C'mon, you know how this works. If you say anything about Obama that isn't flattery, it's racist.

I've noticed that using "black", or African American even, as a descriptor is no longer considered politically correct. In the local paper, a perpetrator being sought by the police is described thusly:

White guy: White male, 5'10, 180 pounds wearing a green sweatshirt
Asian guy: Asian male, 5'10, 180 pounds wearing a green sweatshirt
Latino guy: Hispanic male, 5'10, 180 pounds wearing a green sweatshirt
Arabic guy: Middle Eastern male, 5'10, 180 pounds wearing a green sweatshirt
Black guy: Male, 5'10, 180 pounds wearing a green sweatshirt

If mentioning someone's race in explaining the subtle difference in appearance between President Obama and Alfred E. Neuman makes me a racist, well that's pretty stupid, but that's the world we live in I guess.

P.S. I think it was the ears and smile that first lead me to see the resemblance. And it would seem I'm not the only one to think so...

No. I'm just being a turd.

I remember a few years ago someone made a political cartoon of Condi Rice and got a bunch of flak for being racially insensitive. People said he made her look too black or something. It's was pretty ridiculous. She is freaking black. That's how she looks.

Just for the record, I didn't think you were serious about the racist thing.
