Default Obama's Chicago Campaign HQ

Obama's own site shows two pictures...One from when they first got their Chicago headquarters and one from recent times to show us how much they've grown...It says "Chicago HQ, 2011 versus 2012: What a difference a year makes."...



Anyone notice something?...

Notice that every single one of his Chicago staff...how should I say this..................doesn't look like Obama's son if he had one?...

Chicago is 36.8% black...Obama's headquarters?....Not so much...

Of course, if this was Romney's headquarters, there'd be front page stories with the headlines "Snowflake Coalition!" all over the place...

Perhaps African Americans are not as likely to volunteer for a campaign as whites? I have not the foggiest, nor see how this is a big deal.

Do you not think this is nit-picking a bit too far, cnredd?

Look in the very back, second to the far-right. He is wearing a light-blue shirt with his right hand to his face.

I believe the point is it's not a big deal unless the media decides to make it one which of course they won't in this case. Take those same pics and make the headline Tea Party Headquarters and watch the crap hit the fan.

Bingo!...

It's also funny that the defense of "African Americans are not as likely to volunteer for a campaign as whites"...

You CAN'T name a profession where blacks don't have the same representation as their population and black organizations DON'T start hollering how blacks aren't being RECRUITED ENOUGH...

New York Fire Dept. Has Not Done Enough to Recruit Minorities, Judge Finds

State, NAACP agree to focus on future State Police recruitment

Think the NAACP or anyone else is gonna say "Obama isn't recruiting enough minorities for his campaign?"....
