This camera guy was either extremely lucky, photo retouched or Obama posed for this shot. Regardless it appears as he has power in his hands.

Have you seen other Obama photos that feature him in this fashion?

I didnt read that in to this photo at all.

I havent seen other Obama photo's like this, but I have seen them from other campaigns. Our state Govenor race has one TV commercial where the GOP is slamming the Dem candidate. They show her in extremely bad photo's. Bad quality of images, looks like no makeup.

I hate campaign season.

Really? I did a fast Google search and the FIRST photo I clicked on featured yet more cosmic energy crackling from his fingertips! LOL. I could be wrong.. but the photos exist.

There is also a thin white (radiant?) border around his entire body. Looks like a photo fix to me.

Looks like the effect of a light shining towards his back to me!

Perhaps he learned from the example of Nathan Petrelli and is slowly revealing his superpowers to the world rather than attempting to surprise us with them all at once.

Heroes anyone?

I think people who favor him for president will stop at nothing to elevate his status to something greater than the average president. Something almost divine. People who favor him use superlatives that do not get used with any other candidate. "Gonna change the world. Gonna rearrange it." Who has been credited with having that much power and ability before? "We are the ones the world has been waiting for." Really? The world?? He sees himself as something more than the Chief Executive in our Constitutional framework. He sees himself as someone who will supercede that and be something more. What all that "more" is remains to be seen, but within it lies the greatest danger ---- even more than the dangers of radical Islam, IMO ---- that we have ever faced. When he is inaugurated, we'll truly be able to say that "we have met our enemy, and he is us."

Upon looking at the other photos in the same setting, I believe you're right.

Here's a good article for today -Obama and the Politics of Crowds:

America is a different land, for me exceptional in all the ways that matter. In recent days, those vast Obama crowds, though, have recalled for me the politics of charisma that wrecked Arab and Muslim societies. A leader does not have to say much, or be much. The crowd is left to its most powerful possession -- its imagination.

From Elias Canetti again: "But the crowd, as such, disintegrates. It has a presentiment of this and fears it. . . . Only the growth of the crowd prevents those who belong to it from creeping back under their private burdens."

The morning after the election, the disappointment will begin to settle upon the Obama crowd. Defeat -- by now unthinkable to the devotees -- will bring heartbreak. Victory will steadily deliver the sobering verdict that our troubles won't be solved by a leader's magic.

It HAS to be a photoshop job. The angles of everything, the focus is kinda off and not consistent with a camera lens.

Here is one of the latest:

Tim, this is fearmongering. Obama is a man, and he knows it. So does everyone else.

Hello, by the way.

Another one

It's so easy to "fear monger" when the media is complicit.

And now A HALO!!!
