Wow, I didn't know there were so many "out there." I've been told that there is nothing accidental about the media frames around the candidates, however. They are more like set stages. And I agree with you that these are NOT his campaign oeuvre.
  Obama's teleprompters are positioned far right and far left of the podium which accounts for his wagging back and forth delivery, never even pausing stage center, where the camera's are positioned--obviously this was a detail his handlers hadn't thought of. A HRC advance person pointed these devices out to me at the call-center Hqrts. on TV when a camera panned wide through the audience.

  I went online and googled obama jesus t shirt - found quite a few different designs in this vein. Every one was anti-obama - this particular one was from Michelle Malkin's website. 
  I wager that the tshirt wearer was NOT for Obama. Bet the guy raising the signs was trying to take attention from the lady with the jesus t shirt, though.

  It was a picture of the face of Jesus almost as big as the T-shirt itself, with Obama printed in bold letters across the top. I was flabbergasted when I saw it. I watched the segment repeatedly, with sound and without. It was obviously deliberately done as a subliminal message. That subliminal kind of crowd influence is a cornerstone of the Obama campaign--it also happened in the caucuses and at the State Convention, when a "cheering section" had been cued up to raise a rousting cheer when one of "theirs" was mentioned in a line up of those who ran for delegate and committee seats. It was so noticable that I asked a delegate seated next to me with HRC buttons on why she voted for the Obama delegate. She said, "He seemed the most popular." 
  Amen.
