Is this a picture of dyslexics for Romney?
Dyslexics Untied for Romney
You’re saying this is what dyslexics customarily read in the usual campaign fodder? Omaba!
Great idea, but I’m dubious. It would be the work of five minutes or less in Photoshop to swap the O and the M on the shirts.

So says Bymotov.
Hey.
At least I’ve got a leather belt.
Elitist!
If it’s ‘shopped, then they went all-in and swapped the two boy’s heads…and did it in multiple photo’s, like this one from Democratic Underground:

More likely bad timing on when the picture was taken, but telling to the point of Freudian, nonetheless.
photoshopping merely revealed the hidden truth
The bandwidth saving wordpress filters distort the image greatly, making it look photoshopped:

The kids are arranged by height. If you swap the M and the O the heights are wrong.
I’m just talking about swapping the letters, not moving the kids.
Anyway, it’s hard to tell which of the first two is taller.
The easy way to find out is to find the correctly spelled version, and see which kid is wearing which letter, but I haven’t been able to do that.
It’s a fake, and an obvious fake at that. In the higher quality version you can clearly see a white O behind the M in the first boy and a white M behind the O in the second. A quick reverse image search finds the original here: http://www.reuters.com/news/pictures/slideshow?articleId=USRTR2X9UL#a=1
And here’s the original of the other one:

You’re such a killjoy! Next you’ll tell us not to call him Willard, like his mama did…
In the original the kid with glasses is wearing the O and the other one the M.
You can’t spell Romney without Money!
thank you
Who’s this Normey?
Look it up, people. Romney took only a symbolic $1 salary to manage and successfully rescue a sinking Olympics. He didn’t have to.
Again, took a symbolic $1 as salary to turnaround and successfully govern Massachusetts. Again, he didn’t have to. He’ll do the same as president, while rescuing this country successfuly from going to the ditch.
