A friend who is occasionally reliable sent me this photo claiming it shows how clueless the Obamas are -- saluting with their left hands. My first thought was that someone had reversed it, but I see wedding bands on their fingers which suggests otherwise. Is it a hoax? Does anyone know for sure?

I think it is mirrored. why? Just google her hair do,s and you will see the part is always on her left side not the right side as shown above.

I only made an observation giving my opinion based on a quick search of her hair dos. I am not a worshipper or supporter of these two but truth is important no matter if the subjects of the debate are despicable.

I am inclined to agree. Another clue might be the flag on his lapel. I wonder if it is always on the same side. People who doctor things to discredit others are a major disappointment.

True her part is on the wrong side as shown in these pictures.

Another this I noticed is the the lapel pic on Obama is on the right side. Lapel pins are normally worn on the left (I think)

A picture like this was probably taken by an official photographer ... not many people would be allowed to get that close.

So, there should be a credit line somewhere in the original publication medium.

It could be a telephoto shot. Who knows.

The Marine's decorations I missed but that is certainly solid proof it was flipped.

Thanks everyone. You have been a great help. I am mailing a link to the Snopes page to my friend. Let's consider this closed. No more comment needed.

Normally, when a person is right handed... they part their hair on the left side.. so they can come it over to the right. Dont think Obama has a part.. if he does, I dont see one. If a person is left handed then they would do just the opposite as the right handed person... Michelle is right handed... so I would think she would part her hair on the left.. just my take on it.. dunno

I've only seen his lapel flag on the left side where people normally wear it... so they must be putting their hand on the wrong side.. much like when Obama never bothered putting his hand any where that one time.. remember that photo..

thumb through all these photos and see his flag pen is on the right... but in looking at getty's photos... it looks like Michelle does indeed part her hair on the left.

It's been debunked before....the marine's ribbons are the giveaway.

I'm no Obama fan but this stuff is rediculous!
