Time's TwoBamas

Now this post features a side-by-side and some apparent airbrushing (or the opposite.) We are very thematic today.

And have a wonderful long weekend, filled with lobsters and dreams of your favorite candidate. We'll be back on Tuesday.

"airbrushing"...are you serious?!

Same thing as the O.J. Simpson cover years ago. Right?

It probably has to that Obama is the presumptive nominee, and because they will be running looser shot of him at the convention in the next issue, they wanted a close up of him for this issue. If Time has already run photo Obama on a white background, they probably wanted a more different looking cover the second time around

To clarify what I meant in my earlier comment...it is not 1986 and it is unlikely that these images were "airbrushed" as noted in the article.
