Where is the Hillary Clinton “Upside Down Phone” Doctored Photo?
Ever since Adobe’s introduction of Photoshop, it has been all but expected that the standing President would have one or more photos doctored showing them holding a phone upside-down. The message being that the politician is so used to faking photo ops and so clueless that they didn’t even notice that the phone was upside-down as they posed for the press corps. Ha, ha.
The following photo was sent around relating to both the mortgage crisis and Katrina suggesting the President did little more than pose for photos during those great times of need.
Highlighting his front runner status, Obama already has his own upside down photo.
But where is the upside down photo of Hillary Clinton? Is her staff so clueless or in disarray that they can’t take the 60 minutes it takes to work up a quick fake and slip it onto the Internet?
There is perhaps no greater example of Hillary’s lack of technological savvy that despite having raised multiple tens of millions of dollars her campaign couldn’t find one teenager with a Mac to whip something up to match the Obama photo above. It is amazing how stuck in the past her campaign is, raise money, buy TV spots, raise money, buy more TV spots. No wonder Obama is the front runner.

Got to hand it to the photoshopper of the W picture. The framed picture on the credenza is Tony Blair.

Clinton has taken Kentucky and Obama is right there in Oregon.
The Democratic race for nomination is still very much alive – and most likely to be decided by superdelegates – as CNN points out clearly
http://edition.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/05/20/primary.wrap/index.html
If you’re tired of waiting around for those super delegates to make a decision already, go to LobbyDelegates.com and push them to support Clinton or Obama
If you haven’t done so yet, please write a message to each of your state’s superdelegates at http://www.lobbydelegates.com
Obama Supporters:
Sending a note to current Obama supporters lets them know it’s appreciated, sending a note to current Clinton supporters can hopefully sway them to change their vote to Obama, and sending a note to the uncommitted folks will hopefully sway them to vote for Obama. It’s that easy…
Clinton Supporters too …. !
It takes a moment, but what’s a few minutes now worth to get Clinton in office?! Those are really worth !
