Obama photo op in Iraq was allegedly staged

I preciously posted that the photo op of Obama in Iraq looked strange because too many women and minorities were up front next to Obama. The demographics of this crowd did not match the demographics of the military. This was especially true of the number of female military personnel close to Obama. This suspicion has now been confirmed by the Flopping Aces blog.
Quite a contrast to the silent treatment Marines gave Obama at his Camp LeJeune speech in late February. Just how did Obama manage to fix that little problem?

According to a sergeant in Iraq :

We were pre-screened, asked by officials “Who voted for Obama?”, and then those who raised their hands were shuffled to the front of the receiving line. They even handed out digital cameras and asked them to hold them up. [Via Macsmind.]

As supporting evidence for the digital-cameras part of the story, the sergeant (or Mac, can’t tell which), suggests that the identical cameras can be verified in the AP photos. Looks right:


Most of these soldiers do seem to have the same cameras. That is quite a coincidence.

I wish I were surprised, but I am not. There was no way the average military person would fawn for Obama like we saw in that photo op. If you look at the people who are not in front, they seem somewhat bored.
