In May 2016, a photograph purportedly showing President Barack Obama posing with a Bernie 2016 sign (in an apparent endorsement) started circulating on the internet. However, while the above-displayed image featured a real photograph of President Obama, the verbiage on the sign is fake. The real image was posted to the White House Instagram account in September 2015, and shows President Obama near Alaska's Exit Glacier: President Obama has not endorsed Bernie Sanders or Hillary Clinton as of May 2016, and won't campaign for anybody until after the primaries: This isn't the first time that the above-displayed photograph has been digitally altered. In September 2015, internet tricksters altered the sign to read 69 and spread the image on social media to insinuate that President Obama had a juvenile sense of humor.
