Someone took a PHOTO of Obama's Wad.

So I post this with the full expectation that this thread will likely solicit more of the same old my guy/your guy, my side/your side stuff. But that isn't the purpose of this thread.

I just really have a few simple questions...

But first the photos:





So my first question is am I the only person who finds it odd that POTUS even uses this much cash? I know I don't. Most people of means are pretty cashless.

But here is what I REALLY want to know. Look at the first photo and then compare to the second one.

Did Obama pose for this second shot????

How do you get THAT camera angle and not have him pose for it???

If so, any theories why?

Something seems very odd to me here...

I doubt he posed for it. He’s just pulling cash out of his wallet…..who cares?

I'm not being confrontational but all I see is a $20 and a small wad of cash; what's the conspiracy here?

Wow the pictures are different huh....
One has a money clip too....
I have no theory as to why another pic would be posed....

The whole shot is staged. The guy next to him taking his debit card out while obama whips out a stack of dirty money while he's laughing hysterically? And isn't our own gov. That stated cash purchases are to be looked at with suspicion?

Ha Ha! When I saw the thread title I thought "I better check this before it get's 404'd!"

On Topic, I don't think it has any meaning for us to read into. Probably just some random photos.

Any idea what denomination those notes are?

Look at the first photo. See who is there.

Now look at the second photo and try to imagine where you would need to be to have a photo shot at that angle.

Does it now make sense to you?

It appears to be the same instant of time in both photos to me. In the second picture you can see his forearm hovering over the plastic bags and the orientation of background objects seem similar in both images to me.

It appears as if a second camera man was standing to the left out of farm in the first photo.

Now to talk about the prospect of this being staged, if it is I know not for what purpose, except perhaps to make it seem like he is more in touch with the common folk?

I do think I see what you are getting at, it seems a little bit to revealing

Exactly.

Why?

The money clip is in both pictures (one side looks different than the other).

I have no theory why he'd pose for this either. What point would he be making.

WHOA!!!!! I just saw the $5 in the second pick......maybe this IS a conspiracy??

You clearly have a reading comprehension problem.

I haven't made a single anti-Obama statement in this thread. What I am asking is about the photos and how they are likely staged.

My question is why and why in this manner?

You don't have to read any of it or participate in any manner if that is what you prefer.

I'm with you, who cares? In fact, that's not even that big of a wad if it's 20's or less. You can see much bigger wads at any casino. My question is, why not use a check card? I never carry cash these days.

Well, I see a 5 in there (second photo). If he's like me (organized to a fault) then I have 20s first, then 10s, 5s and then 1s are last. So it's possible he doesn't have any 1s...

I call that "zooming in".

What do you call it?

He probably doesn't need to worry about getting robbed. Not with all the secret service agents with him.

If the photo is staged here is my analysis. The gentleman next to him pulls out a debit/most likely credit card, to pay for the purchases.. Perhaps symbolism of the mess the country is in, and Obama paying in cash, represents fiscal responsibility.

If it’s a staged picture I guess there is a certain implication.

M'kay.

For a bunch of members of a conspiracy website, some of you are pretty soft.

Maybe there is nothing here. But I'll wait for more reasoned theories as to what purpose these shots might serve.

I don't think they are randomly done. And because of that, I'd like to consider what objective was sought.
