For a man who hates racism.....I find this to be a very racist remark. Is this a way to start out a new presidency? Obama thinks we should all be color blind and then lets a racist give the benediction. Nice, real nice.

I'm a pretty white bread guy and I didn't take offense at it. In fact we all had a bit of a chuckle about it. No worse than allowing a bigot like that fat slob from Orange County open his yap.
I couldn't care less.
So what? Anything said today doesn't mean a single thing - it was all emotonal rhetoric that was meant to strike heartstrings - just like all last spring and summer, on both sides. What matters is the deals that are going to be cut in the next four years in the back rooms and at the restaurants and bars, nowhere near the halls of Congress or the White House. Anyone who listened to - and believed - today's pompous pontifications and moralizing mendacity deserves whatever surprises they get.

Tasteful. Tell me, do you always use name calling as your way of sticking out your tongue at people who disagree with you? Kinda third grade, don't ya think?

"Racist"? Sure it is...and I'm surprised Obamas 'arrangers' allowed this. But SERIOUSLY? It has all the 'sting' of a second-grade playground taunt.."brown..stick around"?...."yellow...mellow"?..etc etc.
OK, I'm impressed...but hardly concerned...SO THERE !! Nyaaah nyaaah NYAHHH ! STEP ON A CRACK, BREAK A CONSERVATIVE'S BACK !!! I'm rubber, and YOU'RE GLUE !! Whatever you say bounces off ME, and sticks to YOU !!
...anyway, you get the idea. Racist? Ok....also undignified and silly. Next time, Mr. President, audition your speakers a little better. This guy should be writing Tupperware jingles...
