  1. Anyway, are you sure there are no blacks in that pic? Take a look at the woman in front of the guy in the purple polo shirt. You only see a sliver of her, with dark straight hair and an upraised hand. Can’t exactly tell where her ancestors came from, but I doubt it was northern Europe. And she looks like at least 5% of the picture.

  2. I don’t know about you guys, but the one thing that struck me was, “are there any Hawaiians in that photo?”

    Because this is historic, what with it being the first president from Hawaii… and that photo looks awfully full of Washingtonians to me.

  3. Sheesh! some people need to get a life and move on. It is a photo of young voters who really made a difference. They were not voting “The Black Guy,” they voted for the best person, regardless of any skin tones.

    Spirited, energetic, and determined young voters at that.

    Oh, and it’s a great angled shot. Not a straight on boring head shot.

  4. Are you saying the media chooses pictures of young attractive women more frequently than other pictures?

    Next thing you know, you’ll tell me the media obsesses when they go missing … for weeks on end …
