It really gives the illusion that all of the bible belted republicans actually give a shit that he wants to make the country better for the rich AND the poor!

This shot is certainly not photoshopped. Why are we so cynical these days? The caption says it's done with a tilt-shift lens, and it's the only one by Chuck Kennedy. He was obviously hired to set up this exact kind of shot while Pete Souza (the official WH photog) was busy doing his job for history. I happen to think it's quite noteworthy that we have creative minds working for our government willing to capture our history in such a unique and novel way. I applaud this.

Technically this is an Obama Tilt. Not a tilt-shift.

I wonder what the photographer had in mind concept-wise. The 'miniature effect' seems a bit negative or critical in this context.
- don't get confused, it's called selective focusversion3

Pelosi drives me crazy. She's like the obnoxious soccer mom on the sidelines.

I tried to add a LOLCUBE, but it turned out terribly...

Personally I think it's the worst tilt-shift I've ever seen. Works better on objects with a higher vantage point. This, quite honestly, just looks blurry and does not have that "miniature model" feel that most good tilt-shift does.
THIS, however, is excellent.

Tilt-shift was the new HDR in 2008.
- I don't think the White House is trying to follow any kind of photography "trend" here.duckofrubber

lol at people thinking tilt shift is for creating miniatures

lol at people thinking this is anything new

proper use of a tilt shift lens is to remove perspective from tall buildings or wide open spaces that need photographed without suffering from the available vantage point
