Palms are always going to be whiter than other parts of the body. With the top of the hands it's harder to tell how light they are.

If it was a tan job, at least it was better than Kerry's, though I wouldn't advise following this strategy if Romney ever appears on BET.

...at least Michael Jackson came "out" in the end.
"You could argue that his ever more pallid complexion made him the pithiest shorthand for pop’s history: in splendid contrast to Little Richard and Pat Boone, he was the first black singer to become his own lucrative white cover version." -- Mark Steyn

And then, the narrator said breathlessly, Goldilocks saw Barack Obama, and said, “He’s just right.”

DU has been in a full blown daytime drama over this.

They described it as a clueless Al Jolsonish attempt to hispander.

They've posted pics from earlier in the day to compare and contrast, close-ups, different angles...they're obsessing.

It looks like he stayed a little too long in a tanning bed (there is a distinct untanned area that a hat wouldn't explain.) It's the timing that seems to be an unfortunate coincidence.

Forget tanning beds; the geniuses over at DU spend way too much time with their heads in toaster ovens.

why don’t ya’ll listen to the video - and pass that along instead of even repeating this ‘face color’ deflecting.

Watching the video and the crowds reaction - no wonder the media is pushing this face color story - and EVERYONE who discusses it, pro or con - keeps the story going, aiding and abetting

so how about passing along the actual link to the video?

Exactly. People get tanned when they spend a lot of time outside in the sun. Anyone with a little bit of common sense knows that

Rodriguez says that his makeup of choice for the evening was MAC NW30, a medium-range loose powder that he applies to "cut the glare" of stage lights.

I looked on the U.S. M.A.C. Cosmetics Web site, and could not find any loose powder in this shade.

They don't have a lot of loose powders, but this one was the item that came in several shades: Select Sheer Loose Powder.

http://www.maccosmetics.com/product/shaded/159/474/Products/Face/Powder/Select-SheerLoose/index.tmpl

Shades listed: NC5, NC15, NC20, NC30, NC40, NC45.

I did not see "NW30" loose powder listed on the U.S. or Canadian Web sites of this company.

However, the shade "NW30" IS available in the Studio Fix powder + foundation format.

Any makeup experts out there care to comment?

I wonder if Obama's image was lightened in this picture?

[Article] The accusation was reported on by The Huffington Post, Gawker and Wonkette, among others, receiving thousands of comments on the sites combined.

Gawker has always been a good site for droolers and screamers, but I had thought Wonkette was halfway intelligent.

All I can really add to this discussion is that Fox has THE BEST makeup people in the business. Esp. lipstick, they’ve got that down.

If I ever hit the lottery I’m going to hire the fox makeup people for my daughter’s wedding.

They are all three a site for droolers and screamers. I remember when Wonkette once claimed that Jenna Bush was pregnant and that she has to get married. Which of course wasn’t true

Probably. By genetic inheritance he's at least "quadroon" by background, allowing his babydaddy a 50/50 Arab Semitic Caucasian/East African mix, with East Africans being somewhere between 20% and 50% Semitic Caucasian background themselves, thanks to ancient migrations into East Africa out of the Arabian Peninsula during the great desertification of Arabia Felix some 4500-6000 years ago, so that all Somalis, Ethiopians, Masai, and other East African peoples would be better described as "mulattoes" than full-blooded black African.

IF Obama's African starting point was "mulatto", then he is "quadroon" (cuarteron, quartaron); but if Barack Sr. the Deflowerer Babydaddy was himself already "quadroon" by virtue of his multi-culti slavemongering background, then therefore Barry Soetoro is "octoroon" (quinteron, ochavado, or albino in Spanish).

The joker in the deck is that West African black people, the "true Negroes" of lore, are themselves about 20-25% Caucasian by east-to-west migration of the Semitic Caucasian strain since antiquity, and cross-desert migration of other Caucasian peoples such as the Garamantes, who left Libya in Trajan's time under pressure from the related Berbers, and settled around Koromantse (yes, the names are related centuries later; by admixture, they now appear to be African Negroes despite retaining many of their pre-migration cultural and religious beliefs).

Thus modern West Africans would be correctly called in Spanish negro fino, i.e. 1/4 white; but in the reckoning of the Spanish, Portuguese, and everyone else, this was the starting point for figuring "blackness" in the elaborate Iberian classification scheme, which was imported into English and confirmed by statute in colonial times.

In other words, it's all screwed up unless/until someone socks the old DNA test to one's background.

Hmmm, well, considering what it would take to breach the walls of Carlyle Group's confidentiality, one can only imagine the Great Wall of privacy that surrounds the Bush girls. They could have positively ghastly histories and we'd never know; but if they lived upright lives in a fishbowl, people like Wonkette and the slithery, facilely flexuous Arianna Beardington-Puffington (remember when she was conservative?) would never get anywhere retailing their stuff.

“a bunch of Lefty bloggers accused Governor Romney of “darkening his skin” in order to curry favor with Latino voters.”

I bet Obama darkens his skin! He sure as heck hates the white part. There is no bigger panderer. Or liar. The left has really sunk to it’s lowest with this Romney bashing. It’s more contrived than what they put Palin through. And Romney hasn’t even dragged a pregnant, unwed daughter on stage.
