Busted: The Economist and President Obama
Jeremy Peters at the NY Times notes how an image of President Obama, who was probably just leaning over a bit to hear someone speaking above the sound of lapping waves, made it on to the cover of The Economist without the person who was speaking.
It was the ideal metaphor for a politically troubled president.
There was President Obama on the cover of the June 19 issue of The Economist, standing alone on a Louisiana beach, head down, looking forlornly at the ground.
The problem was, he was not actually alone. The photograph was just edited to make it look that way.
Talking to a short woman. Now we see the picture!! With no short woman to listen to (and to be photo-shopped out), probly nose would have been stuck up in the air like usual.
