More of the new politics we’re gonna get from Barack Obama, this time in a form that by rights should be infuriating his supporters, but they’re so drunk on Obamaade they’ll never even notice how ironic it is.
During President Bush’s term, he’s developed a reputation for controlling every single minute aspect of a press event including how the crowd looks. Many have ripped into him on numerous occasions for manipulating the audience behind him, for example, to make his crowd look more “diverse” (ie: to make it look like there are more black people at his speeches; let’s be honest; diversity = more black people) and more blue collar (people wearing ties were asked to remove them to create that warm fuzzy folksy look). Here’s an example of a libtard website that went way deep into analyzing Bush’s “theater”
So what does this have to do with Barack Obama and his new politics and all that hope stuff? Well, apparently his pitbull wife was having a little get together, but the crowd behind her was a little too black for her tastes.
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.”
It isn’t supposed to be, Shayna. It’s supposed to be “new politics” and change, hope, etc. and so on.
Instead, it’s just more of the same.
