Michelle Obama's seating arrangements (5.00 / 2) (#69)

What gets me is how there are so many "shocked" by this.
This is standard in ALL campaigns.  All the candidates do this.  Those two African American gentlemen at McCain rallies. . . Those sweet faced African American teens and accompanying multicultural adults (Hispanic, Asian) at Hillary rallies. . . .  Those enthusiastic white coeds and soccer moms at Obama events.
We truly are naive about the impact of race in this country.
Well--at least some of us are.
Stop whining---non issue, unless you want to drag all of the candidates into it.

Only relevance is TeamO's claim to be against it (none / 0) (#77)

I wouldn't bat an eye about this stuff no matter who did it but for all the fawning blovi-hours spent holding Obama up as above that type of stuff.

Every campaign has supporters who'll tweak the visuals by encouraging (eg) cheering or selecting flattering questions from a telegenic audience member at a town hall.

When a something as mild as a softball question is used to portray Sen Clinton as a grasping "monster" who'll stop at nothing to get elected  -- as the Obama campaign fanned into a news story -- while sending their own plants to heckle and goad fmr. President Clinton, it's something the Obamas indeed need to explain personally.

This hands-on mendacity in that case should be addressed by any shills who got in a bunch

Perhaps Keith "Obamann" could make it the subject of his next sputtering rant.
