While the crowd was indeed diverse, some students at the event questioned the practices of Mrs. Obama’s event coordinators, who handpicked the crowd sitting behind Mrs. Obama. The Tartan’s 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, “We’re moving you, sorry. It’s going to look so pretty, though.”

“I didn’t 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 didn’t 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.

“Honkies and crackers over here, spics over dere, chinks right here...”

Sheesh, everything is identity politics, race, gender class hatred. And they`ve got a shot at controlling Congress and the Presidency !

“I’ve been here since 11 a.m. setting up and it’s 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.

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.

No worries Mammy Bammy. There will be more white people coming out to vote in November then you want.

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

These people have the gall to tell us the adversities they face when they grew up...let me see - got into good schools, scholarships because of affirmative action...be the first black editor of Harvard Law Review w/o any significant writings of his own (hmmm...affirmative candidate - anyone)..and making millions while donating 25K to Rev. Wright’s church and complaining they have not done paying with their student loans...and yeah, nothing to be really proud of this country even with all these advantages...Compare to McCain, shot down and captured in a foreign country...offered to get out early because his dad was the pacific commander of the navy - BUT HE DIDN”T - suffer 5 and a half yrs of torture by the Viet Congs...Hmmm...he had it easy indeed...I just wonder out loud if the reverse is true, how fast a Michelle Obama or a Barack Obama or for that matter, a John F Kerry would denounce the US KKKA in order to get out of the POW camp first...I have to say I can handle BHO, he seems to be an Ok guy..but Michelle Obama - she is wicked to the first degree...and she would be an even more lightning rod than Hillary ever was in the 90s.

The thing that is surprising to me is that this article is from a college newspaper. Carnegei Mellon is the BEST school in Pittsburgh, and one of the best in the country. They would be the prime elite whites that Obama already has. I’m surprised they published this. Then again, there are a lot of Asian kids that go there too. CMU is big in Computer Science & Drama.

Hate to break it to you all but blacks get front row seats at republican events too. That game gets played by all politicians.
