While the crowd was indeed diverse, some students at the event questioned the practices of Mrs. Obamas event coordinators, who handpicked the crowd sitting behind Mrs. Obama. The Tartans correspondents observed one event coordinator say to another,
Get me more white people, we need more white people. To an Asian girl sitting in the back row, one coordinator said, Were moving you, sorry. Its going to look so pretty, though.I didnt know they would say, We need a white person here, said attendee and senior psychology major Shayna Watson, who sat in the crowd behind Mrs. Obama. I understood they would want a show of diversity, but to pick up people and to reseat them, I didnt know it would be so outright.

Well, that’s the Obama campaign in a nutshell.
It’s all about appearances. The truth is not important.

Well we can’t have a TV image of Mz Obama with nothing but black people around her, can we? We must maintain the illusion that whites are excited about Obama.

Ive been here since 11 a.m. setting up and its been amazing. It feels like [Barack] Obama is coming, said sophomore social and decision sciences major Rotimi Abimbola, a leader of Students for Obama who had only a few days to coordinate the event.Social and Decision Sciences... are you freakin kidding me?
This is a college major.

For now.

It's so transparent. This cherry-picking crap is despicable.
If a racially diverse crowd ends up attending the event, then fine. But don't highlight the fact that the crowd is racially diverse. They're PEOPLE, period. And for God's sake, don't move people around to artificially make it look like an "I'd Like to Teach The World To Sing" session.
Oh, and Mrs. Obama? You and your husband are still racists.

Obama’s handlers just marketing a Oreo.....nothing new. Those silly socialist sheeple will just wash it down with a little kool aid and listen to Miss Cleo spew the shineola for shekels as their sugar high leaves em glazed and broke !

Nazi filmmaker Leni Riefenstahl spent hours assembling crowds to evoke just the right “Aryan” backdrop. This reminds me of that, now using the cult of diversity as the overriding obsession.

I feel so used, for all these years I’ve needed a token black guy.
Now they are doing the same to me.

Good thing she didn’t say, “Get me more smart people”. That’d be a hard order to fill at a ‘Rat rally.
