I wonder what will happen now that I've ignored an official warning:
The photograph may not be manipulated in any way...
Let's see, public figure on public property represented in work product produced at public expense...yeah, bite me. I hope the moron who made that dare gets Streisand-Effected silly on this.

Uh-oh. The authorities have been informed and are in-route.
" The photograph may not be manipulated in ay way..."
Oh yeah! Like Senator Feinswine's gonna honor that!
I have noticed that a sure fire way to get something defaced is to warn against defacing it.
Wow!
That's even . . . awesomer!
For my money, everybody should do this. Send it to flag.gov and tell 'em Spartacus sent ya!
Nothing invites ridicule like a stern warning not to ridicule something.
Maybe someone could update the Wikipedia page for "Streisand-Effect" to capture this latest example.
Patience....patience.
Let a thousand flowers bloom. Soon there'll be so many of these photoshops that it'll go into the realm of Honey Badger viral.
(my lips to God's ears.)
Thanks. I borrowed your photo for my own post and (protected by the 1st Amendment) satirical commentary.
The original even looks Photoshopped. Check it out on Flickr. Look at the difference between the depth of field around the top of his right arm, and the very nearby woods behind it. Too crisp.
Anyway, it's obvious why they released this photo now: Same reason that, when Bill Clinton signed the first Scary Black Rifle Ban, he stood up and said something like "I'm not anti-Second Amendment. I recall fondly hunting squirrels with my father in Arkansas as a boy with the family .22...but we need to put in reasonable restrictions to protect children...."
In other words, "When we're done, all you'll be able to have is an old .22 or a $10,000 Benelli double-barreled two-shot break-action shotgun" (like the one Obama has in this photo.)

Wow- potbelly not seen in hawaii, left handed shooter, and NO RECOIL?
You should post this on the flickr account right behind the one wearing pants.
Too damned funny.
"Tell me again..."
Bang
Just wondering... Has anyone seen Bo since August? And is it a coincidence that the death of Bush's dog was announced about the same time that this pic came out?
Pull!
(OK, I'm a little bored.)
On noes, P-Shop went wild.
