Who's more racist? Obama or Hillary -- here's how they do the TV shots
Who's more racist? Obama or Hillary -- here's how they do the TV shots
I was at one of Obama's recent victory speeches.
And here's what happened...
A friend of mine had tickets to Obama's victory speech and she invited me to
go. When we got to the venue a guy working for the Obama campaign asked us
if we wanted to be on the bleachers or on the floor. We asked "which is
better?" and he said "definitely the bleachers because you might be on TV"
so that's what we went for -- the bleachers are behind the podium so that
means you're behind Obama (or, really, whoever) the whole time he's talking
(whether you're in the camera frame is a different story, depends on how
zoomed in the camera is.) So that guy gave us red wristbands and we were
fast-tracked through the long line and into the venue to go up on the
bleachers. (to go to this event we were supposed to have a print-out of a
confirmation email we received and our driver's license in order to get
in.... our fast-track didn't ask for any of that.... so much for security
:-) When we got our places on the bleachers we were a few rows up and not
too off-center of the podium - and we were happy with that. After they
passed out the signs and flags (by the way: those "home made" signs aren't!
They're made by the campaign and passed out before the event) the guy in
charge of video moved people around. He came up to me and my friend and
said "come with me" and I said "you're moving us?" (rather sadly) and he
said "yes, I'm putting you on TV" Guess how they arranged us? All white
women right behind Obama with very little exception (again, it depends on
how zoomed in the TV cameras are by the different networks). We had been
next to an African-American father and son but that guy moved us from them
so that we'd be in the shot.
Is that exploiting race? Is it "fair" to pick on Hillary for her words,
when actiona can speak to the same? I knew at the time why I was moved to
be within camera shot: I was a white female and Obama's campaign wanted to
show that we (as a demographic) voted for him and not Hillary. So, why is
it only Hillary that gets called out on race whenever she mentions a
demographic? Because she's white? I think Obama was able to skirt Rev.
Wright's racist remarks. How lucky of him. Is this hypocritical in some
way?

That's politics. It happens EVERYWHERE.
In Canada, Steve Harper's government has very few women in it...but
guess where they all sit in Parliament??? That's right...they're all
right behind Steve....precisely so that the camera will give the
impression that there are more women then there really are.
If they pulled back the camera and gave a pan shot...all you'd see
beyond the puddle of fembots is an ocean of men.

That is politics, but Obama was suppose to be different. He isn't! He
is a con man with a good line of vague bullshit.

Rick, did Hannity give you a new word to play with? "Appeaser"? That
is so cute! For once I agree with you: Obama likes to see people
appeased, as opposed to Bush, who is a buttfucker who has buttfucked
this whole country. It's good that we can see eye to eye for once.
