Doctored pics?

Because this article doesn't describe a back-door exit at all.

Obama's meeting with Dalai Lama hews to protocol -- though not in China's eyes - latimes.com

After the hourlong meeting, the Tibetan spiritual leader emerged from the White House, smiling and playfully tossing a handful of snow at reporters before heading to a meeting with Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton.

He actually always planned on meeting with the Dalai Lama.

After Obama's trip to China last fall, some liberals and human rights advocates criticized his decision to delay a meeting with the Dalai Lama until after sitting down with Chinese leader Hu Jintao. They feared Obama was going too far to avoid offending the Chinese.

But aides to Obama said they had talked over the decision with the Dalai Lama in advance of the China trip and that the spiritual leader agreed with the rationale for meeting first with Hu.

It's the liberal "in the tank for hussein obama" LA Times. You don't think they would report anything negative about their messiah, do you?

They have a picture of him leaving. Somehow, there are no trashbags in sight. So, I have provided you with a link to give the "liberal" version of the Dalai Lama's departure some degree of credibility. Do you have a link to the origin of your trashbag picture?

After the meeting the Dalai Lama met with reporters. Every news agency is reporting that, because he talked to the reporters, and he was very happy. Is the Daily Mail saying that he came out the White House Portico, visited with the reporters, then went back in and used the back door? Why???

Do you honestly think an MSM is going to doctor a photo and put on their website ?

The only US MSM I would think would print this picture is FOX but none of the Dems believe Fox and would say it's doctored as well.

No, The Daily Mail is not like the trash papers you see at the checkout counters of the supermarket. It's just not American and not subject to the same US influences.

And why does it matter if he's coming or going..no person of importance should ever go through the door where the garbage is thrown out..no one who is there to visit the President.

It's actually refreshing to be able to read both sides of a story from foreign sites. US news is so one sided it's not funny. And it can be on the same topic no less.

The Daily Mail is a "little" trashy. Kind of like the New York Post, except that British laws give them a little more leeway to doctor photos and be offensive. And my entire point is that that's the only paper that's printed that picture. No person of importance should ever go through a door where garbage is thrown out. So you're telling me Fox News, or heck, the Detroit Free Press hasn't picked up on this photo? Unless it's doctored. It just has my suspicions raised, that's all.
