Protester Slips Obama A Note

By on November 25, 2011 in News 48

This man mysteriously turns up at pivotal points in history and gives leaders the information/warnings that they need to hear. Via Paid To See:

A protester handed President Barack Obama a note while shaking hands along a rope line in New Hampshire today. AP photographer Charlie Dharapak smartly zoomed in so you can read the note for yourself.

    Could someone please tell me how any of this i.e. ‘our economy’ is Obama’s problem?

    Obama actually read the note, the guy didn’t get shot, and he’s not in Gitmo?

    What is our Society coming to?!

    I applaud the mans nerve…since he’ll probably be on TerrorWatch Lists for the remainder of his living days…

    …but his naivete is off the charts.

    Even if, after Ivy League education and Chicago politics, that note had been handed to a man with sufficient conscience and empathy to give a reamed f*ck whether anyone else lived or died…we’d already be mourning him. Quite the paradox, eh?

    it’s simple
    he works for the 1%
    who control the “economy”
    so the note is kinda like
    giving the 1%’s butler
    a note to the bosses
    in hopes of better slavery conditions
    and maybe
    better deals at WalMart

    “This man mysteriously turns up at pivotal points in history and gives leaders the information/warnings that they need to hear”

    Was this a sarcastic comment? It really feels like you all can really stretch to apply some air of mystery or conspiracy to a story where there is none apparent.  It’s little things like this that really tell me the credibility here is really doubtful.

  • Guestservices

    I don’t have any doubt about him getting the note.  I do have doubts about what was written on it. That still shot looks doctored to me.  And no one would misspell or forget to put words on a note that important to the president.

  • Ryleehaha

    Ok, if you’re going to assert that “This man mysteriously turns up at pivotal points in history and gives leaders the information/warnings that they need to hear”, then you’d better have the corroboration to back that up, otherwise you just make yourself look either extremely disingenuous, or extremely naive if someone else said this and you’re repeating it.

    Doctored, or two different photo’s taken from differing angles: 1) The shadow on Obama’s thumb is different (note the lighting on the thumbnail). 2) In the first photo Obama’s left index finger knuckle is sitting below the corner of the note, in the second photo the knuckle is well to the left of the note. 3) In the left photo Obama’s thumb appears to touch the fifth line from the bottom, in the right photo his thumb does not go up that high on the note. 4) The paper is at a different angle.

  • Anonymous

    AP photographers page states that it is two photos…obviously from two angles (look at background)…hence two flashs…differing shadows.  Try holding a square of paper between your fingers and thumb..slide your thumb a little…the angle of the paper and your fingers changes. Astounding.  You need a shave, try an Occam’s.

  • Big T

    According to Occam’s razor, I submit that it is just a random dude who handed a note suggesting the rather common agenda of the protesters, it happened to be caught on camera…your point?

    Let’s face it folks – we need a party to represent the people.  Obama promised change but this has been one of the biggest disappointments in presidents I can recall.  (Bush didn’t disappoint – he and Cheney were every bit of evil we expected and then some.  At times I was in awe of how evil and self-serving they were).

    Sure, I’ll vote for Obama again but god damn it – we need a better system.  Why does Germany have two breakfast cereals (muesli and muesli with nuts) and 30+ political parties and we have 148 different breakfast cereals and only 2 political parties.    (Seems like we really do value starting the day with the most important meal of the day)

    We just completed “Black Friday” where more people went shopping then voted in the 2008 elections. 

    Like the old maxim – it will be a great day when the air force has to hold a bake sale to buy a new bomber, I look forward to the day where I see people scrambling over one another and spraying each other with pepper spray so that they can vote.

    As far as i’m concerned, unless irrefutably stated otherwise, Sloan just said for the lulz. Ok, haha.

    Cool story bro.

    Well those people are stupid too Lol. Not even trolling, its true.

  • Gergith

    Or they could just be a Fringe fan… Just saying ;-)

    Ever watch Fringe? :) Too bad this guy has hair and isn’t wearing a fedora….. 

  • Ryleehaha

    No troll will ever say they’re a troll. 
    If i’m such an idiot, why even bother to make a reply, except that it gives you some kind of little head rush? Ok, enjoy yourself!

  • Ryleehaha

    Of course, the bald guys are “the observers”, they’re not supposed to interfere, unless they’re trying to rectify a previous interference… Oh no, you don’t suppose…?  =O

    Obama Suddenly got Spam. 

    Sorry couldn’t resist… :)

  • Ghostlore777

    Wow my humblest apologies. I didn’t read anything stating it was two photos, only read that it was zoomed in, which is why I stated that it was either doctored, or “TWO DIFFERENT PHOTOS TAKEN FROM DIFFERING ANGLES.” Ahem.
    As for your Occam’s comment, very clever. However the problem with your razor analogy is that one man’s ‘shave’ is another man’s stubble, in much the same way that one man’s ego is another man’s lack thereof.
    For the future I’d suggest you be careful you don’t cut your own throat with your observation.

    Humility and throat cutting, one of my favorite juxtapositions, that’s why I start my day with a straight, double-hollow ground.  It sets such a nice tenor to coax the wire in the blood to tumid vigor.  Your concern for any propensity that I may have towards self-harm is kindly appreciated, though I can assure you I have long ago abandoned any course so exsanguinous.  Much preferred would be a Glasgow grin, or perhaps a one-sided variant the Sardonic smirk.

    my note would say. “wwww. chickswithdicks .com all chicks with dicks all the time”

  • patrick

    and no non-troll would ever say they were a troll, so we’re back at square one. Also I think it’s perfectly normal for people to reply to idiots on the interwebz,,,haven’t you noticed that ppl do that quite often?

    It’s a common misconception that you can zoom into a photo and get more detail, thanks to stupid shows like CSI. “Can you enhance that?” has caused me more “I’m gonna slap you” moments over photoshop requests than any other single piece of graphical misinformation out there. The only way something can actually be zoomed in is if the photographer used a zoom lens to take a close up shot, which would have required a second shot (even if this didn’t say it anywhere), or if the original is so high a resolution that the information is already present, in which case you’re not actually “enhancing” anything, you’re viewing at the original resolution and the smaller image would have been the zoomed out version. Common mistake. You can blame pop culture for its total ignorance of any actual principles underlying the way digital imaging works.
