What is the story behind the Obama/Bush morphed photos?

[Boilers]

1. Is there a story about the origin of this photo? Who made it and why?
2. Why are some members here choosing this for avatar or similar? What are you trying to say with it?

Meet the new boss. Same as the old boss.

Is it as simple as that?
Or, do most people that display that , are they Ron Paul supporters? Or what?

I think it means All politicians are the same. SCUM.


Pretty much what Annie said!

As far as "who did it first", I think Wired Magazine. I'll look around a little and see. It had something to do with the Freedom of Information Act, I think...

I don't know but the longer you stare at it, the scarier it gets.

Here's a quote from a CBS story:

So far, the administration has thrice sustained the Bush administration’s claim of the State Secrets Privilege in urging civil suits against Bush administrational officials to be quashed. It has refused several entreaties from judges to re-argue points of law first used by the Bush administration. It has used a signing statement to affirm the right of the federal government to fire whistleblowers. It has treated as secret a draft version of an Internet Protocol treaty, leading Wired magazine to morph Obama’s photograph into Bush’s.

Here's the one from Wired.

Double tap.

I think the new boss is much worse than the old boss by far.
