You know what I've noticed about images of Obama?

He has a set of jug ears - nothing wrong with that, but if you look at
images of him head on, they are photoshopped to flatten them out.

I first noticed this yesterday when I got my US News and World
magazine - I checked images in Time and Newsweek - they all need to
get the same photo editor because the differences in how they treat
his ears are markable. :)

Another thing they do is thin out his nose - what that means, I don't
know - again, it's just something I noticed - nothing wrong with it -
happens all the time, but the problem is that different editors do it
in different ways.

You'd figure they would come up with a template and pass it around.

It will be intersting to watch the "debate" tonight - be the first one
I watched this season.

Now I am going to have to check that out, I have never noticed what you
are saying, but I have noticed that in most of Hillary's photos she
looks silly, stupid or crazy with really weird expressions. Since these
are included in left leaning news sources, I can't figure out why they
don't have some more flattering photos of Hillary. They look like
photos Saturday Night Live or Jon Stewart would use as part of a comedy bit.

I agree - I can't figure if that's intentional or not. It's not like
she's - um...gorgeous, but she has a certain unresolved beauty. I
also think that she has a body image issue in that you almost never
see her wear skirts or medium length dresses - it's always heavily
tailored pants suits in flat colors. Maybe she has piano legs, but
then so did Thatcher and Golda Mier. :)

In my opinion, not that it means anything, I think she would have been
much better off with louder, more splashy wardrobe and darker makeup -
she presents as pasty white which isn't very healthy looking. She
might have taken a shot at skirts and dressed anyway.

Then again, she wouldn't be who she is if she did that.

Hey - it's not about the clothes, but for a woman running for what has
been traditionally a male job, you'd think she needed to emulate more
female characteristics than male.
