If you havent seen this, it proves it is not a forgery. Thanks to @MrShekelstein for posting it here
Adjusting certain values and color channels(among other tools) in photoshop you can usually spot artifacts that would reveal forgery. It's extremely difficult to edit a photo where the added layers will change in the same exact way as the rest of the image.
If this image was fake you'd likely see some strange edges or discoloring that would really stand out in the edited areas. Which in this case would most likely be the faces in the photo.
Since these images have the same effect evenly distributed across the entire photo, with no weird portions standing out in anyway, it's very likely the image is real. Though it's hard to know what kind of image faking technology exists. This is a very simple and common way of spotting photoshopped images.
Great explanation by @crashing_this_thread
Article worth reading, focus on sources, not opinions.
Archive of the instagram post, proving it is real.

I think it is now safe to assume the image is not fake/photoshop.
NOTE
I would first like to apologize for x-posting. I know there are some users who browse only this subverse so just in case they dont miss it, I will post here too. I also want to apologize to users who I double-pinged right now, I do not want to take credit away from you.
This is my response to the previous posts by a certain user of questionable integrity who claims this is photoshop.

I did my utmost to match the Obama as moloch and the Obama smiling images, and then I turned it into a gif. Someone else who wants to do the same, please feel free as this is just one person's attempt / interpretation.

A little bit of history about myself: I have over 15 years of photo-editing experience, and with that it's meant a lot of head-swapping for family photos, editing out zits and snot off baby faces, and to my great delight a lot of fandom edits that people think are real. I'm not saying I'm good, just that I know the area of expertise about as well as anyone else in the field.
It is therefore my opinion that the Moloch!Obama and Smiling!Obama images are two different pictures. Even if I edited out some of his smile lines, there are things that would not match up even if I tried:
Moloch!Obama and Smiling!Obama have their heads pointed at ever so slightly different directions.
Moloch!Obama does not have the same shaped or happy-looking eyes as Smiling!Obama.
You can see more of the "white" of Moloch!Obama's left eye than you can of Smiling!Obama.
Smiling!Obama has distinct bags under his eyes from the fact he is smiling.
Because Moloch!Obama and Smiling!Obama have their head at different angles, their ears are set completely different from one another.
Now, could it be feasible that someone photoshopped a DIFFERENT picture of Obama into this Moloch!Obama image? I say yes. But it is my professional opinion that THESE TWO IMAGES that a certain angry muppet keeps saying are the same... are in fact two completely different images.
The similarities between Obama in general and Moloch!Obama are uncanny. It's either him, or a fucking good photoshop (but it was NOT done using Sir Ian's proclaimed "proof" image).

Very good analysis excellent work. I don't think it's Obama because it would be super stupid for him to go to a parade or a rally in that costume and I don't see any Secret Service agents near him nor do I think they would let him do this. Only a video of the parade or rally will work to prove or disprove the photo one way or the other surely there are videos if it was a protest rally against Trump in Palm Springs or a gay pride parade in Chicago before Obama became a US Senator meaning before 2004 when he was just a state senator.
