh, wait..... :-)

2. Funny did they ever feel the need to say that about the bush?

[Posteritatis]

3. Probably less pants-wetting panic over it under him

If I saw it under Bush I thought it was either a neat or a pretentious photographic trick, depending on my mood.

Stuff like this terrifies a lot of the anti-Obama crowd, though.

4. If they DIDN'T explain it, the RW freaks would be frothing at the mouth about

how they were trying to make it seem like he was god-like.

5. There used to be a RW christian website that showed nothing but pics of

Bush with halo effects caused by backlighting. They tried to paint him as god. Don't ask for a link, I threw it away after I barfed.

21. Back in the day here on DU

many people here decried the use of such photos by bush and his PR people as a ham handed attempt to deify him.Such tactics have a long history of use by politicians and other leaders.
Unfortunately,many weak minded fools fell for it and think he is a man of god.

20. If he was white and had an (R) next to his name, the fundies would

be taking this as proof positive that he was Reagan reincarnated and build giant statues of him made of gold in their homes that they would masturbate to.
