Tsk, Tsk Egyptian paper doctors photo of Mubarak and Obama

For what it's worth, the "before" is not the same photo as the "after".

Mubarak himself is the same image, mirrored. The base photos appear to have been taken by the same photographer (same angle, at least), probably within seconds of each other. Why their ties' colors were changed is a mystery.
