		<description>Much ado about the &quot;light and dark Obama&quot;.  It&#039;s not that complicated.  

In under 5 minutes, I made this: http://screencast.com/t/uDifxMIPN

Darkening the light one and lightening the dark one, by the simple adjustment of saturation and lightness in an antique copy of Photoshop.

Yes.  I know it&#039;s video, but any junk consumer program will have the same adjustments, and, for that matter, an analog TBC has the exact same adjustments.  You don&#039;t even need a computer to do this tweak.

Was it done deliberately?  I don&#039;t know.

But it was done, simply, and probably in a matter of seconds.</description>

		<description>A quick examination of the two images using &quot;the Gimp&quot; (Linux&#039;s version of Photoshop) reveals three things:
a) The &quot;original&quot; image has an oversaturated red channel -- color sampling the white collar reveals this.  The &quot;blackified&quot; image has a normalized red channel -- the collar has identical RGB components.
b) In the &quot;blackified&quot; image, the intensity map has been normalized to maximize grey scale visibility to humans.  In addition, the darkest and lightest pixels have been &quot;chopped&quot; out, and the midrange stretched over the entire intensity range.  It looks like the lightest and darkest 5% of the pixels were removed from the &quot;original&quot; to make the &quot;blackified&quot;
c) In the &quot;blackified&quot; image, the median and average intensity is at about 95/255, while in the &quot;original&quot; image, these intensities are at about 120/255. In other words, the image has has brightness reduced by about (120-95)/120, or about 20%.

You combine all these things, which look like really good things to do when cleaning video, and you get the rather ghastly results we see here.

It also seems that sharpening has been done (either that, or the &quot;original&quot; picture didn&#039;t come off of an HD TV.

This stuff all looks like mistakes a tyro videographer would do if they didn&#039;t know about the differences in color response between a computer LCD screen and an NTSC television signal.  I know when I was making marching band videos I always had to view the result on a CRT TV with the controls set neutral before declaring a rendering as gold.</description>

		<description>That&#039;s really something Rush needs to stamp out, immediately and throughly.  A white girl and her white mother saying on nationally syndicated radio that black Obama looks like a monkey.  Comparing Bush to a monkey is just as asinine, but you&#039;ve got to remember that America has a very ethnically hostile past toward blacks that still hasn&#039;t totally dissipated.  Insults of certain types can be levied toward whites that won&#039;t hurt as much, as if similar such insults are levied at blacks, hispanics, asians, etc., due to the past of occasionally violent repression in this country and the nation&#039;s power structure.  Rush Limbaugh was very professional, and very astute, and very fast, in getting an apology up and out, along with a rebuke of the caller (who may, or may not, have actually put any thought into what she was saying).  Anybody (i.e.:  Media Matters) that accuses Rush of wrongdoing in this should be &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;excoriated &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;as a liar most blatant.</description>

		<description>I&#039;m not sure Rush was actually apologizing.  He sounded like he was being &quot;mock&quot; serious, as he does sometimes when trying to prove a point.  I also think it&#039;s entirely plausible that Rush didn&#039;t know about Curious George since he has never had his own children and seems to have been little interested in comics and cartoons growing up.  My husband was the same way and our children&#039;s interest in comics and animated movies just mystifies him.  It is surprising to me the references my husband misses because he just never picked up a comic book or watched cartoons as a child.

I can absolutely see how the little girl saw a similarity with Curious George - it&#039;s the ears.  There have been many monkey caricatures of Bush emphasizing his ears, too.</description>

		<description>I only listened to the &quot;Curious George&quot; comment, not the apology... but I have to ask, just so I&#039;m clear on the rules.  It&#039;s okay to compare Bush to (or outright call him) a chimp, photoshop him as a chimp, etc. etc. but not Obama?  Is it a race thing?  A party thing?  I think it&#039;s more of a totally predictable bullsh** double standard thing.  And what&#039;s really stupid is that she didn&#039;t say &quot;he looks like a monkey&quot;, she said he looks like &quot;Curious George&quot;.  I&#039;d rather look like Curious George than like a horse (John Kerry) or like the Kool Aid guy (Ted Kennedy, who is not only equally round and red, but usually full of as much liquid).</description>

		<description>Well the secret is out I suppose. That half Irish lad, Barry O&#039;Bama is black Irish ya see. But just because his banshee of a bride seems a tad of a fishwife, doesn&#039;t mean you should throw out the baby with the bath water! Sures Barry would sooner kiss the Blarney stone rather than crush an adulteress&#039;s head with it I&#039;m sure!</description>

		<description>My advice? Whatever you do at HotAir, don&#039;t ever mention &quot;the markdown monkey&quot;.

My collie says:
&lt;blockquote&gt;That may the singular occasion in the history of this site where you actually influenced HA posting policies.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

The misunderstanding was truly unfortunate, and I felt bad about it. It is noteworthy, however, that the &quot;markdown monkey&quot; disappeared at HA and has never been seen again.</description>

		<description>He and his evil wife are marketing him as black, so what&#039;s the problem?

He&#039;s half black, so would this picture, if doctored, really be insulting?</description>

		<description>I never thought about it before but Obama &lt;em&gt;does&lt;/em&gt; look like curious George. 

That&#039;s what I like about kids. They always call it like they see it.. before they are trained not to.</description>

		<description>Clinton not only made Obama look blacker she made his more or less &quot;white nose&quot; look like a &quot;black nose&quot;.

The Clinton&#039;s can not be doing all this by accident as they have done too much that is similar and have developed very much of a pattern.

Hillary for honorary wizard of the KKK!</description>

		<description>I had this exact same argument when Shaq was up against Yao during some important game a few years ago (I barely remember).

Before the game they showed a Godzilla vs. King Kong clip with Shaq as King Kong. Everyone claimed it was racist. I thought it was stupid but not racist.

We are way too sensitive about racial issues.</description>
