Obama’s hand - Is it real?

I keep seeing gimped/photoshopped images of the US presidential candidates all the time. My favourite one is Obama answering a phone call.

Today’s photograph in BBC News made me wonder if its real or manipulated. Obama’s palm seems way too big. Maybe someone at BBC wanted to try out her hand at photo editing. Or maybe he just has very long fingers.

Okay, you’ve seen the photo. Now get back to work.
