How tiresome, that any criticism of Obama is considered racism.
I despise Obama's ideology. I can't stand the photos of tearful and worshipful supporters. I don't like the awe-struck tone you occasionally adopt when writing about him.
That said, I think the photo of him with Biden is excellent. It shows two men who appear to be intellectually engaged, unlike many photos of politicos that appear posed or that show people yelling past each other.
Can you guess my degree of racism based on my positive opinion of the photo?
No, I can't. And I agree that it is tiresome that any criticism of Obama is considered racist. But what I was drawing attention to was a specific instance in which, it seems to me, racism is pretty obviously at work. But make your own mind up.
