Whoa there, Captain Canada. All that socialized medicine you've been taking is rotting your brain.

Jerome Da Preposterous Fraud is a busy man, what with those fifteen wonderful families and having to pay one fucktillion dollars per hour in taxes and all, but in good time he'll be along with a big fat lie that ties together the entire argument. And don't you worry none. If anyone has the temerity to point out that he's told a big fat lie, he'll simply pretend he never said it or deny that it has anything to do with his real point.

In this instance, the real point is that depicting Obama as a pair of shining white eyes against an all-black background is racist only if one is actively looking to be offended. You know, just like minstrel shows, Amos and Andy, and George Wallace.

You might have had a leg to stand on here if the Obama picture featured eyeballs and blazing white teeth shining in the dark, but as matters actually stand you've got nothing.
