It's interesting. The full-size poster image in your linked article does appear a lot more different from the photo in terms of textures and for example the newspaper print appearance in the collars. But the poster that I've seen everywhere doesn't include those features at all. Even the colors are there in the flag behind Obama. http://www.supertouchart.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/manniegarciaob.jpg
I'm not that surprised, but it appears that most people writing about this don't understand that "fair use" is a defense. It starts with saying that it is copyright infringement, and then says "but, even though we copied, it's fair use."
