The Obamas are amateurs. They should just use diversity background photos, like the Clintons.

Obama advance: 'Get me more white people' POLITICO Ben Smith
From the account in Carnegie Mellon's paper, the Tartan, of a Michelle Obama event in Pittsburgh: 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.” I'm not sure there's any real reason for outrage here; every campaign, at least implicitly, includes race in the staging of events like this -- even a campaign whose supporters chant "race doesn't matter." But they don't usually get caught doing it this explicitly. And (if you didn't pick it up from the bowling) it does give you a sense of the community Obama's trying to reach in Pennsylvania: whitefolks.

Saturday Night Live. “We need more Cow Bell!”
I’m going to use that as my defense if a sketch artist ever draws my face.
“That could be anybody”
What’s that Jerry Reed Song “Framed”
...”they took me down to the line up and let the bright lights shine. There were nine other poor souls with me up there on that line. But, i had a feeling I was the victim of someone’s evil plan. ‘Cause this woman pointed a finger at me and said ‘that skinny one he’s the man.’”
The mindset of liberals: all for show, nothing substantive.
For the first time in my life, I continue to be appalled at liberalism.
Where all the white women at???
JUST KIDDING, JUST KIDDING!
They needed typical white people. You know, Polo shirt and Lands End trousers. No facial hair or tatoos.
That would be a great new motto for the NBA
‘Whites’ will be blamed when Obama loses the general election to President McDole. Democrats only hope is Clinton.
"We must KILL all the WHITE PEOPLE!!! (but buy my record first....)"
Its so obvious that ALL Democratic public events are staged to be demographically”diverse”.Similar to going to any college catalog these days and all you see are smiling groups of blacks,Asians,Latinos and white women just having a GREAT time at Podunk U.
Then you actually VISIT these schools and see mostly white males who are rarely IN the catalogs and the various “minority”groups hang out with only each other.
LOL!! They could hire Bob Cousy and Bob Knight to do outreach programs in South Dakota, Utah, and New Hampshire.
(takes a lot to make me break down and say that on here);)
I like you brwnsuga!
I've taken to noting this practice particularly, in order to resist the brainwashing effect of uncriticized mental input. Try it. See how often you see a normal white guy featured in a billboard picture, for instance.
Great movie. Can’t watch it on TV though, too many ‘bleeps’ nowadays.
Yep, I bought the DVD years ago figuring they would pull it someday.
