		<description>The 4,096 x 2,731 pixel version of that photo (1.5MB): http://www.flickr.com/photos/whitehouse/4204626110/sizes/o/ (with other sizes selectable).

Pretty cool. :)</description>

No one here needs a red carpet. All we need is references. You don&#039;t have any? That&#039;s ok; no one here desperately needs to believe a word you say. You&#039;re the attention whore in this group.</description>

		<description>Why did he wait so long? You&#039;d think that presidents would be pretty high on the list of important people to be vaccinated first, even above health care workers.

Then again, maybe he wanted to wait until everybody could get the vaccine, so as not to appear &quot;elitist&quot; or whatever. In this case, I think it&#039;s ok for arguably the most important person in the world to get vaccinated before others!</description>

		<description>The reason the photo looks a bit odd is that Obama&#039;s neck looks very short, but that&#039;s because he has his shoulders raised in the split second the photo was taken.

JJB is a trolling lier.

Here&#039;s the original size of the photo if anyone wants to really analyse it.

		<description>JJB, I tried for an hour to find your alleged &quot;original&quot;  I gave up.  I don&#039;t think it exists.

1)  There is absolutely no reason for the White House to fake the photo.
2) There is nothing about that photo that shouts out fake.
3) It&#039;s easy to make a claim and tell us to find the evidence for ourselves.

To the best of my knowledge that photo is authentic, taken in the White House clinic, of the actual President of the United States, Barrack Obama, getting the H1N1 vaccination by a nurse on the White House medical staff.

Your saying otherwise is all baloney unless you can pony up.  Give us the advantage of your tubular guruness and let us see the evidence you claim exists.  I call your bluff.  It does not exist.

		<description>Also, what does his arm color have to do with the color of the skin on his face.

YOU do know that its normal to have darker skin on the FACE due to it being EXPOSED to sunlight. this is a man who wears SUITS with long sleeves and slacks, on a daily basis.

I used to go surfing everyday during my college years. I turned so brown that I was 6 shades darker than the skin on my body.

Currently my arms are darker than the skin on my shoulders (about 3 shades darker)</description>

		<description>Searching on Obama for images turn up over 125,000,000 in Google Image search. 
It would help for you to be more specific

Of course, its not a stock photo and the whole thing was video tape. Aired on this morning news. This is a photo supplement the actual video of the news story.</description>

		<description>Phil - there is a reason I did not - I told you to go find it! Geesh, it took me all of 5 minutes. I was curious if you had the courage to check for yourself. By the way - the skin of the arm matches the skin of the real face... that also will be clue.

Phil - I&#039;m sorry - did you expect me to treat you with &quot;Red Carpet&quot;? Really?</description>

		<description>Vaccinations are already over in Quebec. My then 10 months old kid got his shot, my wife did as soon as she learned she was pregnant and I got it when it was my turn two weeks ago. Yay!

US is stupid to choose not to use adjuvants. It is proven that adjuvants not only provoke a better immune response but also helps prevent infections by variations in the virus strain and not only this particular H1N1 strain.</description>

I think part of the issue may be because the U.S. chose not to use adjuvants, meaning the supply won&#039;t go nearly as far as it could have.</description>

		<description>I&#039;m surprised how delayed the vaccine is for you guys compared to here in Canada. We have some clinics here in Calgary closing down because there is almost no demand for them (because all the people who want to get the vax have already had it).</description>

		<description>Wish we could get that stuff in our area.  H1N1 is still only available here for high risk people (I&#039;m not) - though they are providing vaccinations free now for high-risk uninsured who can&#039;t afford it.  We also have no seasonal flu vaccine and are &quot;unlikely&quot; to get any.   But I will keep looking - otherwise this will be the first year in many that I have not gotten the shot.  There seems to be a real problem in the distribution system - we have whole cities where people could get it but won&#039;t, and cities where people want it and can&#039;t get it.</description>

		<description>My girls and I got our H1N1 shots late October when they first became available in Alberta though we did have to wait in line for 4 hours which isn&#039;t too much fun with a toddler.  With all the confusion and poor rollout planning by our government we seemed to have missed all the autism causing shots.</description>
