Story from Breitbart: White House Warns: Don't Photoshop Obama Gun Pic

So...does this mean I can't do this?!! (Justin Bieber's legs BTW!)

Or that this guy can't do this?

How about this?

Would that be breaking the law?

UPDATE: Oh this is getting good! Here are some good ones from the comments below!

Bunch more here! Thanks AAAAANDRE

UPDATE 2:New Face Book Page: The Obaminator

UPDATE 3: Many people have wondered if the WH wanted the photo to be shared around the internet in actuality. Though clearly speculation, it is plausible considering:

LOL How rich. Don't photoshop

Submitted by Maeve on Sun, 02/03/2013 - 11:23.

LOL How rich. Don't photoshop our photo shopped picture. Members of the Oath Keepers group on FB have been picking that pic apart since it was published. They conclude that its photo-shopped to show him shooting. There are so many things wrong with the way he's holding the gun etc. that there is no way that its real.

They cant be that dumb....

Submitted by Raiders12 on Sun, 02/03/2013 - 10:47.

To demand the populace not to alter a photograph. They know that's simply impossible without outright martial enforcement. Already trying to mess with the 2nd amendment and now the 1st? Someone needs to alter the pic with a dildo in his hand and clown hat with circus music looped....

Skeet Shooting?

Submitted by KenMenard on Sun, 02/03/2013 - 10:00.

Is it just me? When I would skeet shoot in high school, (yes, we had a skeet shooting club in high school), our guns were normally level when we started, but by the time we pulled the trigger, they were angled up into the air.

Search for other pictures on the Internet of people skeet shooting if you want, but Obama is not skeet shooting in this picture.

He could be shooting Trap, similar to skeet, but lower trajectory.

Perhaps...

Perhaps he's hunting for a friend, like Cheney?

Folks, it's one of either two cases

Submitted by Cyril on Sun, 02/03/2013 - 09:58.

"This official White House photograph [...] may not be manipulated in any way and may not be [...] blah blah blah."

Ok, folks, so, it's on the World WILD Web, now... and it's one of either two cases; yes, either:

1. they DO intend to provoke the unleashing of people's imagination and lock them all up once spotted culprit of the forbidden - using NDAA or whatever will work as a test drive for Tyranny Phase II

OR

2. THE WHITE HOUSE CREW IS NOW GOING FULL RETARD

...

Either way:

God Help Us!

Submitted by RobHino on Sun, 02/03/2013 - 03:32.

also as someone pointed out below, perhaps the flickr file was loaded with something.

Of course it could also be standard operating procedure to restrict usage (this), but of course, it's more fun to speculate otherwise!
