Reuters Photographer Describes Staging Picture of Obama Delivering News of Bin Laden’s Death…

Until Wednesday, the White House debated whether to release photos showing Osama bin Laden’s body. In theory, the photos would be proof to any doubters that the terrorist is dead. But not all photos can be believed — not even when they seem to show the president of the United States making a historic speech.

Reuters White House photographer Jason Reed describes how the president made his speech to a single TV camera, then immediately after finishing, he pretended to speak for the still cameras.

Reed writes:

“As President Obama continued his nine-minute address in front of just one main network camera, the photographers were held outside the room by staff and asked to remain completely silent. Once Obama was off the air, we were escorted in front of that teleprompter and the President then re-enacted the walk-out and first 30 seconds of the statement for us.”

That means the photograph that appeared in many newspapers Monday morning of Obama speaking may have been the staged shot, captured after the president spoke.

    That’s a terrible pic he chose to have staged. With that open maw I keep picturing Larry Sinclair’s penis entering his mug.

    WTF?

    This is their modus operandi – to drive us all fucking nuts!

    Does it matter about the photo?

    I mean we’re fucking broke, we’re on the precipice, we’re losing our country and Reuters wants to talk about the timing when a photo was taken of Obama?

    ENOUGH ALREADY!

    Obama is so enthralled with himself, he acts like a little child and the press just accepts it .. the press ought to be pissing all over this fake.

    America is going down the tubes while Obama fiddles, and the press is quietly playing along … to hell with the press.

    Look, as much as I loathe this bastard the article clearly states this has been done by MANY administrations, Bush 1 and Reagan..so why the fained outrage at just Obama…this nit picky shit is what makes we-his opponents loose credibility-lets stick to the important shit to pound him on- OK

    Michael Savage is comparing the whole Bin Laden thing with the movie “Capricorn One”. The Movie about the Moon Landings being Faked by NASA. With All these Stories about Bin Laden Being Dead on more than one occasion, and the fact that Obama Refuses to release any Evidence because it may “Offend” his precious Muslim Buddies, and they keep changing the Story of what happened. It really makes you wonder. The Only thing keeping me convinced, is the Military and Seal Team Six. Then again, I haven’t heard anyone from the Military actually talk about this, Just Obama’s Corrupt Cabinet.

    Surprised? E V E R Y S I N G L E T H I N G about this president is FAKE.

    You are a FOOL to believe ANYTHING Obama says or does. There is ALWAYS, 100% of the time, a DIFFERENT reality to what he says, what he is doing or what his intentions are. He is a counterfeit.

    Who else do we know who is a counterfeit? Dreams of his father? You betcha! The father of all lies!

    @Emudude

    I agree, it is weird! Reports are coming out that there were NO WEAPONS in the compound??? For a guy who declared he would never be taken alive, is it possible he got so complacent he didn’t sleep with a gun. Didn’t even have one within reach?

    Supposedly, some random guy tweeted that he heard a helicopter very close, and wondered what was going on; if that guy heard a helicopter, wouldn’t Osama have heard it too! Wouldn’t it have given him time to grab a weapon/gun? But, NO WEAPONS!

    He was supposedly directing Al Queda and nobody was guarding him? Can it get any more weird? I think he was a dying guy, probably dialysis daily. Was he on his death bed?

    He needed to be gone, but the story is so weird! I do wish they would have brought in an independent expert/doctor, to do unbiased DNA testing, and be involved at the end, before he became fish food. At least there would be a third party to attest to who it is, and what went down. JMO

    I don’t know. This one doesn’t get me riled up too much. I’m sure that a bunch of press photographers are a noisy bunch of bastards.
