Factcheck.org: Did Clinton Darken Obama's Skin?
The first thing to note is that the version of the Clinton ad that appears on YouTube, which prompted comments on the blogs, is darker overall than other copies of the ad that appear elsewhere.
YouTube Version Is Unusually Dark
Here's one of the frames from the YouTube version:
Here's nearly the same frame as posted on Clinton's Web site, which to our eye is noticeably lighter.
And here's a high-quality version recorded by the Campaign Media Analysis Group, a unit of TNS Media Intelligence, as it appeared at 5:27 p.m. March 3 on station KCEN in Waco, Texas:
The CMAG version is lighter still. We've made no color corrections nor otherwise manipulated these images. We simply took freeze frames directly from each video in its original format.
Ad Versus Debate
All of that said, when we compared the video of Obama in the Clinton ad (any of the versions above) with the video of the debate as it appears on YouTube, there are pronounced differences in color.

Comment: Hillary Clinton needs to begin to prepare her exit from the race... Several sources in her own camp admit that she has virtually no chance of winning the nomination except if she succeeds in finding James Hoffa's body and moving it in Obama's flower garden to put the blame on him.
Since there is little chance for the body to be found, she makes all these negative assertions. The goal seems to be the 2012 election. By putting enough doubts on Obama, Hillary is hoping that he will lose to McCain and that she or Chelsea (who is also an experienced leader after her journey at the White House mansion) will be able to run in 2012. The Clintons might then be able to capitalize again with the rental of the Lincoln Bedroom to big lobbyists.
Whatever happens, since the Judas story with Richardson, we know that Hillary believes in ressurection; she or her husband Bill would be Jesus if I understood correctly the story. So, we can assume that Hillary will not hesitate to play the kamikaze with this election or the next one since she will probably reborn again, as the savior.
Hillary Clinton needs to begin to prepare her exit from the race before she hurts herself or others.

Comment: If you have this much time, why not spend some of it investigating the very real issue of Hezbollah's cyber threat? Do some good for a change and stop the hate coming into our country. Thank you.
