It’s a diary on Daily Kos, so more verification is presumably in order, but there is evidence that the Clinton campaign has darkened up Obama to make him look blacker in one of their campaign ads.

That reminds me of another thing I have been irked by. Obama is as much “white” as he is “black”. He had a white mother and black father. Everyone refering to him as black is at least 1/2 wrong, and no one refers to him as white. Why is that?
Obama is an American. He is as much an African American as I am an Irish American.
I wish we could just start putting skin color in the same bucket as eye or hair color…
This is courtesy of our long and not so proud history on race. If you’re not entirely white, you’re something else. Maybe electing a President Obama is a step on the way to putting skin color into the eye/hair color bucket.
The effect may just be an artifact of changing graphic/video formats and the aspect ratios.
Consider looking at a person’s picture on a bunch a televisions at an electronics store – the skin tone can be different on each one.
And, ironically, considering politics can give anybody a greenish cast about the face these days…
