On 3 September 2015, the Twitter account @banditqueen_ posted an image purportedly showing President Obama standing next to a mile 69 in Alaska. The accompanying message, The Leader of Our Country, was an attempt to show how Obama's supposed juvenile sense of humor made him unfit to be President: The photograph, however, was a digitally altered fake. The real image, taken near Exit Glacier in Alaska, was posted to the White House Instagram account on 2 September 2015 and showed President Obama posing next to a sign indicating where the boundary of the now much-receded glacier was in 1961 (coincidentally also the year of President Obama's birth): Other variations of this image have also made their way around the Internet, including one which purportedly showed President Obama posing next to a 420 mile marker: The number 420, of course, is associated with smoking marijuana.
