Are those Barack Obama's hands on cardboard cutout?

It seems a certain cardboard cutout of President Barack Obama has white hands. Or does it?

Advanced Graphics, a Utah company in its 25th year of producing cardboard cutouts, released its Obama during election season. Many fans have posed for photos next to the life-size model of Obama, which is popular at sites around Washington, D.C. The cutout even made it to a funeral home in Jersey. Then the online magazine The Root published the story "Black President, White Hands?" in which the author said the body on the cutout appeared to have been grafted from a heavier, white man.

"It's really about respecting the man himself. We take this as serious as can be."

We take our cardboard cutouts of cardboard-character politicians seriously around here.

We shouldn’t worry about some cardboard Obomba hands, rather we should worry about Obomba’s cardboard Marxist brain.

Those who have never met a black person might not know that black people have white palms!

And of course, most of the typical white people here on FR have never met a black person.

Best answer, so far. This is such a silly issue, but it is not surprising that Obama's hands are not as dark as his face, he makes sure that he has a good tan before any major speech. The pictures of Obama from his early college days reveal a very light skinned Black guy with freckles.

I sincerely hope that was just a lame attempt at humor.

Sorry. You’re mistaken. It wasn’t the least bit lame.
