Well, Obama's not going to put up Norman's 'Thanksgiving Dinner'... that's too nice and too decent!

Norman Rockwell Painting Sends Rare White House Message On Race

By Josh Gerstein

Barack Obama has taken a decidedly low-key approach to racial issues since he became America’s first black president two years ago. But in a hallway outside the Oval Office, he has placed a head-turning painting depicting one of the ugliest racial episodes in U.S. history.

Norman Rockwell’s “The Problem We All Live With,” installed in the White House last month, shows U.S. marshals escorting Ruby Bridges, a 6-year-old African-American girl, into a New Orleans elementary school in 1960 as court-ordered integration met with an angry and defiant response from the white community.

The thrust of the painting is not subtle. America’s vilest racial epithet appears in letters several inches high at the top of the canvas. To the left side, the letters “KKK” are plainly visible. The crowds, mostly women who gathered daily to taunt Bridges as she went to a largely empty school, are not shown in the picture. But the racist graffiti and a splattered tomato convey the hostile atmosphere.

Despite the historic nature of his election, Obama has rarely dwelt on racial issues...

(Ribbet!)

Doesn't that headline make you just laugh yourself in half? 'Rare' message my left foot! It drips out of the man like spit. He's a sneaky man and I bet he was a sneaky little boy (or maybe he's still just a sneaky little boy...). If he doesn't find a way to imply 'racisms!' then one of his minions or JournoListers 'accidentally' does it for him (once the Congresswomen in the red gilt 'cowboy' hat sits down...)

After all the 'he's going to 'unite the planet' and 'heal' it up and 'unify' us and 'this is a new day' crap, he'll probably start drawing his economic charts in the shape of swastikas!

He's gonna stir the pot--and keep it stirred up--until we have a full-blown race riot in this country. After all, it's going to take a lot of chaos to distract folks from the fact they can't eat 3 meals a day, and they're sleeping at the bus depot, and sharing winter coats. What martial law order couldn't use a little crises?
