Jihadi 101: Un-Photoshopped pic shows true nature of Obama’s “school.” 

The class photo of Barack Obama’s fifth grade class is a fake. That’s what a photographer and seventies fashion expert is saying, claiming he sees tell-tale signs of airbrushing and Photoshop hijinx.

Brent Gitchenstein, former airbrush master for Dog Fancy Magazine, said the picture taken in 1972 purports to show Obama with a group of his classmates in Hawaii. However on closer inspection, the photo appears to a well-crafted fake, with several people airbrushed out and objects altered.

“Note how everyone in the damn class has a moo moo, except Barack, who’s in this subdued brown number,” said Gitchenstein. “Nobody was that cool in the seventies. Who is he, the Fonz?”

There are other discrepancies. Several of the children are not wearing shoes, violating Hawaii’s school codes on mandatory sandal and flip-flop footwear.

Gitchenstein pointed out further that the hairstyles are more of a current take on 1970s-style hairdoos. Obama, suspiciously, has a shorter and more modern cut.

“Are you telling me you’re a child of revolutionaries and you aren’t wearing a dashiki and sporting an Afro?” Gitchenstein asked rhetorically. “Hey. Hey. Ho. Ho. That damn barber has gotta go.”

Gitchenstein said he also contacted several classmates who are in the picture, including the kid on the first row on the left, who said he never made that weird face and believed Obama altered the picture to make him look bad after they had a fight over who recited the Koran better. They later argued over who would be better fit to serve Islam by using the inherent weaknesses of a democratic system and naivete of Americans to destroy the West from within.

Gitchenstein painstakingly recreated the original picture, revealing Obama’s true class–or Madrassa–photo. Producers at 60 Minutes and Al-Jazeera have been in contact with him, he said.

“Where’s Dan Rather when you need him,” Gitchenstein said. “He understood this type of stuff.”
