One of the (many) local papers, Metro, ran this picture on their front page a day before the election. We had to dumpster dive, ok ok recycle bin dig, to get a copy but we really wanted to have it. All along I was hearing people say, "If Obama were white there'd be no question." I love that someone chose to address the issue in such a blatant way. We all know by now the election went the way it was supposed to go but how sad is it for America that everyone else in the world could see what a great number of Americans could not?
