Maybe Obama really isn't black enough?

Oh wow, I hadn't seen this. No, I wouldn't suspect that even Hillary's camp would be low enough to do this sort of thing.

Umm well there's no proof of it, and this doesn't even have a link to the ad so we can see for ourselves, with a comparison.

There is far more evidence that the Canadians at least, believe that Obama's message to them was "no worries, business as usual on NAFTA".

The piece suggests that darker black men are more menacing.. thats seems racist.

They are definitely perceived as more menacing by a certain segment of the population.

If Obama had significantly darker skin, he wouldn't stand a chance in this primary. That's the nature of race & racism in America, imo.

That’s true, but there’s no evidence of this Onceler. I hope you are not getting like Chap and SF on this subject, I just couldn’t take it!

Blackascoal said Obama has gained more respect or 'cred' within the black community because his wife is darker.

Well, evidence is tough on this one, thus the "imo." I think it's a pretty solid conclusion, though.

If I ever get like SF on anything, let me know, so I can start figuring out the best & most painless way to kill myself...

How is it a solid conclusion? Have you seen the ad? I haven't seen it, and I think you'd need a still from that ad, and do a side by side comparison. Otherwise, I don't know you'd know it happened. This piece appears to be complete conjecture by FOX. I haven't googled to see if there is anything else out there though.

Sorry; I meant that it's a solid conclusion that if Obama's skin was significantly darker, he'd have little chance in the primary; not solid that Clinton did it deliberately.

I did see the side by side; it's on Fox's main site. It's clearly darker, but it could just be a result of the usual campaign ad trickery (campaigns always darken the ads when they're focusing on the opponent, and bring in the menacing "Jaws" music"...)

The pictures are side by side in the Fox article and it supposedly came from DailyKos.

Oh I see. Well, they play that ad on the talk shows, but I don't pay any attention, the next time they show it, I'll look.

That is quite obvious. That segment appears to be the lefties at dailykos.

I trust nothing from FOX. Nothing. They show Republicans in legal trouble with the word "Democrat" under them.

I'll look myself when that idiot Carlson or someone like him, plays the ad again.
