DKos: Hillary's Site Darkens Up Obama Making Him 33% Blacker, 25% More Likely To Sell Crack To Your Daughter

Good NiGht, Hilary.

Compare: The screen-grab as it originally appeared to the same pic, sorta, as it appears on Hillary's website.

I don't know if this is going to work, Hills. No matter how much you darken him up, he still basically looks like C. Thomas Howell in Soul Man, and he was such a nice boy.

Thanks to Slublog the Magnificent, who says of this post: "It's like liberal Rathergate over there."

The only caution is that, you know, pics can change as you save them in different formats.

That said, there is a lot of darkening going on here. A lot of graying, too, as the healthier glow of his skin is replaced with gray. And: Yes, the "squishing" of his face to give him the flatter, broader sort of nose one usually associates with black people. Now that, together with the darkening, starts to look deliberate.

Was it intentional? I think photoshop experts are going to have to study these pics to find out if there's a real, provable deliberate manipulation of color or if it's all just a happy accident for Hillary.
