				well if he met the president he prolly got a letter from him or some invitation,   it's odd that he would not remember ANYTHING because normally its a big * thing and there are many preparations to meeting hte president _________________ http://i337m1k3.deviantart.com for my ART Profile.  |

				Hey guys,
 
 
That's me on the right.  I sent the pic to eliteweiner.  I wasn't drunk off my * and I remember the whole night perfectly.  It was a once in a lifetime opportunity and I had a blast!  
 
 
I think they shopped another pic of Dubya in my pic.  That rope in the background may look like my little brother's arm, but I don't think it is.  I think he's standing at parade rest.
 
 
The people that took the pic are charging an arm and a leg for these photos.  If it is chopped, I can't believe the unprofessional job they did with it.
 
 
I just wanted to ask some experts their opinion.  No alcohol was consumed during this momentous occasion, by the way.       eliteweiner just has a way with his posts.     
 
 
Thanks for any help!  |

				Well in the original picture... His left arm would have to be SUPER long to get an angle like that on the presidents shoulder. Also wearing a jacket like that and having your arm in that position would mess with the shoulder of the jacket. It seems like it would be a very uncomfortable position to assume in any instance with that jacket on. The parade rest thing sounds more feasable. His body is also angled outward away from the president. I would never put my arm around somebody and lean away from them. And maybe this is just a matter of character difference, but I wouldn't put my arm on the president or any person for that matter if I had only seen them for the first time in my life that night... So you're asking if the original was photoshopped? _________________ Best Regards,

				Yes, I 'm thinking the photographers shopped in another Dubya.
 
 
Maybe he blinked his eyes or something, but you'd think these guys would do a better job than this.
 
 
This is their address:

This pic was taken on July 21, The President's Dinner.  It seems as if all their pics of people in the crowd are all accounted for, but I couldn't find one pic of someone posing with the President.  I guess those aren't as openly displayed as the rest of the pics.  |

				Well, the verdict's in.  That is indeed my little brother's hand on Dubya's shoulder.
 
 
His freakin' knuckles must drag the ground when he's walking!  Thanks anyway, weiner.  The shop pic is first-rate.     |
