Side by side on my piano keyboard oh lord why don't we?
Ok, is it just me? Lately every time I see a new picture of Obambi, he looks blacker than before.
Look at that picture of him & Clinton. I know that Clinton is a pasty white but I’ve never seen Obambi this black before.

It’s not just you. I wouldn’t be surprised if he was putting on blackface just to make him look more like a ‘brutha’ in order to stir up his base more.
Or I could just be seeing things.

You're not imagining it. That was my thought too.
Believe it or not, there are people who take very seriously the slightest hint that there's not much difference between BO's complexion (very light-skinned "black" man a.k.a. mulatto) and Romney's complexion (healthy tan). There have been arguments about the shade of makeup Romney wore at one of the debates (that he was trying for a darker shade to make himself more appealing, for goodness' sake).
Is the voting public's mood really that nuanced, that fragile, that people are touch and go over some Pantone shade? Because when it gets right down to it, if it becomes a conscious part of the voting public's mind, "BO is practically a white guy, so lets forget about his skin color and take a good look at his record and his policies and plans for the future" the whole BO magic carpet drops out from under them and the fun ride is over with a jolt.
So in answer to your question: Yes. It's makeup. If BO looks too "white" then his record and policies fall under closer scrutiny, so his handlers have to make sure in his public appearances that he looks as dark as possible. The job they did on him in that picture is just too obvious. All that's missing is the brand (did they use Graftobian, Joe Blasco, MAC, maybe Kryolan?). Did they use a paper collar protector to guard against smudges? Did they blend convincingly at the hairline?
“Purple Rage, purple rage.”
You have a point. That photo is THE darkest I’ve ever seen Obama, and it goes beyond the contrast with Clinton.
I thought the same thing!
I think he is seething that he has to stand on stage next to the (former) pervert-in-chief. I think he is flushed and that enhances his color.
