In the days of LIFE magazine she would have been air brushed out with analog
air brush juice; not cloned out and no one could thought to have cared.
Now its demon  digital and Photoshop and we are looking a intense untruths
being foisted upon us. People just eat that stuff right up.  I've not read
the whole thing but the graphic impact of Obama with oil rig and water is
very clean to me for a magazine cover. Not having the gal on the right
distorts the meaning? Of course not.
