so how does the bobblehead have a shadow around his back as if he was right against the wall?

a little odd how there looks to be a "drop shadow" on the bobble-head and the lighting is weird. Is this in the right contest because it looks photoshopped?

LOL!!! Son... I'd compare my annual salary to yours ANY day of the week. But, taxes are necessary. All these roads and infrastructure, and education, and military, and social security etc aren't free.

You can see them if you look at them... Maybe it is a little visible, but I think this is on topic enough.

even though they are blurred, I can still see other letters "TAB KEY"

appears on topic to me as well, I can only clearly see one letter, the rest are either symbols or numbers. nicely done, good job of isolating the "p"

blown highlights.......... flash too harsh.....more of a 'snap' than a photo, imo!

Yeah, it's logical that everything that is blurred is not important in this kind of thing. And P is the only letter, yes.

Sorry, I have to agree with debdyutsarker.

I think the picture contains more than 1 letter (like P, @ etc.) which is not allowed.

Generally, the "Tea Party" is a faction of disaffected Republican Party members, mainly from the "neo-con" end of the spectrum. They advocate less government and lower taxes. However, they do not define what they mean by this. Bush instituted some "smaller government" ideas. For example, he gutted the funding for the SEC, making it almost non-existent. This led to few regulations and virtually no enforcement of Wall Street. That worked out well, didn't it? They deregulated the airlines and now they charge for everything in sight. They deregulated cable and the prices skyrocketed. BUT... it WAS less governement so I guess that makes them happy. Lower taxes?We (the US) already pays incredibly low taxes compared to most industrialized nations. Do they want less infrastructure repair (desperately needed), a smaller military, less education (we're already behind most other countries - India has more students in "honors" courses than we have total students)? Bush came into office and had been left a budget surplus by Clinton. After his first term Bush had a deficit of about $5 trillion dollars. After his second term it was almost twice that. I didn't see the Tea Partiers screaming about deficits then. It's only now, after the first Black president adds ONE trillion more bringing health care into the 21st century - and even that was deluted to make the insurance industry happy, that they get all upset. Bottom line - any group that idolizes Sarah Palin isn't going to have too much mainstream credibility.

you might want to look at cropping the low right bottom from the shot, there is a difference in the background there.
