Bush flipping the bird carrying a flag - is this image for real?

[unless]

'cause if it is, I'm blowing it up and magnet-sticking it on all three sides of my red minivan on some road trips. Indiana and Ohio beware. :)



Any ideas for a caption?

2. Actions and inaction speak louder than words

3. Looks like the flag is pasted in

If it was made of fabric, it wouldn't hang like that when held under the arm. Seems too stiff, almost like a cardboard cutout of a flag.

Still, it's a perfect image. I say distibute freely.

4. Yeah, the tassels give it away...

they would be hanging straight down. Plus, the shadow on the flag is a tad too Photoshoppy.

7. you're probably right, but have you ever heard of this thing called:

wind?

6. What an example of true NO class!

He's the freaking President , For God's Sake. You dont flip a bird no matter what the reason or no matter who is the recipient of the gesture.
We have to send him to a class in remedial humanity before we send him to that place where he truly desserve to be...
Christ, what a jackass he is.

8. Something about it looks a bit off

[Dem Agog]

9. Note how the joint of the bird he's flipping...

Is suddenly lighter than the rest of his finger. And it's a fraction too long for his hand-size.

Fake, but in his head he's flipping people off and flags and everything else, every moment.

10. Still a good pic though just make sure to tell your friends it's fake

11. I think the real image had him carrying Barnie

But I do believe the finger is original.

12. it's photoshopped. The finger is real, the flag is not. n/t

[JohnnyRingo]

13. I think the original had his dog under his arm

14. It came from this blog and does look "symbolic"

but not real.

Here is the blog it came from:
http://bkmarcus.com/blog/

Here isa a sample from that blog:

"Anarcho-capitalism is a philosophy based on the idea of individual sovereignty (or "self-ownership"), an unlimited right to private property, and a prohibition against initiatory coercion and fraud, with contracts between sovereign individuals being the basis of law. From this is derived a rejection of the state (an entity claiming a territorial monopoly on the use of force) and the embrace of absolute laissez-faire capitalism. "

and

"Anarcho-capitalists would protect individual liberty and property by replacing a government monopoly that is involuntarily funded through taxation, with private and competing businesses. The philosophy embraces stateless capitalism as one of its foundational principles. The first well-known version of anarcho-capitalism to identify itself with this term was developed by Austrian School economists and libertarians.."
