A photo of Obama’s “army” originally posted on the campaign’s Tumblr site and run in conjunction with a BuzzFeed story on the Obama campaign reveals a stunning lack of diversity among the president’s Chicago staff.

The Obama campaign’s Chicago headquarters has it all—from Jack Daniels and Ping Pong to bouncy balls and ironic desk mementos.

Yet the “army of twenty-somethings” campaign manager Jim Messina has assembled in the president’s hometown is almost uniformly white, according to photos contained in a detailed BuzzFeed report Monday.

Further examination of the Obama’s campaign’s Tumblr site over the past month reveals very few black individuals—apart from the president and his wife, Michelle—in the pictures posted in the feed.

The Democratic National Committee (DNC) has come under fire from African-American groups in recent years alleging that the party organization has failed to award contracts to black-owned business despite repeated pledges to advance the interests such firms.

The Obama campaign did not immediately return a request for comment.

So you’re telling me that in circumstances where results are important to Obama, he uses an all-white staff? Isn’t that racist of him?

I can't imagine how bad that room smells with all of those unwashed hippies in it.

And, I'd also bet that every single one of them is thinking to themselves: "See! I can't possibly be a racist. I LOVE Obama!"

(yes, these are big assumptions, but i'm in a bad mood today..... it's been a long monday)

No. I see two or three Asians in there. “Our strength is in our diversity”, if I recall the loop recording correctly.

That's cuz those comprise the political wing. Of the military wing, you've already seen pictures of Rev. Wright's congregation. Apparently, the coalition forces don't do a whole lot of intermingling.
