Obama Photo Controversy Reveals More Liberal Racists?

Ahh more on the weird selection of Obama photos by the White House

We see the usual meme here

Andrew Sullivan says

quote:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And then I realized why this photo immediately strikes some people are damning. Obama is a black man who looks as if he is condescending to a white man. That's political gold.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


As Ann Althouse said

quote:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Plus this on the reaction: “It’s political gold against Sullivan. And I don’t just mean because he played the race card with so little provocation. It’s damaging to Sullivan because the way he arrived at the racial interpretation was entirely by searching around in his own brain. He thought and he thought — he puzzled — and then he realized what looked bad to ’some people.’ Some people? But that was you seeing that, Andrew! What you see is what you see. How much alienation from one’s own thoughts there must be that you would expose your own racism like that!”

More here at Everybody's talking about that James Bond/dead tired photograph of Obama



We have seen this before.

With Dowd at the New York Times and her brain hearing the word "boy" as to that YOU LIE thing at the Joint session of congress

We saw it in the harmless and funny Playboy Mansion ads ran against Harold Ford in Tenn ( He is out to sleep with the white women) . I actually have to imagine that ad got him more Redneck Tenn Vols Votes. Like way to go Harold!!

Also in a similar vein we saw it as to the harmless funny McCain Brittany Spears ads (More people thinking it is some hidden message that Obama wants to bed the white chicks ).

For the record when I look at the photo I think Obama finds Biden annoying which to be honest I have to imagine is for many a Bi Partisan multi racial outlook by a good many folks.
