Be sure to read the reader comments for many other found issues.

You can find high-res images of the Situation Room at the link below. I've spent quite a bit of time delving into them today, and I've found many more curious issues than even addressed in the article.

Compare the original photo to the cropped version that the New York Times published.

In the uncropped version, zoom in on Obama's arms...it looks like the right arm was cut/pasted/flipped to the left side, and now the crook in his left arm shows the pant leg of a person that doesn't exist in front of him. And look how HUGE his shoulders are compared to his head.

Notice in the famous photo that was released, the inside collar of his jacket is grey...but in the photo where he is at the table and pointing, the inside of the collar is green and there is a visible Nike swoosh on the jacket.
